The e^+e^- annihilation data recorded with the BABAR detector has been used to study B decays to D_s^(*) and D^* mesons. The production fraction of inclusive D_s^(*) and the corresponding momentum spectra have been determined. Exclusive…

A search for the decay Bs -> D*-+ \pi+- is presented using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb-1 of pp collisions collected by LHCb. This decay is expected to be mediated by a W-exchange diagram, with little…

The first observation of the decay Bs -> D0bar K- {\pi}+ is reported. The analysis is based on a data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb-1 of pp collisions, collected with the LHCb detector. The branching fraction…

Searches of new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) performed at low energy frontiers are complementary to experiments carried out at high energy colliders. Among the methods for testing the SM and beyond at low energies are the…

Searches are presented for $B_{c}^{+} \to D h^+ h^-$ decays, where $D$ is a charmed meson and $h^{\pm}$ is a charged pion or kaon, using $pp$ collision data collected by the LHCb experiment corresponding to an integrated luminosity of…

We have just entered an era of precision measurements for $B_s$-decay observables. A characteristic feature of the $B_s$-meson system is $B^0_s$--$\bar B^0_s$ mixing, which exhibits a sizable decay width difference. The latter feature leads…

First observations of the $B^0_s \rightarrow \psi(2S) \eta$, $B^0 \rightarrow \psi(2S) \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $B^0_s \rightarrow \psi(2S) \pi^+ \pi^-$ decays are made using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0~$fb^{-1}$…

A study of $B^{0}_{s} \to \eta_{c} \phi$ and $B^{0}_{s} \to \eta_{c} \pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ decays is performed using $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0$\,\rm fb^{-1}$, collected with the LHCb detector in Run~1 of…

I report the analysis of B-->h+h'- decays (where h and h' denote K or pi), in 180 pb-1 of proton-antiproton collisions at s**0.5= 1.96 TeV, with the CDF II detector at the Tevatron Collider. A B-->h+h'- signal was reconstructed at a hadron…

Decays of the kind $B^0_{s,d}\to\ell^+\ell^-$ belong to the most favourable processes for probing the flavour structure of the Standard Model, with outstanding sensitivity to new (pseudo)-scalar contributions. While the branching ratio of…

A study of $B_c^+\to K^+K^-\pi^+$ decays is performed for the first time using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 $\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb experiment in $pp$ collisions at centre-of-mass energies of $7$…

Relative branching fractions of Bd,Bs --> h+ h'- decays (where h,h'= K or pi) and direct CP asymmetry in Bd --> K+ pi- have been measured with 180 pb-1 of data collected by the CDFII detector at the Tevatron collider. This includes the…

For identification and 3D-tracking of low-energy electrons a new type of gas-based detector was designed that minimizes scattering and energy loss. The current version of the detector is a combination of a plastic scintillator, serving as a…

Evidence for the decays $B^{0}\rightarrow\bar{D}^{0}\phi$ and $B^{0} \rightarrow \bar{D}^{*0}\phi$ is reported with a significance of 3.6$\,\sigma$ and 4.3$\,\sigma$, respectively. The analysis employs $pp$ collision data at centre-of-mass…

A search for the decays $B^0_s\to e^+e^-$ and $B^0\to e^+e^-$ is performed using data collected with the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of $7$, $8$ and $13\,\text{TeV}$, corresponding to integrated…

Using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$, recorded by the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, the $B_{c}^{+} \rightarrow D^{0} K^{+}$ decay is observed with a…

We report recent measurements from LHCb on $B_{(s)}\to D_{(s)}h(h)(h)$ decays using $\sim$35 pb$^{-1}$ of data collected in 2010. In brief, we measure the following ratios of branching fractions: B(B^0-bar --> D^+K^-) / B(B0-bar --> D^+…

Recent studies of properties and decays of the $B_c^+$ meson by the LHC experiments are presented. Mass and lifetime measurements are discussed and some of the many new observed decays are reported.

A new data-driven method, using $Z \rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^-$ decays, is proposed to correct for charge-dependent curvature biases in spectrometer experiments at hadron colliders. The method is studied assuming a detector with a…

This paper adapts a popular image quality measure called structural similarity for high precision registration based tracking while also introducing a simpler and faster variant of the same. Further, these are evaluated comprehensively…
