We study top-quark decays in models with light sgoldstinos. The off-diagonal entries in the squark mass matrices can lead to FCNC top two-body decays into sgoldstinos and u(c) quarks. We compute the rates for these decays and discuss the…
We present the results of the contributions to the decay rate of the lightest Higgs particle into a charm-anticharm and bottom-antibottom pair within the minimal supersymmetric standard model when scalar quarks and a gluino are taken within…
We calculate the masses and leptonic decay widths of the bottomonium $b\bar b$ and charmonium $c\bar c$ states in a constituent quark model where the Cornell-like potential and spin-dependent interaction are employed, with all model…
The properties of heavy quark systems change if they are placed in a medium other than the low energy vacuum. In a hot Quark Gluon Plasma $J/\Psi$ particles will melt and not exist as resonant states. $\Upsilon$'s, however, because of their…
We argue that the photon spectra in radiative decays of various heavy quarkonium states provide important information on their nature. If two of these states are in the strong coupling regime, we are able to produce a parameter-free model…
We analyze the decays of charginos, neutralinos, gluinos and the first/second generation squarks in the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, focusing on the three-body decays in scenarios where the ratio $\tan \beta$ of…
Sum rules for exclusive production of heavy meson pairs in $e^+e^-$ annihilation are used to evaluate the $\Upsilon(4S) \to B \bar B$ and $\psi(3770) \to D \bar D$ decay widths. Infinitely heavy quark limit is discussed, so that scaling law…
About 40-50 % of the quarkonium ground states J/psi(1S) and Upsilon(1S) produced in hadronic collisions originate from the decay of higher excitations. In a hot medium, these higher states are dissociated at lower temperatures than the more…
We prove a general theorem about equal CP rate differences within pairs of U-spin related charmless $B$ and $B_s$ decays. Large deviations from equalities would be evidence for new physics. Six pairs of decays into two pseudoscalar mesons…
We use the ${\cal O}(\alpha_s^3)$ approximation of the heavy-quark vacuum polarization function in the threshold region to determine the bottom quark mass from nonrelativistic $\Upsilon$ sum rules. We find very good stability and…
In supersymmetric theories, the main decay modes of scalar quarks are decays into quarks plus charginos or neutralinos, if the gluinos are heavy enough. We calculate the O($\alpha_s$) QCD corrections to these decay modes in the minimal…
We report the first observation of the radiative decay of the $\Upsilon(1S)$ into a charmonium state. The statistical significance of the observed signal of $\Upsilon(1S) \to \gamma \chi_{c1}$ is 6.3 standard deviations including…
A systematic gauge-invariant method is used to calculate the rate for an upsilon meson to decay inclusively into a prompt photon. An expansion is made in the quark relative velocity v, which is a small natural parameter for heavy quark…
I present a more refined analysis of the mass-splittings between the different heavy quarkonia states, using {\it new double ratios} of exponential moments of different two-point functions. Then, I test the validity of the $1/m$-expansion,…
Using data collected with the CLEO-III detector at the CESR e+e- collider, we report on a first observation of the decay of the Upsilon(3S) to tau tau, and precisely measure the ratio of branching fractions of Upsilon(nS),n=1,2,3 to tau tau…
The upper bond on the branching ratio for $b\to s\gamma$ decays implies a stringent lower bound on the mass of the pseudoscalar Higgs boson of the MSSM if sparticles are heavy. This leads to an upper bound on the expected event rate in…
We show that the bosonic decays of the lighter top and bottom squarks, i.e. t~_1 -> b~_1 + (H^+ or W^+) and b~_1 -> t~_1 + (H^- or W^-), can be dominant in a wide range of the MSSM parameters. Compared to the fermionic decays, such as t~_1…
In the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) squarks from the third generation, i.e., the bottom and the top squarks, have a common set of parameters that determine their masses and couplings. These are in the form…
We search for evidence of a light scalar boson in the radiative decays of the Upsilon(2S) and Upsilon(3S) resonances: Upsilon(2S,3S)-> gamma A0, A0 -> mu^+ mu^-. Such a particle appears in extensions of the Standard Model, where a light…
I detail recent work done by the CLEO collaboration using data gathered at the CESR accelerator concerning the Upsilon system. Results include B_S production at the Upsilon(5S), decays of the Upsilon(nS) (n=1,2,3) to tau pairs, the Upsilon…
