I present highlights of recent CLEO results on the hadronic decay modes of the B meson. Topics covered include two body rare B decays modes, a new measurement of $(B^0 \to D^0 K^+) / (B^0 \to D^0 \pi^+)$, an in depth study of the decay $B^0…
I present recent CLEO measurements of inclusive semileptonic B decay spectra and the branching fraction. I also report preliminary results from a combined fit to spectral moments, which are compared to expectations in the Heavy Quark…
We present preliminary results from the CLEO-II collaboration on a variety of hadronic final states of mesons containing heavy quarks. In particular, the pattern of 2-body \B\ decays is now decisively different that that of \D\ and \K\…
Based on the CLEO II and II.5 data sets CLEO has observed several new rare and hadronic B decays and also updated the b->s+gamma measurement.
We review the current status of experimental measurements of the branching fractions for exclusive semileptonic decays of B mesons to charmless hadrons and the determination of the Standard Model CKM parameter |Vub| from these measurements.
Strong interactions are addressed in connection to extracting |V_{cb}| and determining heavy quark parameters. A comprehensive approach allows a robust analysis not relying on a 1/m_c expansion; a percent defendable accuracy in |V_{cb}|…
Major new experimental efforts on detecting CP violation in $B$ decays will very soon go on the air. Recent developments suggest that final state interaction phases in exclusive decays of $B$ are unlikely to be small indicating the…
Hadrons containing b-quarks represent a great opportunity to investigate the flavor sector of the Standard Model (SM) and to look for New Physics effects (NP). In this report we review the most up-to-date results on b-hadron decay rates and…
Moments of the hadronic invariant mass and of the lepton energy spectra in semileptonic B decays have been determined with the data recorded by the DELPHI detector at LEP. From measurements of the inclusive b-hadron semileptonic decays, and…
I report results from the CLEO collaboration on semileptonic B decays, highlighting measurements of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements |Vub| and |Vcb|. I describe the techniques used to obtain the recent improvements in precision…
The e-e+ collider LEP, running at sqrt{s} = m(Z0), has been a copious source of b-hadrons produced in decays Z0 -> b \b. We present recent studies using up to 4*10^6 hadronic Z0 decays acquired by the DELPHI detector between 1992 and 2000.…
There has been much progress in measurements of charmless hadronic B decays during 1997. Building on the previous indications from CLEO and LEP, CLEO now has clear signals in five exclusive final states: K^+\pi^, K^0\pi^+, etapr K^+, etapr…
The semileptonic decay B->pi is studied starting from a simple quark model that takes into account the effect of the B* resonance. A novel, multiply subtracted, Omnes dispersion relation has been implemented to extend the predictions of the…
We present a systematic analysis of the angular distribution of Bbar -> Kbar^\ast (-> Kbar pi) l^+ l^- decays with l = e, mu in the low recoil region (i.e. at high dilepton invariant masses of the order of the mass of the b-quark) to…
Our Vcb extraction is based on recent Belle results, with unfolded kinematical dependence. We use two different parameterizations of the form factors, the CLN and BGL parameterizations. We discuss how the known discrepancy between the…
A systematic experimental search for two-body hadronic decays of the b-quark of the type b to quark + meson is proposed. These reactions have a well defined experimental signature and they should be theoretically cleaner compared to…
B meson semileptonic decays are a crucial tool in our studies of the quark mixing parameters Vcb and Vub. The interplay between experimental and theoretical challenges to achieve precision in the determination of these fundamental…
We review the highlights of quark mixing, particle-antiparticle mixing, CP violation and rare K- and B-decays in the Standard Model. The top quark discovery, the precise measurement of its mass, the improved knowledge of the couplings…
Rare b decays provide a unique opportunity to measure Standard Model parameters and probe beyond the Standard Model. We review here the experimentalprogress made in measuring these decays, and the importance of future measurements,…
The measurements of rare leptonic and semi-leptonic B decays performed at the LHC, not showing any significant deviations from the Standard Model expectations, put strong constraints on new physics. A brief account of the impact of recent…
