B Decay Studies at Cleo

Abstract

Weak decays of heavy flavored hadrons are sensitive probes of several facets of the Standard Model. In particular the experimental study of B meson semileptonic decaysis starting to pin down the quark mixing parameters in the Cabibbo Kobayashi Maskawa matrix. In addition, some features of the non--perturbative regime of the strong interaction are probed by these decays. New results from the CLEO experiment at the CESR electron-positron collider, based on a data sample of up to 3.5 inverse femtobarn, provide crucial information on both of these aspects of heavy flavor phenomenology.
