We report a measurement of differential cross section of?π0?pair production in single-tag two-photon collisions. These results are obtained with 759fb?1?of the data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy?e+e?collider. The cross section is measured for?Q2?up to 30 GeV2, where?Q2?is the negative of the invariant mass squared of the tagged virtual photon, in the kinematic range 0.5 GeV |
We report the first observation of the decay?Λ+c→pK+π??using a 980?fb?1?data sample collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy?e+e??collider. This is the first doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay of a charmed baryon to be observed. We measure the branching ratio of this decay with respect to its Cabibbo-favored counterpart to be?B(Λ+c→pK+π?)/B(Λ+c→pK?π+)=(2.35±0.27±0.21)×10?3, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. |

Chobanova, V. and others
We report a measurement of the?B0→ψ(2S)π0?branching fraction based on the full?Υ(4S)?data set of?772×106?BB??pairs collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy?e+e??collider. We obtain?B(B0→ψ(2S)π0)=(1.17±0.17(stat)±0.08(syst))×10?5. The result has a significance of 7.2 standard deviations and is the first observation of the decay?B0→ψ(2S)π0. |

Yuan, Chang-Zheng
We review the results on the XYZ states from the Belle experiment, including the measurement of inclusive hadronic cross sections and exclusive cross sections in e+e- annihilation and the Z_b states in the bottomonium energy region; and the study of the Y states and the Z_c states in charmonium energy region. |
Search for the rare decay $D^0\to\gamma\gamma$ at Belle
Nisar, N. K. and others
We search for the rare radiative decay?D0→γγ?using a data sample with an integrated luminosity of?832fb?1recorded by the Belle detector at the KEKB?e+e??asymmetric-energy collider. We find no statistically significant signal and set an upper limit on the branching fraction of?B(D0→γγ)<8.5×10?7?at?90%?confidence level. This is the most restrictive limit on the decay channel to date. |
Inclusive and exclusive measurements of $B$ decays to $\chi_c1$ and $\chi_c2$ at Belle
Bhardwaj, V. and others
We report inclusive and exclusive measurements for?χc1?and?χc2?production in?B?decays. We measure?B(B→χc1X)=?(3.03±0.05(stat)±0.24(syst))×10?3?and?B(B→χc2X)=?(0.70±0.06(stat)±0.10(syst))×10?3. For the first time,?χc2?production in exclusive?B?decays in the modes?B0→χc2π?K+?and?B+→χc2π+π?K+?has been observed, along with first evidence for the?B+→χc2π+K0S?decay mode. For?χc1?production, we report the first observation in the?B+→χc1π+π?K+,?B0→χc1π+π?K0S?and?B0→χc1π0π?K+?decay modes. Using these decay modes, we observe a difference in the production mechanism of?χc2?in comparison to?χc1?in?B?decays. In addition, we report searches for?X(3872)?and?χc1(2P)?in the?B+→(χc1π+π?)K+?decay mode. The reported results use?772×106?BB?????events collected at the?Υ(4S)?resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy?e+e??collider. |
Observation of the decay $B_s^0\rightarrow K^0\overlineK^0$
Pal, B. and others
We measure the decay?B0s→K0K?????0?using data collected at the?Υ(5S)?resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB?e+e??collider. The data sample used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 121.4?fb?1. We measure a branching fraction?B(B0s→K0K?????0)=[19.6+5.8?5.1(stat.)±1.0(sys.)±2.0(NB0sB????0s)]×10?6?with a significance of 5.1 standard deviations. This measurement constitutes the first observation of this decay. |
We present a determination of the magnitude of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element?|Vcb|?using the decay?B→D?ν??(?=e,μ) based on 711 fb?1?of?e+e?→Υ(4S)?data recorded by the Belle detector and containing?772×106?BB??pairs. One?B?meson in the event is fully reconstructed in a hadronic decay mode while the other, on the signal side, is partially reconstructed from a charged lepton and either a?D+?or?D0?meson in a total of 23 hadronic decay modes. The isospin-averaged branching fraction of the decay?B→D?ν??is found to be?B(B0→D??+ν?)=(2.31±0.03(stat)±0.11(syst))%. Analyzing the differential decay rate as a function of the hadronic recoil with the parameterization of Caprini, Lelouch and Neubert and using the form-factor prediction?G(1)=1.0541±0.0083?calculated by FNAL/MILC, we obtain?ηEW|Vcb|=(40.12±1.34)×10?3, where?ηEW?is the electroweak correction factor. Alternatively, assuming the model-independent form-factor parameterization of Boyd, Grinstein and Lebed and using lattice QCD data from the FNAL/MILC and HPQCD collaborations, we find?ηEW|Vcb|=(41.10±1.14)×10?3. |
We present a measurement of the branching fraction and the longitudinal polarization fraction of B0→ρ+ρ? decays, as well as the time-dependent CP violating parameters in decays into longitudinally polarized ρ+ρ? pairs with Belle's final data set of 772×106 BB? pairs, at the Υ(4S) resonance, collected at the asymmetric-energy e+e? collider KEKB. We obtain B(B0→ρ+ρ?)=(28.3±1.5(stat)±1.5(syst))×10?6, fL=0.988±0.012(stat)±0.023(syst), ACP=0.00±0.10(stat)±0.06(syst), SCP=?0.13±0.15(stat)±0.05(syst). We perform an isospin analysis to constrain the CKM angle ?2 and obtain two solutions with ?2=(93.7±10.6)?, being most compatible with other Standard-Model based fits to the data. |
We report an improved measurement of D0-D0bar mixing and a search for CP violation in D0 decays to CP-even final states K+K- and pi+pi-. The measurement is based on the final Belle data sample of 976/fb. The results are y_CP=(1.11 +- 0.22 +- 0.09)% and A_Gamma=(-0.03 +- 0.20 +- 0.07)%, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. |
