Using 580 pb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ annihilation data taken with the CLEO--c detector at $psi(3770)$, the decay $D^0(overline{D}^0)to K^pmpi^mp pi^+pi^-$ has been studied to make the highest precision measurement of $D^0$ mass, $M(D^0)=1864.845pm0.025pm0.022pm0.053$ MeV, where the first error is statistical, the second error is systematic, and the third error is due to uncertainty in kaon masses. As an intermediate step of the present investigation the mass of the $K_S$ meson has been measured to be $M(K_S)=497.607pm0.007pm0.015$ MeV. Both $M(D^0)$ and $M(K_S)$ are the most precise single measurements of the masses of these mesons.

A measurement of the branching fraction of the decay $B_s^0 to K_S^0 K_S^0$ is performed using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5 $fb^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb experiment between 2011 and 2016. The branching fraction is determined to be BR($B_s^0 to K_S^0 K_S^0$) = [8.3 $pm$ 1.6 (stat) $pm$ 0.9 (syst) $pm$ 0.8 (norm) $pm$ 0.3 ($f_s/f_d$)] $times 10^{-6}$ , where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third and fourth are due to uncertainties on the branching fraction of the normalization mode $B^0 to phi K_S^0$ and the ratio of hadronization fractions $f_s/f_d$. This is the most precise measurement of this branching fraction to date. Furthermore, a measurement of the branching fraction of the decay $B^0 to K_S^0 K_S^0$ is performed relative to that of the $B_s^0 to K_S^0 K_S^0$ channel, and is found to be $frac{BR(B^0 to K_S^0 K_S^0)}{BR(B_s^0 to K_S^0 K_S^0)}$ = [7.5 $pm$ 3.1 (stat) $pm$ 0.5 (syst) $pm$ 0.3 ($f_s/f_d$)] $times 10^{-2}$.
The first measurements of the coherence factor R_{K_S^0Kpi} and the average strong--phase difference delta^{K_S^0Kpi} in D^0 to K_S^0 K^mppi^pm decays are reported. These parameters can be used to improve the determination of the unitary triangle ang le gamma in B^- rightarrow $widetilde{D}K^-$ decays, where $widetilde{D}$ is either a D^0 or a D^0-bar meson decaying to the same final state, and also in studies of charm mixing. The measurements of the coherence factor and strong-phase difference are made using quantum-correlated, fully-reconstructed D^0D^0-bar pairs produced in e^+e^- collisions at the psi(3770) resonance. The measured values are R_{K_S^0Kpi} = 0.70 pm 0.08 and delta^{K_S^0Kpi} = (0.1 pm 15.7)$^circ$ for an unrestricted kinematic region and R_{K*K} = 0.94 pm 0.12 and delta^{K*K} = (-16.6 pm 18.4)$^circ$ for a region where the combined K_S^0 pi^pm invariant mass is within 100 MeV/c^2 of the K^{*}(892)^pm mass. These results indicate a significant level of coherence in the decay. In addition, isobar models are presented for the two decays, which show the dominance of the K^*(892)^pm resonance. The branching ratio {B}(D^0 rightarrow K_S^0K^+pi^-)/{B}(D^0 rightarrow K_S^0K^-pi^+) is determined to be 0.592 pm 0.044 (stat.) pm 0.018 (syst.), which is more precise than previous measurements.
Based on an $e^{+}e^{-}$ collision data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.93 $mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ collected with the BESIII detector at $sqrt{s}=3.773 mathrm{GeV}$, the first amplitude analysis of the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decay $D^{+}to K^+ K_S^0 pi^0$ is performed. From the amplitude analysis, the $K^*(892)^+ K_S^0$ component is found to be dominant with a fraction of $(57.1pm2.6pm4.2)%$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. In combination with the absolute branching fraction $mathcal{B}(D^+to K^+ K_S^0 pi^0)$ measured by BESIII, we obtain $mathcal{B}(D^+to K^*(892)^+ K_S^0)=(8.69pm0.40pm0.64pm0.51)times10^{-3}$, where the third uncertainty is due to the branching fraction $mathcal{B}(D^+to K^+ K_S^0 pi^0)$. The precision of this result is significantly improved compared to the previous measurement.
Using 482 pb$^{-1}$ of data taken at $sqrt{s}=4.009$ GeV, we measure the branching fractions of the decays of $D^{*0}$ into $D^0pi^0$ and $D^0gamma$ to be $BR(D^{*0} to D^0pi^0)=(65.5pm 0.8pm 0.5)%$ and $BR(D^{*0} to D^0gamma)=(34.5pm 0.8pm 0.5)%$ re spectively, by assuming that the $D^{*0}$ decays only into these two modes. The ratio of the two branching fractions is $BR(D^{*0} to D^0pi^0)/BR(D^{*0} to D^0gamma) =1.90pm 0.07pm 0.05$, which is independent of the assumption made above. The first uncertainties are statistical and the second ones systematic. The precision is improved by a factor of three compared to the present world average values.
This paper reports the first measurement of the effective B_s^0 -> J/{psi} K_S^0 lifetime and an updated measurement of its time-integrated branching fraction. Both measurements are performed with a data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminos ity of 1.0 fb^{-1} of pp collisions, recorded by the LHCb experiment in 2011 at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The results are: tau_J/{psi}K_S^0 = 1.75 +/- 0.12 (stat) +/- 0.07 (syst) and BR(B_s^0 -> J/{psi} K_S^0) = (1.97 +/- 0.23) X 10^{-5}. For the latter measurement, the uncertainty includes both statistical and systematic sources.
