The electromagnetic contribution to the $K^+ - K^0$ mass difference is calculated in the $1/N_c$ approach including the $SU(3)$ breaking contributions due to a non-zero strange quark mass. The short-distance contribution can be…

We study $K^-/K^+$ ratios as a function of centrality (participant nucleon number), transverse mass ($m_t$), and rapidity, in heavy-ion collisions at beam energies between 1A and 2A GeV. We use the relativistic transport model that includes…

The potentialities of the production of the scalar $K\bar K$ molecules in the $\phi$ radiative decays are considered beyond the narrow resonance width approximation. It is shown that $BR(\phi\rightarrow\gamma…

We present a measurement of pi-\pi+, K-/K+ and pbar/p from p+p collisions at sqrt(s) = 20 0GeV over the rapidity range 0<y<3.4. For pT < 2.0 GeV/c we see no significant transverse momentum dependence of the ratios. All three ratios are…

Recent results from BaBar and Belle experiments on $B \bar B$ mixing and $\sin 2\phi_1$ are presented. Accuracy of $\Delta m_d$ measurements has reached 1.2%. Higher order effects within the Standard Model or possible new physics effect…

The measured K$^+/\pi^+$ ratios from heavy-ion reactions are compared with the K$^+/\pi^+$ ratios from p+p reactions over the energy range 2-160 AGeV. The K/$\pi$ enhancement in heavy-ion reactions is largest at the lower energies,…

With the full $\babar$ data sample of 465 million BaBar pairs, we observe the decays B+- ->phi(1020) K_1(1270)+- and B+- ->phi(1020) K_2*(1430) +-. We measure the branching fractions (6.1+-1.6+-1.1)\times 10^{-6} and (8.4+- 1.9+- 0.9)\times…

We measure the absolute branching fraction for D0 --> K- pi+ using partial reconstruction of B0bar --> D^{*+} X \ell^{-} \bar{\nu}_{\ell} decays, in which only the charged lepton and the pion from the decay D^{*+} --> D0 pi^+ are used.…

Using data from the E791 fixed-target hadroproduction experiment at Fermilab we have studied the Cabibbo-favored but phase-space suppressed decay, $D^0 \to K^- K^- K^+ \pi^+$. We find the decay rate for this mode to be $(0.54 \pm 0.16 \pm…

We calculate the $00^{++}$-wave two-meson spectra for the reactions $\gamma\gamma\to\pi^0\pi^0$, $\gamma\gamma\to\pi^+\pi^-$, $\gamma\gamma\to K^0\bar K^0$ and $\gamma\gamma\to K^+ K^-$ on the basis of: (i) the results of the $K$-matrix…

Using a sample of four million hadronic Z events collected in ALEPH from 1991 to 1995, the decays D*+ -> D0pi^+_s, with D0 decaying to K-pi+ or to K+pi-, are studied. The relative branching ratio B(D0 -> K+pi-)/B(D0 -> K-pi+) is measured to…

We report measurements of the branching fractions and direct CP asymmetries (A_{CP}) for B->K pi, pi pi and KK decays (but not pi^0 pi^0) based on the final data sample of 772x10^6 B B-bar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with…

We search for the decays B- -> phi K- gamma and B0bar -> phi K0bar gamma in a data sample of 228 million BBbar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BaBar detector. We measure the branching fraction B(B- -> phi K- gamma) =…

The reaction pp -> d K^+ K^0-bar has been investigated at excess energies Q = 47.4 and 104.7 MeV above the K^+ K^0-bar threshold at COSY-Juelich. Coincident dK^+ pairs were detected with the ANKE spectrometer, and events with a missing…

We review various inequalities for Mills' ratio (1 - \Phi)/\phi, where \phi and \Phi denote the standard Gaussian density and distribution function, respectively. Elementary considerations involving finite continued fractions lead to a…

We report a study of the decay $B^0\rightarrow D K^+\pi^-$ followed by $D\rightarrow K^-\pi^+$, where $D$ indicates $D^0$ or $\bar{D}^0$. We reconstruct the $D K^+\pi^-$ state in a phase space corresponding to $D K^{*}(892)^0$. The…

Within the framework of dispersion theory, we study the the processes $e^+e^-\to \phi(2170) \to \phi \pi\pi(K\bar{K})$. The strong pion-pion final-state interactions, especially the $K\bar{K}$ coupled channel in the $S$-wave, are taken into…
