The results of a search for hydrogen-like atoms consisting of $pi^{mp}K^{pm}$ mesons are presented. Evidence for $pi K$ atom production by 24 GeV/c protons from CERN PS interacting with a nickel target has been seen in terms of characteristic $pi K$ pairs from their breakup in the same target ($178 pm 49$) and from Coulomb final state interaction ($653 pm 42$). Using these results the analysis yields a first value for the $pi K$ atom lifetime of $tau=(2.5_{-1.8}^{+3.0})$ fs and a first model-independent measurement of the S-wave isospin-odd $pi K$ scattering length $left|a_0^-right|=frac{1}{3}left|a_{1/2}-a_{3/2}right|= left(0.11_{-0.04}^{+0.09} right)M_{pi}^{-1}$ ($a_I$ for isospin $I$).

After having announced the statistically significant observation (5.6~$sigma$) of the new exotic $pi K$ atom, the DIRAC experiment at the CERN proton synchrotron presents the measurement of the corresponding atom lifetime, based on the full $pi K$ da
ta sample: $tau = (5.5^{+5.0}_{-2.8}) cdot 10^{-15}s$. By means of a precise relation ($<1%$) between atom lifetime and scattering length, the following value for the S-wave isospin-odd $pi K$ scattering length $a_0^{-}~=~frac{1}{3}(a_{1/2}-a_{3/2})$ has been derived: $left|a_0^-right| = (0.072^{+0.031}_{-0.020}) M_{pi}^{-1}$.
The adapted DIRAC experiment at the CERN PS accelerator observed for the first time long-lived hydrogen-like $pi^+pi^-$ atoms, produced by protons hitting a beryllium target. A part of these atoms crossed the gap of 96~mm and got broken up in the 2.1
~textmu{}m thick platinum foil. Analysing the observed number of atomic pairs, $n_A^L= left.436^{+157}_{-61}right|_mathrm{tot}$, the lifetime of the 2$p$ state is found to be ${tau_{2p}=(left.0.45^{+1.08}_{-0.30}right|_mathrm{tot}) cdot10^{-11}}$s, not contradicting the corresponding QED $2p$ state lifetime ${tau_{2p}^mathrm{QED}=1.17 cdot 10^{-11}}$s. This lifetime value is three orders of magnitude larger than our previously measured value of the $pi^+pi^-$ atom ground state lifetime $tau=(left.3.15^{+0.28}_{-0.26}right|_mathrm{tot})cdot 10^{-15}$s. Further studies of long-lived $pi^+pi^-$ atoms will allow to measure energy differences between $p$ and $s$ atomic states and so to determine $pipi$ scattering lengths with the aim to check QCD predictions.
We present updated measurements of branching fractions and CP-violating asymmetries for neutral B meson decays to two-body final states of charged pions and kaons. The results are obtained from a data sample of about 60 million Y(4S) --> B-anti-B dec
ays collected between 1999 and 2001 by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. The sample contains 124^{+16}_{-15} pi-pi, 403+/-24 K-pi, and 0.6^{+8.0}_{-7.4} K-K candidates, from which we measure the following quantities: BF(B0 --> pi+pi-) = (5.4+/-0.7+/-0.4) x 10^{-6}, BF(B0 --> K+pi-) = (17.8+/-1.1+/-0.8) x 10^{-6}, BF(B0 --> K+K-) < 1.1 x 10^{-6} (90% C.L.} A_Kpi = -0.05+/-0.06+/-0.01 [-0.14,+0.05], S_pipi = -0.01+/-0.37+/-0.07 [-0.66,+0.62], C_pipi = -0.02+/-0.29+/-0.07 [-0.54,+0.48], where the errors are statistical and systematic, respectively, and the asymmetry limits correspond to the 90% confidence level. These results are preliminary.
First observations of the Cabibbo suppressed decays B0bar -->D+ K- pi+ pi- and B- --> D0 K- pi+ pi- are reported using 35 pb^{-1} of data collected with the LHCb detector. Their branching fractions are measured with respect to the corresponding Cabib
bo favored decays, from which we obtain B(B0bar --> D+ K- pi+ pi-)/B(B0bar --> D+ pi- pi+ pi-)=(5.9pm1.1pm0.5) x 10^{-2} and B(B- --> D0 K- pi+ pi-)/B(B- --> D0 pi- pi+ pi-)=(9.4pm1.3pm0.9) x 10^{-2}, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. The B- --> D0 K- pi+ pi- decay is particularly interesting, as it can be used in a similar way to B- --> D0 K- to measure the CKM phase gamma.
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-m
ass 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 $DeltaGamma_{s}$.
