A golden age for heavy-quarkonium physics dawned a decade ago, initiated by the
confluence of exciting advances in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and an explosion of …

Recent measurements of b-hadron decays show a pattern of consistent tensions with the
respective Standard Model (SM) predictions. These tensions appear both in the sector of …

The inspiration for this book came from François le Diberder. During his term as
spokesperson for B 八 B 八 R he laid down a vision for the two B Factory detector …

We present a general analysis of extensions of the Standard Model which satisfy the
criterion of Minimal Flavour Violation (MFV). We define this general framework by …

We study initial-state radiation events, e+ e-→ γ ISR π+ π-J/ψ, with data collected with the
BABAR detector. We observe an accumulation of events near 4.26 GeV/c 2 in the invariant …

There exist many experimental indications that final-state interactions (FSIs) may play a
prominent role not only in charmful B decays but also in charmless B ones. We examine the …

We observe a narrow enhancement near 2 mp in the invariant mass spectrum of pp¯ pairs
from radiative J/ψ→ γ pp¯ decays. No similar structure is seen in J/ψ→ π 0 pp¯ decays. The …

We report a measurement of the exclusive e+ e-→ Λ c+ Λ c-cross section as a function of
center-of-mass energy near the Λ c+ Λ c-threshold. A clear peak with a significance of 8.2 σ …

We consider the consequences of a neutral dark-matter particle with a nonzero electric
and/or magnetic dipole moment. Theoretical constraints, as well as constraints from direct …

We study e+ e-→ J/ψ cc¯ by measuring the invariant mass distribution recoiling against fully
reconstructed J/ψ decays, using 124 fb-1 of data collected at a center-of-mass energy of …
