We have measured the vector-pseudoscalar mass splitting $M(D_s^{*+})-M(D_s^+) = 144.22\pm 0.47\pm 0.37 MeV$, significantly more precise than the previous world average. We minimize the systematic errors by also measuring the…
We consider the gluino-mediated SUSY contributions to B0 - B0 bar mixing, B -> J/psi K_S and B -> X_d gamma in the mass insertion approximation. We find the (LL) mixing parameter can be as large as |delta_{13}^d_{LL}| < 2*10^-1, but the…
We argue that a Standard Model decoupling limit is generically the necessary ingredient which makes scenarios of electro-weak symmetry breaking viable. This applies especially also to models of dynamical electro-weak symmetry breaking.…
Recently, a more than 2sigma discrepancy has been observed between the well measured inclusive value of Vub and the predicted value of Vub from the unitarity triangle fit using the world average value of sin2beta. We attempt to resolve this…
We report a preliminary result for D0-D0bar mixing and the doubly Cabibbo suppressed decay rate R_D based on an analysis of D0 -> K+ pi- decays from 57.1 inverse fb of data collected at or just below the Y(4S) resonance with the BaBar…
In models inspired by non-commutative geometry, patterns of gauge symmetry breaking are analyzed, and SU(5) models are found to naturally favor a vacuum preserving SU(3) X SU(2) X U(1). A more realistic model is presented, and the…
An interesting extension of the Standard Model is based on the electroweak gauge group SU(3)_L x U(1). It requires three generations to cancel anomalies, treats the third generation differently than the first two, and has a rich…
SU(3) collective coordinate quantization to the regular solution of the B=2 axially symmetric Einstein-Skyrme system is performed. For the symmetry breaking term, a perturbative treatment as well as the exact diagonalization method called…
The recently observed color suppressed B0bar to D0 pi0, D0 eta, D0 eta', Ds+ K-and D0 K0bar decay modes all have rates larger than expected, hinting at the presence of final state interactions. We study rescattering effects in Bbar to D P,…
The radiative electroweak symmetry breaking, the unification of third-generation Yukawa couplings, and flavor-changing rare decay are investigated in two types of supersymmetric SO(10) scenarios taking into account of the effects of…
We measure the time dependence of the ratio of decay rates for the rare decay D0->K+pi- to the Cabibbo-favored decay D0->K-pi+. We use a signal of 12.7 x10^3 D0->K+pi decays with proper decay times between 0.75 and 10 mean D0 lifetimes. The…
We consider the possibility that D^0 - anti-D^0 mixing undergoes resonant enhancement. Various scenarios are explored, including the potential effects of nearby pseudoscalar or scalar quark-antiquark (Q - anti-Q) resonances as well as of…
It is shown that the complex phase of $B^0$--$\bar {B^0}$ mixing matrix element is same as that of the standard model one up to the minor correction of the order of $(m_c/m_t)^2$ or less in the SUSY standard model. This conclusion is valid…
Due to quantum correlations in the C=-1 and C=+1 D0 D0bar pairs produced in the reactions e+ e- --> D0 D0bar (n pi0) and e+ e- --> D0 D0bar gamma (n pi0), respectively, the time-integrated D0 D0bar decay rates are sensitive to interference…
The gauge symmetry breaking in 3-3-1 models can be implemented dynamically because at the scale of a few TeVs the U(1)_X coupling constant becomes strong. The exotic quark T introduced in the model will form a condensate breaking SU(3)_L x…
Various studies of Standard Model parameters involve measuring the properties of a coherent admixture of $D^0$ and $\overline{D}^0$ states. A typical example is the determination of the Unitarity Triangle angle $\gamma$ in the decays $B\to…
We report an improved measurement of the B+ -> D+ D0bar and B0 -> D0 D0bar decays based on 656.7 10^6 BBar events collected with the Belle detector at KEKB. We measure the branching fraction and charge asymmetry for the B+ -> D+ D0bar…
We review mixing and CP violation in $D$ mesons, emphasizing the differences with the other pseudoscalar mesons in the Standard Model, and show that $D$ mesons can be useful to look for physics beyond the Standard Model.
