Using $(106pm4)times 10^6$ $psip$ events accumulated with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII $e^+e^-$ collider, we present measurements of the branching fractions for psi decays to $K^{+}K^{-}pi^{0}$ and $K^{+}K^{-}eta$. In these final states, the decay $psito K_2^{*}(1430)^+K^-+c.c.$ is observed for the first time, and its branching fraction is measured to be $(7.12pm{0.62}{rm (stat.)}^{+1.13}_{-0.61}{rm (syst.)})times 10^{-5}$, which indicates a violation of the helicity selection rule in $psip$ decays. The branching fractions of $psito K^*(892)^+K^-+c.c., phieta, phipi^0$ are also measured. The measurements are used to test the QCD predictions on charmonium decays.

Using a data sample corresponding to 13.7 fb^-1 collected with the CLEO II and II.V detectors, we report new branching fraction measurements for two Cabibbo-suppressed decay modes of the D^+ meson: Br(D^+ to pi^+ pi^0) = (1.3 +/- 0.2) x 10^-3 and Br(D^+ to bar{K}^0 K^+) = (5.2 +/- 0.6) x 10^-3 which are significant improvements over past measurements. The errors include statistical and systematical uncertainties as well as the uncertainty in the absolute D^+ branching fraction scale. We also set the first 90% confidence level upper limit on the branching fraction of the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay mode Br(D^+ to K^+ pi^0) < 4.2 x 10^-4.
We study the processes $e^+ e^-to 2(pi^+pi^-)pi^0gamma$, $2(pi^+pi^-)etagamma$, $K^+ K^-pi^+pi^-pi^0gamma$ and $K^+ K^-pi^+pi^-etagamma$ with the hard photon radiated from the initial state. About 20000, 4300, 5500 and 375 fully reconstructed events, respectively, are selected from 232 fb$^{-1}$ of BaBar data. The invariant mass of the hadronic final state defines the effective $e^+ e^-$ center-of-mass energy, so that the obtained cross sections from the threshold to about 5 GeV can be compared with corresponding direct epem measurements, currently available only for the $etapi^+pi^-$ and $omegapi^+pi^-$ submodes of the $e^+ e^-to 2(pi^+pi^-)pi^0$ channel. Studying the structure of these events, we find contributions from a number of intermediate states, and we extract their cross sections where possible. In particular, we isolate the contribution from $e^+ e^-toomega(782)pi^+pi^-$ and study the $omega(1420)$ and $omega(1650)$ resonances. In the charmonium region, we observe the $J/psi$ in all these final states and several intermediate states, as well as the $psi(2S)$ in some modes, and we measure the corresponding branching fractions.
We study the processes $e^+ e^-to K^+ K^- pi^+pi^-gamma$, $K^+K^-pi^0pi^0gamma$ and $K^+ K^- K^+ K^-gamma$, where the photon is radiated from the initial state. About 34600, 4400 and 2300 fully reconstructed events, respectively, are selected from 232 invfb of babar data. The invariant mass of the hadronic final state defines the effective epem center-of-mass energy, so that the $K^+ K^- pi^+pi^-gamma$ data can be compared with direct measurements of the $e^+ e^-to K^+K^- pipi$ reaction; no direct measurements exist for the $e^+ e^-to K^+ K^- pi^0pi^0$ or $epemto K^+ K^- K^+ K^-$ reactions. Studying the structure of these events, we find contributions from a number of intermediate states, and we extract their cross sections where possible. In particular, we isolate the contribution from $e^+ e^-tophi(1020) f_{0}(980)$ and study its structure near threshold. In the charmonium region, we observe the $J/psi$ in all three final states and several intermediate states, as well as the $psi(2S)$ in some modes, and measure the corresponding branching fractions. We see no signal for the Y(4260) and obtain an upper limit of $BR_{Y(4260)tophipi^+pi^-}cdotGamma^{Y}_{ee}<0.4 ev$ at 90% C.L.
We report a search for charmless hadronic decays of charged $B$ mesons to the final states $K^{0}_{S} K^{0}_{S} K^{pm}$ and $K^{0}_{S} K^{0}_{S} pi^{pm}$ . The results are based on a $711 {fb}^{-1}$ data sample that contains $772 times 10^6$ $B bar{B}$ pairs, and was collected at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider. For $B^{pm} to K^{0}_{S} K^{0}_{S} K^{pm}$ decays, the measured branching fraction and direct $CP$ asymmetry are $[10.64pm0.49(stat)pm 0.44(syst)]times10^{-6}$ and [$-0.6pm3.9(stat)pm 3.4(syst)$] %, respectively. In the absence of a statistically significant signal for $B^{pm}to K^{0}_{S} K^{0}_{S} pi^{pm}$, we set the 90 % confidence-level upper limit on its branching fraction at $1.14 times 10^{-6}$.
Measurements of the effective lifetimes in the $B_{s}^{0} rightarrow K^{+}K^{-}$, $B^{0} rightarrow K^{+}pi^{-}$ and $B_{s}^{0} rightarrow pi^{+}K^{-}$ decays are presented using $1.0~mathrm{fb^{-1}}$ of $pp$ collision data collected at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV by the LHCb experiment. The analysis uses a data-driven approach to correct for the decay time acceptance. The measured effective lifetimes are $tau_{B_{s}^{0} rightarrow K^{+}K^{-}}$ = $1.407~pm~0.016~pm~0.007~mathrm{ps}$, $tau_{B^{0} rightarrow K^{+}pi^{-}}$ = $1.524~pm~0.011~pm~0.004~mathrm{ps}$, $tau_{B_{s}^{0} rightarrow pi^{+}K^{-}}$ = $1.60~pm~0.06~pm~0.01~mathrm{ps}$. This is the most precise determination to date of the effective lifetime in the $B_{s}^{0} rightarrow K^{+}K^{-}$ decay and provides constraints on contributions from physics beyond the Standard Model to the $B_{s}^{0}$ mixing phase and the width difference $DeltaGamma_{s}$.
