We estimate the decay width difference $\Delta Gamma_d / \Gamma_d$ in the $B_d$ system including $1/m_b$ contributions and next-to-leading order QCD corrections, and find it to be around 0.3%. We explicitly show that the time measurements…

We compute the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the off-diagonal elements of the decay-width matrix Gamma entering the neutral B-meson oscillations. From this calculation the width differences DeltaGamma and the CP violation…

The present status of the theoretical estimates of the difference between the widths of the neutral Bs-mesons and of the B-meson lifetime ratios is reviewed. In particular, the lattice results for the matrix elements of the relevant (delta…

We estimate \Delta Gamma_d/\Gamma_d, including 1/m_b contributions and part of the next-to-leading order QCD corrections, and find it to be around 0.3%. We show the methods to measure \Delta Gamma_d/\Gamma_d by using at least two different…

Recently, it was proposed to use measurements of Bd(t) -> D(*)+ D(*)- and Bd -> Ds(*)+ D(*)- decays to measure the CP phase gamma. In this paper, we present the extraction of gamma using this method. We find that gamma is favored to lie in…

We analyze the possibility of having new physics effects in the decay rate difference, $\Delta \Gamma_d$, of neutral $B_d$ mesons. Three different sources of enhancement are considered, CKM unitarity violations, beyond standard model…

I summarize the observables constraining the B_s-B_s-bar mixing complex and present a new calculation of the element Gamma_{12}^s of the decay matrix. Gamma_{12}^s enters the prediction of the width difference Delta Gamma_s, for which we…

We have observed a signal for the decay D*+ -> D+ gamma at a significance of 4 standard deviations. From the measured branching ratio B(D*+ -> D+ gamma)/B(D*+ -> D+ pi0)=0.055 +- 0.014 +- 0.010 we find B(D*+ -> D+ gamma)= 0.017 +- 0.004 +-…

The lifetime difference ($y_D=\Delta\Gamma_D/2\Gamma_D$) and mass difference ($x_D=\Delta m_D/\Gamma_D$) of neutral $D$ meson have been measured with $y_D=(0.80\pm 0.13)%$ and $x_D=(0.59 \pm 0.20)%$, respectively. Intriguingly, in contrast…

Using events in which one of two neutral B mesons from the decay of an Y(4S) meson is fully reconstructed, we determine parameters governing decay (\Delta\Gamma_d/\Gamma_d), CP and T violation (|q/p|), and CP and CPT violation (Rez,Imz).…

We present a study of the decay B_s^0 -> J/psi phi We obtain the CP-odd fraction in the final state at time zero, R_perp = 0.16 +/- 0.10 (stat) +/- 0.02 (syst), the average lifetime of the (B_s, B_sbar) system, tau (B_s^0)…

We present upgraded theoretical predictions for inclusive and exclusive radiative decays of {\it B} mesons. Our results include those next-to-leading order corrections that have already been computed. Our best estimates in the Standard…

We give an update on the lifetime difference of $B_s$ mesons which accounts for recent lattice bag parameter results, and obtain $(\Delta\Gamma/\Gamma)_{B_s}=(9.3^{+3.4}_{-4.6})%$. We then review the current theoretical uncertainties and…

The D^0 mixing parameter y = Delta Gamma/2 Gamma was determined by measuring the D^0 lifetime separately for the K^-pi^+ decay mode and the K^-K^+ decay mode with 12.4 fb^{-1} of data collected by the BABAR experiment in 2001. Backgrounds…

The Belle and Babar experiments have measured the branching fractions for B+ -> tau+ nu and Ds+ -> mu+ nu decays. From these measurements one can extract the B+ and Ds+ decay constants, which can be compared to lattice QCD calculations. For…

We have made the first observation of Bs->Ds(*)+Ds(*)- decays using 23.6 fb-1 of data recorded by the Belle experiment running on the Upsilon(5S) resonance. The branching fractions are measured to be B(B^0_s\ra D^+_s D^-_s) =…

We measure the mean lifetime, tau=2/(Gamma_L+Gamma_H), and the width difference, DeltaGamma=Gamma_L-Gamma_H, of the light and heavy mass eigenstates of the B0s meson, B0sL and B0sH, in B0s -> J/psi phi decays using 1.7 fb^-1 of data…

Using events in which one of two neutral-B mesons from the decay of an Y(4S) resonance is fully reconstructed, we set limits on the difference between the decay rates of the two neutral-B mass eigenstates and on CP, T, and CPT violation in…

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…

The enhancement $\Delta \Gamma (\Lambda_b)$ of the $\Lambda_b$ decay rate due to four-fermion processes of weak scattering and Pauli interference is calculated within the quark model. An estimate of the relative $bu$ wave function at zero…
