We search for the rare flavor-changing neutral current process $B^- \to \Lambda {\overline p} \nu{\overline{\nu}}$ using data from the BABAR experiment. A total of 424 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected at the center-of-mass…
We report a new measurement of Rb=Gamma(Z -> bb)/ Gamma(Z -> hadrons) using a double tag technique where the b selection is based on topological reconstruction of the mass of the B-decay vertex. The measurement was performed using a sample…
Measurements of $b\to c\tau^-\bar\nu_\tau$ transitions at colliders are highly motivated for testing lepton flavor universality (LFU), a cornerstone hypothesis of the Standard Model (SM). Potential observations of LFU violation could…
We report a new measurement of A_b using data obtained by SLD in 1997-98. This measurement uses a vertex tag technique, where the selection of a b hemisphere is based on the reconstructed mass of the bottom hadron decay vertex. The method…
We review recent results on hadronic B meson decays including rare as well as non-suppressed decays. The main emphasis is on those channels relevant to measurement of CP violation in the coming B factories. After briefly describing…
The CDF and D0 experiments finalize the analysis of their full statistics collected in the $p \bar p$ collisions at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 1.96$ TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. This paper presents several new results…
In the Standard Model, the three charged lepton are identical copies of each other, apart from mass differences. Experimental tests of this feature in decays of semileptonic b hadrons, such as $B\rightarrow D^* \tau\ nu$, are highly…
The latest measurements of the masses and lifetimes of weakly decaying $B$~hadrons from experiments at $e^+e^-$ and $p\bar{p}$ colliders are presented. These measurements include the lifetimes of the $\bar{B}^0$, $\bar{B}^0_s$, $B^-$, and…
The hadro-chemistry of bottom quarks ($b$) produced in hadronic collisions encodes valuable information on the mechanism of color-neutralization in these reactions. Since the $b$-quark mass is much larger than the typical hadronic scale of…
The Fermilab Tevatron Collider is currently the most copious source of b-hadrons, thanks to the large b-bbar production cross-section in 1.96 TeV ppbar collisions. Recent detector upgrades allow for a wide range of CP violation and…
Some aspects of $B$ physics relevant for experiments in hadron colliders are discussed. These include the determination of parameters of the CKM Matrix and confirmation of its role in CP violation, studies of mixing of nonstrange and…
The top quark sector is almost decoupled from lighter quark generations due to the fact that $V_{tb}\approx$~1. The current experimental measurements of $V_{tb}$ are compatible with the Standard Model expectations but are still dominated by…
We present measurements of the inclusive semileptonic branching fractions of charged and neutral B mesons using 20.6 fb-1 of data measured at the Upsilon(4S) with the BABAR detector. Events are tagged with a fully reconstructed hadronic…
In searches for new physics in the energy regime of the LHC, it is becoming increasingly important to distinguish single-jet objects that originate from the merging of the decay products of W bosons produced with high transverse momenta…
The direct searches for Beyond Standard Model (BSM) particles have been constraining their mass scale to the extent where it is now becoming consensual that such particles are likely to be above the energy reach of the LHC. Meanwhile, the…
To evaluate the weak decays of b-hadrons, the $\Delta B=1$ weak effective Lagrangian is the foundation. Any new physics beyond the standard model (SM) would contribute to the effective Lagrangian through the loop integration at the weak…
We study the sensitivity of a down type quark $b^{\prime}$ via process $pp\rightarrow b^{\prime}\bar{b^{\prime}} \rightarrow tW^-\bar{t}W^+$ using jet substructure methods at the LHC with the collision energy $\sqrt{s}=14$ TeV. We consider…
The subject of particle-antiparticle mixing in the neutral B meson systems is reviewed. The formalism of B0-B0bar mixing is recalled and basic Standard Model predictions are given, before experimental issues are discussed and the latest…

The CDF experiment at the Tevatron $p\bar{p}$ collider has pioneered and established the role of hadron collisions in exploring flavor physics through a broad program that is now at its full maturity. We report new results sensitive to…
