We report measurements of the branching fractions and CP asymmetries for B^+- -> eta h^+- (h = K or pi) and the observation of the decay B^0 -> eta K^0 from the final data sample of 772x10^6 BBbar pairs collected with the Belle detector at…
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…
The measurement of $\sin {2\beta}$ from $B_d \to J/\psi K_s$ does not resolve the discrete ambiguities in the angle $\beta$. A measurement of $\cos {2\beta}$ is therefore desirable.This talk is about measuring the CKM angle $\beta(\phi_1)$…

We analyzed the nonleptonic decays $B/B_s\to \psi(2S) V $ with $V=(\rho, \omega, K^{*}, \phi)$ by employing the perturbative QCD (PQCD) factorization approach. Here the branching ratios, the $CP$ asymmetries and the complete set of…

We describe a new method for extracting weak, CP-violating phase information, with no hadronic uncertainties, from an angular analysis of B -> V_1 V_2 decays, where V_1 and V_2 are vector mesons. The quantity $\sin^2 (2 \phi_1 + \phi_3)$…

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 investigate the effect of the current measurement of the neutral $B_s$ meson mass difference, $\Delta M_{B_s}$, on SUGRA models which have non-zero values of the soft breaking terms $(m^2_{LL,RR})_{23}$ and $A^{u,d}_{23}$ at the GUT…

We study the implication of the time-dependent CP asymmetry in $B\to\pi^+\pi^-$ decays on the extraction of weak phases taking into account the precise measurement of $\sin 2\beta$, obtained from the ``gold-plated''mode $B\to J/\psi K_S$.…
