We study the masses of the low-lying charm and bottom mesons within the framework of heavy- hadron chiral perturbation theory (HHChPT). We work to third order in the chiral expansion, where meson loops contribute. In contrast to previous…
The measurements of the forward-backward asymmetry in Z -> c cbar and Z -> b bbar decays are among the most precise determinations of sin^2(theta)_W. In this paper the results obtained by the DELPHI experiment at LEP with three different…
Since no Standard Model Higgs boson was discovered at LEP the searches were extended to beyond the Standard Model Higgs scenarios. A selection of final results from searches carried out by the four LEP experiments ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL…
We report on two spectroscopy results from CDF. First, we observe the orbitally excited $B^{**}$ mesons in $B \to \ell D^{(*)}X$ events. We find $28 \pm 6 \pm 3$% of light $B$ mesons produced are $B^{**}$ states. A collective mass fit…
Various properties of heavy-light mesons are determined, including decay constants, the $B_{B}$-parameter, and the Isgur-Wise function. The heavy (bottom) quark is simulated with the static, NRQCD and/or (fixed-velocity) lattice-HQET…
