Observation of B ---> D(*) K- K0(*) decays
The B→D (∗) K − K (∗)0 decays have been observed for the first time. The branching fractions of the B→D (∗) K − K (∗)0 decay modes are measured. Significant signals are found for the B→D (∗) K − K ∗0 and B−→D0K−K0S decay modes. The invariant mass and polarization distributions for the K − K ∗0 and K−K0S subsystems have been studied. For the K − K ∗0 sybsystem these distributions agree well with those expected for two-body B→D (∗) a 1 − (1260) decays, with a 1 − (1260)→K − K ∗0 . The analysis was done using 29.4 fb−1 of data collected with the Belle detector at the e+e− asymmetric collider KEKB.

title: Measurement of branching fractions and charge asymmetries for two-body B meson decays with charmonium
abstract: We report branching fractions and charge asymmetries for exclusive decays of charged and neutral B mesons to two-body final states containing a charmonium meson, J/Ψ or Ψ/(2S). This result is based on a 29.4 fb-1 data sample collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric e+e- collider.

title: Search for leptonic decays of D0 mesons
abstract: We search for the flavor-changing neutral current decays D-0 -> mu(+)mu(-) and D-0 -> e(+)e(-), and for the lepton-flavor violating decays D-0 -> e(+/-)mu(-/+) using 660 fb(-1) of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e(+)e(-) collider. We find no evidence for any of these decays. We obtain significantly improved upper limits on the branching fractions: B(D-0 -> mu(+)mu(-)) e(+)e(-)) e(+)mu(-)) + B(D-0 -> mu(+)e(-)) < 2.6 x 10(-7) at 90% confidence level.

title: Observation of large CP violation in the neutral B meson system.
abstract: We present a measurement of the standard model CP violation parameter sin2 phi(1) based on a 29.1 fb(-1) data sample collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e(+)e(-) collider. One neutral B meson is fully reconstructed as a J/psi K(S), psi(2S)K(S), chi(c1)K(S), eta(c)K(S), J/psi K(L), or J/psi K(*0) decay and the flavor of the accompanying B meson is identified from its decay products. From the asymmetry in the distribution of the time intervals between the two B meson decay points, we determine sin2 phi(1) = 0.99+/-0.14(stat)+/-0.06(syst). We conclude that we have observed CP violation in the neutral B meson system.

title: Measurement of day and night neutrino energy spectra at SNO and constraints on neutrino mixing parameters.
abstract: The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) has measured day and night solar neutrino energy spectra and rates. For charged current events, assuming an undistorted 8B spectrum, the night minus day rate is 14.0%+/-6.3%(+1.5%)(-1.4%) of the average rate. If the total flux of active neutrinos is additionally constrained to have no asymmetry, the nu(e) asymmetry is found to be 7.0%+/-4.9%(+1.3%)(-1.2%). A global solar neutrino analysis in terms of matter-enhanced oscillations of two active flavors strongly favors the large mixing angle solution.

title: MARVELS-1: A FACE-ON DOUBLE-LINED BINARY STAR MASQUERADING AS A RESONANT PLANETARY SYSTEM AND CONSIDERATION OF RARE FALSE POSITIVES IN RADIAL VELOCITY PLANET SEARCHES
abstract: We have analyzed new and previously published radial velocity (RV) observations of MARVELS-1, known to have an ostensibly substellar companion in a ~6 day orbit. We find significant (~100 m s–1) residuals to the best-fit model for the companion, and these residuals are naively consistent with an interior giant planet with a P = 1.965 days in a nearly perfect 3:1 period commensurability (|Pb /Pc – 3| < 10–4). We have performed several tests for the reality of such a companion, including a dynamical analysis, a search for photometric variability, and a hunt for contaminating stellar spectra. We find many reasons to be critical of a planetary interpretation, including the fact that most of the three-body dynamical solutions are unstable. We find no evidence for transits, and no evidence of stellar photometric variability. We have discovered two apparent companions to MARVELS-1 with adaptive optics imaging at Keck; both are M dwarfs, one is likely bound, and the other is likely a foreground object. We explore false-alarm scenarios inspired by various curiosities in the data. Ultimately, a line profile and bisector analysis lead us to conclude that the ~100 m s–1 residuals are an artifact of spectral contamination from a stellar companion contributing ~15%-30% of the optical light in the system. We conclude that origin of this contamination is the previously detected RV companion to MARVELS-1, which is not, as previously reported, a brown dwarf, but in fact a G dwarf in a face-on orbit.

title: First search for the flavor changing neutral current decay D0-->gammagamma.
abstract: Using 13.8 fb(-1) of data collected at or just below the Upsilon(4S) with the CLEO detector, we report the result of a search for the flavor changing neutral current process D0-->gammagamma. We observe no significant signal for this decay mode and determine 90% confidence level upper limits on the branching fractions B(D0-->gammagamma)/B(D0-->pi(0)pi(0))<0.033 and B(D0-->gammagamma)<2.9 x 10(-5).

title: Measurement of the muonic branching fractions of the narrow upsilon resonances.
abstract: The decay branching fractions of the three narrow Upsilon resonances to mu(+)mu(-) have been measured by analyzing about 4.3 fb(-1) e(+)e(-) data collected with the CLEO III detector. The branching fraction B(Upsilon(1S)-->mu(+)mu(-))=(2.49+/-0.02+/-0.07)% is consistent with the current world average, but B(Upsilon(2S)-->mu(+)mu(-))=(2.03+/-0.03+/-0.08)% and B(Upsilon(3S)-->mu(+)mu(-))=(2.39+/-0.07+/-0.10)% are significantly larger than prior results. These new muonic branching fractions imply a narrower total decay width for the Upsilon(2S) and Upsilon(3S) resonances and lower other branching fractions that rely on these decays in their determination.

title: The $J/\psi$ production associated with a hard photon and the color octet signature in $e^{+} e^{-}$ annihilation
abstract: $J/\ensuremath{\psi}$ production associated with a hard photon in ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ annihilation, being of a QED nature, is investigated thoroughly in this paper. To show its influence on the observation of the color-octet signature in ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ annihilation via $J/\ensuremath{\psi}$ inclusive production, the cross sections of $J/\ensuremath{\psi}$ production through different mechanisms at various energies are compared quantitatively by presenting them in figures together. The contribution from the production associated with a hard photon to the inclusive production of $J/\ensuremath{\psi}$ is pointed out to be significant at the concerned energies; thus, the influence of it on the observation of the color-octet signature should be dealt with carefully.
