We present updated measurements of time-dependent CP asymmetries in fully reconstructed neutral B decays containing a charmonium meson. The measurements reported here use a data sample of $(465\pm 5)\times 10^6$ $\Upsilon(4S) \to B \bar{B}$…
We report on preliminary measurements of time-dependent CP asymmetries in neutral B decays to CP eigenstates with transition amplitudes that are dominated by penguin-type loops. The results are obtained from a data sample of up to 227…
We discuss an improved theoretical description of the semi-inclusive B meson decays $B\to K(K^*)X$. The decay distributions are calculated. Their branching ratios are found to be appreciable. The CP asymmetries in the neutral B modes…
In this review we first discuss the string theoretical motivations for induced decoherence and deviations from ordinary quantum-mechanical behaviour; this leads to intrinsic CPT violation in the context of an extended class of…
psi and Upsilon decays may be used to search for light neutral spin-1 or spin-0 bosons associated with a broken extra-U(1) symmetry, local or global, acting axially on quarks and leptons, as may be present in supersymmetric theories with a…
In general a decay with a missing (not detected) particle can not be fully reconstructed apart from a few exceptions. For example, if the momentum of the decaying particle is known or if the missing energy in an event is measured precisely,…
We report a new sensitive search for CPT violation, which includes improved measurements of the CPT-violating parameter z and the total decay-width difference normalized to the averaged width DeltaGamma_d/Gamma_d of the two Bd mass…
The large data sample being recorded with the Belle detector at the $\Upsilon$(5S) energy provides a unique opportunity to study the less-well-known $B_s^{0}$ meson decays. Following our recent measurement of $B_s^{0}\to D_s^{-}\pi^{+}$ in…
We perform a stability analysis of the homogeneous ground state of nuclear matter against inhomogeneous perturbations of the pion condensate. In $\beta$-equilibrium, restricting the baryon species to nucleons only, we observe no…
We present a measurement of CP-violating asymmetries in B0 -> pi+pi- decays based on a 41.8 fb-1 data sample collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. We fully reconstruct…
If new CP violating physics contributes to neutral meson mixing, but its contribution to CP violation in decay amplitudes is negligible, then there is a model independent relation between four (generally independent) observables related to…
We estimate the sensitivity of single lepton CP violation measurements with respect to that of traditional di-lepton measurements. We find that the sensitivity of the single lepton method is better than that of the di-lepton method. The…
We study decoherence of two non-interacting qubits. The environment and its interaction with the qubits are modelled by random matrices. Decoherence, measured in terms of purity, is calculated in linear response approximation. Monte Carlo…
We report a measurement of the $B^0-\bar{B}^0$ mixing parameter $\Delta m_d$ based on a $\rm 29.1~fb^{-1}$ sample of $\Upsilon (4S)$ resonance decays collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric $e^+ e^-$ collider. We use events…
Recent data on charmonium production in B-meson decays suggest that charmonium hybrid mesons with mass ~4 GeV may be produced in B-decay via c\bar{c} colour octet operators. Some of these states are likely to be narrow with clean signatures…
Although CP violation in the B meson system has been well established by the B factories, there has been no direct observation of time reversal violation. The decays of entangled neutral B mesons into definite flavor states ($B^0$ or…
We study the time evolution and decay of the neutral B-meson system using quantum dynamical semigroups. New, nonstandard terms appear in the expression of relevant observables; they can be parametrized in terms of six phenomenological…
We report studies of the decay B+- -> D_CP K+-, where D_CP denotes neutral D mesons that decay to CP eigenstates. The analysis is based on a 29.1/fb data sample of collected at the \Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB…
The BABAR experiment at the PEP-II asymmetric B factory at SLAC has collected a large sample of data at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance. I will summarize BABAR's new results on CP violation, B mixing and lifetimes, and a selection of rare B…
We report evidence for the $B$ meson decays, $B^\pm\to J/\psi \eta K^\pm$ and $B^0\to J/\psi \eta K^0_S$, using {90} million $B\bar B$ events collected at the $\ensuremath{\Upsilon{(4S)}}$ resonance with the \babar detector at the PEP-II…
