A search for mixing in the neutral D meson system has been performed using semileptonic D0 -> K(*)- e+ u and D0 -> K(*)- mu+ u decays. Neutral D mesons from D*+ -> D0 pi_s^+ decays are used and the flavor at production is tagged by the charge of the slow pion. The measurement is performed using 492 fb^-1 of data recorded by the Belle detector. From the yield of right-sign and wrong-sign decays arising from non-mixed and mixed events, respectively, we measure the ratio of the time-integrated mixing rate to the unmixed rate to be R_M = (1.3 +- 2.2 +- 2.0) x 10^-4. This corresponds to an upper limit of R_M < 6.1 x 10^-4 at the 90% C.L.

We report the result from the first search for $D^0$ decays to invisible final states. The analysis is performed on a data sample of 924 $rm{fb}^{-1}$ collected at and near the $Upsilon(4S)$ and $Upsilon(5S)$ resonances with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider. The absolute branching fraction is determined using an inclusive $D^0$ sample, obtained by fully reconstructing the rest of the particle system including the other charmed particle. No significant signal yield is observed and an upper limit of $9.4times 10^{-5}$ is set on the branching fraction of $D^0$ to invisible final states at 90% confidence level.
We present the results of a search for the rare decays $Bto h uoverline{ u}$, where $h$ stands for $K^+,:K^0_{mathrm{S}},:K^{ast +},:K^{ast 0},:pi^+,:pi^0,:rho^+$ and $rho^{0}$. The results are obtained with $772times10^{6}$ $Boverline{B}$ pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+ e^-$ collider. We reconstruct one $B$ meson in a semileptonic decay and require a single $h$ meson but nothing else on the signal side. We observe no significant signal and set upper limits on the branching fractions. The limits set on the $Bto K^0_{mathrm{S}} uoverline{ u}$, $B^0to K^{*0} uoverline{ u}$, $Bto pi^+ uoverline{ u}$, $B^0topi^0 uoverline{ u}$, $B^+torho^+ uoverline{ u}$, and $B^0torho^0 uoverline{ u}$ channels are the worlds most stringent.
We report a measurement of ${D^{0}}$-${overline{D}{}^{0}}$ mixing parameters and a search for indirect $CP$ violation through a time-dependent amplitude analysis of ${D^0to K_S^0pi^+pi^-}$ decays. The results are based on 921~fb$^{-1}$ of data accumulated with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. Assuming $CP$ conservation, we measure the mixing parameters $x=(0.56pm0.19^{+0.03}_{-0.09}{^{+0.06}_{-0.09}})%$ and $y=(0.30pm0.15^{+0.04}_{-0.05}{^{+0.03}_{-0.06})}%$, where the errors are statistical, experimental systematic, and systematic due to the amplitude model, respectively. With $CP$ violation allowed, the parameters $|q/p|=0.90^{+0.16}_{-0.15}{^{+0.05}_{-0.04}}{^{+0.06}_{-0.05}}$ and $arg(q/p)=(-6pm11{pm3}{^{+3}_{-4}})^{circ}$ are found to be consistent with conservation of $CP$ symmetry in mixing and in the interference between mixing and decay, respectively.

We have searched for neutrinoless $tau$ lepton decays into $ell$ and $V^0$, where $ell$ stands for an electron or muon, and $V^0$ for a vector meson ($phi$, $omega$, $K^{*0}$, $bar{K}^{*0}$ or $rho^0$), using 543 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. No excess of signal events over the expected background has been observed, and we set upper limits on the branching fractions in the range $(5.9-18) times 10^{-8}$ at the 90% confidence level. These upper limits include the first results for the $ell omega$ mode as well as new limits that are significantly more restrictive than our previous results for the $ell phi$, $ell K^{*0}$, $ell bar{K}^{*0}$ and $ell rho^0$ modes.
We report a search for $B^{0}$ decays into invisible final states using a data sample of $657 times 10^{6}$ $Bbar{B}$ pairs collected at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider. The signal is identified by fully reconstructing a hadronic decay of the accompanying $B$ meson and requiring no other particles in the event. No significant signal is observed, and we obtain an upper limit of $1.3 times 10^{-4}$ at the 90% confidence level for the branching fraction of invisible $B^{0}$ decay.
