We present a combined measurement of Rb = \Gamma(Z -> bb) / \Gamma(Z ->hadrons) and the semileptonic branching ratio of b quarks in Z decays, BR(b-> l nu X), using double-tag methods. Two analyses are performed on one million hadronic Z…

The structure of e+e- -> bbg events was studied using Z0 decays recorded in the SLD experiment at SLAC. Three-jet final states were selected and the CCD-based vertex detector was used to identify two of the jets as b or bbar. Distributions…

We report a new measurement of A_c using data obtained by SLD in 1993-98. This measurement uses a vertex tag technique, where the selection of a c hemisphere is based on the reconstructed mass of the charm hadron decay vertex. The method…

We report the first observation of the charmless two-body mode $B^{\pm} \to \omega K^{\pm}$ decay, and a new measurement of the branching fraction for the $B^{\pm} \to \omega \pi^{\pm}$ decay. The measured branching fractions are ${\cal B}…
