Decays of the Y(5S) resonance to channels with B^+ and B^0 mesons are studied using a 23.6 fb^{-1} data sample collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^+ e^- collider. Fully reconstructed B^+ -> J/\psi K^+, B^0 ->…
We discuss the physics case of a high luminosity B-Factory running at the Y(5S) resonance. We show that the coherence of the B meson pairs is preserved at this resonance, and that Bs can be well distinguished from Bd and charged B mesons.…
Several exclusive $B_s^0$ decays are studied using a 1.86 fb-1 data sample collected at the Y(5S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e^+ e^- collider. In the $B_s^0 \to D_s^- \pi^+$ decay mode we find 10 $B_s^0$…
Semileptonic decays of the $B \overline{B}$ pairs produced in the $\mathit{\Upsilon}(5S)$ can be used to find the relative probability of $\mathit{\Upsilon}(5S) \rightarrow B_s \overline{B}_s$ decays. This could be achieved by the study of…
A preliminary study of time dependence of B^0-anti-B^0 oscillations using dilepton events is presented. The flavor of the B meson is determined by the charge sign of the lepton. To separate signal leptons from cascade and fake leptons we…

Recent results obtained using the data sample of 23.6 fb^-1 collected on the Y(5S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e+ e- collider are discussed. Measurements of several B_s^0 decay branching fractions are…
About 90% of Bs-bar Bs pairs produced at the Upsilon(5s) resonance are initially Bs*-bar Bs* pairs which decay radiatively to Bs-bar Bs. This implies that the Bs pair will then be in an eigenstate of charge conjugation (i.e. C=-1) and…
We report a measurement of the exclusive $B^+$ meson decay to the final state $D_s^- K^+\pi^+$ using $520 \times 10^{6} B\bar{B}$ pairs collected near the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance, with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy…
The relative rates of B-meson decays into $J/\psi$ and $\psi(2S)$ mesons are measured for the three decay modes in pp collisions recorded with the LHCb detector. The ratios of branching fractions ($\mathcal{B}$) are measured to be…
We use data collected by the CLEO III detector at CESR on the Upsilon(5S) resonance to measure the inclusive yield of Ds mesons. Comparing with data taken on the Upsilon(4S), which decays into lighter B mesons, we make a model dependent…

The decay mode $B_s\to\psi \overline{K}^*$ is suggested as a very good way to measure the $B_s$ mixing parameter $x_s$. These decays can be gathered using a $\psi\to\ell^+\ell^-$ trigger. This final state has a well resolved four track…
The widths of a class of two-body $\bar{B}_s^0 $ decays induced by $b \to c \bar u d$ and $b \to c \bar u s$ transitions are determined in a model-independent way, using $SU(3)_F$ symmetry and existing information on $\bar B \to D_{(s)} P$…
We propose novel methods to determine the $\Upsilon(4S)\to B^+B^-$ and $\Upsilon(4S)\to B^0\bar B^0$ decay rates. The precision to which they and their ratio are known yields at present a limiting uncertainty around $2\%$ in measurements of…
