A sample of 365 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^- \to \Upsilon(4S) \to B\bar{B}$ data collected by the Belle II experiment is used to measure the partial branching fractions of charmless semileptonic $B$ meson decays and determine the magnitude of the…
We report the initial results from CLEO-c based on the 55.8/pb data obtained at the psi(3770) resonance last year. We give a concise summary of the various CLEO-c analyses on leptonic and semileptonic decays of neutral and charged D mesons.…
The number of charged particles inside jets is a widely used discriminant for identifying the quark or gluon nature of the initiating parton and is sensitive to both the perturbative and non-perturbative components of fragmentation. This…

The di-electron width of an Upsilon meson is the decay rate of the Upsilon into an electron-positron pair, expressed in units of energy. We measure the di-electron width of the Upsilon(1S) meson to be 1.354 +- 0.004 +- 0.020 keV (the first…
