Latest results from the combined data of the four LEP experiments ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL on Higgs boson searches in extensions of the Standard Model (SM) are presented.
We derive mass formulas for the $P$-wave orbitally excited $D^*_{0(s)}$, $D^\prime_{1(s)}$, $D_{1(s)}$, and $D^*_{2(s)}$ heavy charmed mesons including all effects from one-loop corrections that contribute at leading order in chiral…
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…
In this paper we report on the legacy of Higgs boson searches at LEP. Specifically, the results of the statistical combination of the searches carried out by the ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL experiments are presented. In the search for the…
The four LEP experiments, ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL, have searched for Higgs bosons predicted by a large number of extensions of the Standard Model. Flavor independent searches are presented for the h$^{0}$Z$^{0}$ process in which the…
In the last decade, the LEP and SLD experiments played a central role in the study of B hadrons (hadrons containing a b quark). New B hadrons have been observed ($B^0_s$, \Lambda_b$, $\Xi_b$ and $B^{**}$) and their production and decay…
The shape of the lepton spectrum in inclusive semileptonic $B\to X\,\ell\,\bar\nu_\ell$ decay is sensitive to matrix elements of the heavy quark effective theory, $\bar\Lambda$ and $\lambda_1$. From CLEO data we extract…
In this article, we tentatively identify the charmed mesons $D_J(2580)$, $D_J^*(2650)$, $D_J(2740)$, $D^*_J(2760)$, $D_J(3000)$, $D_J^*(3000)$ observed by the LHCb collaboration according to their spin, parity and masses, then study their…
Applications of HQET and NRQCD to fragmentation are briefly reviewed. The special role of the b-quark in applications of heavy quark symmetry is discussed. Predictions of HQET for semileptonic B decays to excited charmed mesons are…
Using 4.7 fb^-1 of data taken at CESR at energies at and near the Upsilon(4S) we have studied the decay B- -> D{*+}pi-pi- (and its conjugate). We observe a new, broad charmed meson state, which we interpret as D_J(j=1/2), in its decay to…
The LEP experiments completed data-taking in November 2000. New preliminary combined results of the four LEP experiments ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL are presented for various Higgs boson searches.
A survey of the experimental, phenomenological, and theoretical status of the new heavy mesons is presented. States discussed are the $B_c$, $h_c$, $\eta_c'$, $D_s(2317)$, $D_s(2460)$, X(3872), X(3940), Y(3940), Z(3930), and Y(4260). Quark…
We report on a non-perturbative determination of the parameters of the lattice Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET) Lagrangian and of the time component of the heavy-light axial-vector current with Nf=2 flavors of massless dynamical quarks.…
Inspired from the experimental information coming from LHC [2,3] and Babar [4] for radially higher excited charmed mesons, we predict the masses and decays of the n=2 S-wave and P- wave bottom mesons using the effective lagrangian approach.…
Selected recent ZEUS and H1 results on open charm and beauty production in high energy ep collisions are reviewed. Measurements of differential D* cross sections, charm meson production ratios and semi-leptonic beauty decays are discussed…
This paper summarizes a variety of recent results on heavy quark production and decay. Considerable progress has been made by CDF and D0 in measuring top quark production and decay properties. The top quark mass been measured with an…
The CLEO Collaboration has extracted improved values of |V_cb| and |V_ub| from measurements of exclusive and inclusive decays of B mesons. The measurement of B -> D* ell nu at zero recoil combined with the predicted form factor F_D*(w_min)…
We report on dilepton measurements for central Pb on Au collisions at the top CERN SPS energy with the upgraded CERES experiment. The dilepton mass spectrum of 2000 data with improved mass resolution shows an enhancement over the…
I review recent QCD results from LEP. The emphasis is on results that represent new studies and on puzzling disagreements of theory and experiment. Further results are nevertheless mentioned by reference. The new studies discussed in more…
Following the discovery of the $D^*_2(3000)$, its mass and full width have been extensively studied. Yet its nature remains undetermined to date. Since it was discovered through nonleptonic decay of $B$ meson and the corresponding cascade…
