A Search for B+ -> tau+ nu

The BABAR Collaboration, B. Aubert

We present a search for the decay B+ -> tau+ nu using 383x10^6 BBbar pairs collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II B-Factory. A sample of events…

Searches for B0 decays to eta K0, eta eta, eta' eta', eta phi, and eta' phi

The BaBar Collaboration, B. Aubert

We search for B0 meson decays into two-body combinations of K0, eta, eta', and phi mesons in 324 million B Bbar pairs collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-ene…

Review of New Rare Hadronic B-decay Results

James G. Smith

We present a new result from Belle and many new results from BABAR for rare hadronic B decays. These include measurements of decays involving baryons, a Dalitz plot analysis of the…

Direct CP Violation Searches in Charmless Hadronic B Meson Decays

The BABAR Collaboration, B. Aubert

We search for direct CP violation in charmless hadronic B decays observed in a sample of about 22.7 million $B B ˉ$ pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmet…

A Search for $B \to τ ν$

T. E. Browder, CLEO Collaboration

We report results of a search for $B \to τ ν$ in a sample of 9.7 million charged $B$ meson decays. The search uses both $π ν$ and $ℓ ν ν ˉ$ decay modes of the $τ$ , and demands exclu…

Determination of the Phase of Vub from Charmless Hadronic B Decay Rates

Wei-Shu Hou, James G. Smith, Frank Würthwein

We perform a model dependent fit to recent data on charmless hadronic B decays and determine $γ$ , the phase of $V_{u b}^{*}$ . We find $γ = 11 4_{- 21}^{+ 25}$ degrees, which disfavors the…

Limit on Tau Neutrino Mass from $τ^{-} \to π^{-} π^{+} π^{-} π^{0} ν_{τ}$

M. Athanas

From a data sample of 29058 $τ^{\pm} \to π^{\pm} π^{+} π^{-} π^{0} ν_{τ}$ decays observed in the CLEO detector we derive a 95% confidence upper limit on the tau neutrino mass of 28 MeV.

Measurement of $B \to ρ ℓ ν$ Decay and $∣ V_{u b} ∣$

B. H. Behrens

Using a sample of 3.3 million Upsilon(4S) -> BBbar events collected with the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR), we measure the branching fraction for B -…

Hadronic Structure in the Decay $τ^{-} \to ν_{τ} π^{-} π^{0} π^{0}$ and the Sign of the Tau Neutrino Helicity

D. Asner

Based on a sample corresponding to 4.3 million produced tau-pair events, we have studied hadronic dynamics in the decay tau- --> nu_tau pi- pi0 pi0 in data recorded by the CLEO II…

Penguin decays of B mesons

Karen Lingel, Tomasz Skwarnicki, James G. Smith

Penguin, or loop, decays of B mesons induce effective flavor-changing neutral currents, which are forbidden at tree level in the Standard Model. These decays give special insight i…
