Book Description
The purpose of this thesis is threefold: Firstly, new measurements of both the exclusive and semi-inclusive partial decay widths of $B^{0}_{s} \to D^{(*)+}_{s}D^{(*)-}_{s}$ meson decays are presented. Secondly, the feasibility of extracting the unknown polarization components in $B^{0}_{s} \to D^{(*)+}_{s}D^{(*)-}_{s}$ by partial reconstruction of this pseudo-scalar to vector-vector decay in a Monte Carlo driven analysis scheme is studied. Finally, based on the suggestions contributed by the theory community this study discusses how a measurement of the branching fraction of semi-inclusive decays $B^{0}_{s} \to D^{(*)+}_{s}D^{(*)-}_{s}$ can contribute to gain insight about the relative decay width di erence in the B$0\atop{s}$--B$0\atop{s}$ meson system.

Book Description
New measurements of D[sub s][sup+] and D*[sub s][sup+] meson production rates from B decays and from q[bar q] continuum events near the[Upsilon](4S) resonance are presented. Using 20.8 fb[sup -1] of data on the[Upsilon](4S) resonance and 2.6 fb[sup -1] off resonance, we find the inclusive branching fractions[Beta](B[yields] D[sub s][sup+]X)= (10.93[+-] 0.19[+-] 0.58[+-] 2.73)% and[Beta](B[yields] D*[sub s][sup+] X)= (7.9[+-] 0.8[+-] 0.7[+-] 2.0)%, where the first error is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third is due to the D[sub s][sup+][yields][phi][pi][sup+] branching fraction uncertainty. The branching fractions[Sigma][Beta](B[yields] D(*)[sub s][sup+][bar D](*))= (5.07[+-] 0.14[+-] 0.30[+-] 1.27)% and[Sigma][Beta](B[yields] D*[sub s][sup+][bar D](*))= (4.1[+-] 0.2[+-] 0.4[+-] 1.0)% are determined from the D(*)[sub s][sup+] momentum spectra.

Book Description
The variety of phenomena occurring in the world surrounding us always has been stirring up curiosity of men. Based on empirical observations of nature and on experiments becoming more and more complex in the course of time, a variety of models concerning the structure of matter have been conceived. In this analysis Br[Bs→D$+\atop{s}$D$-\atop{s}$] is determined by measuring the relative branching fraction Br[Bs→D$+\atop{s}$D$-\atop{s}$]/Br[B0→D$+\atop{s}$D$-\atop{s}$].

Book Description
A largely model-independent measurement of the inclusive electron momentum spectrum and branching fraction for semileptonic decays of B mesons is presented based on data recorded at the[Upsilon](4S) resonance with the BABAR detector. Backgrounds from secondary charm decays are separated from prompt B decays using charge and angular correlations between the electron from one B meson and a high momentum electron tag from the second B meson. The resulting branching fraction is[Beta](B[yields] Xe[nu])= (10.87[+-] 0.18(stat)[+-] 0.30(syst))%. Based on this measurement we determine the CKM matrix elementV[sub cb].

Book Description
We present a study of Bs0 decays to the CP-odd final state J/[psi] f0(980) with J/[psi] 2!æ+æ- and f0(980) 2![pi]+[pi]-. Using pp̄ collision data with an integrated luminosity of 3.8 fb-1 collected by the CDF II detector at the Tevatron we measure a Bs0 lifetime of [tau](B0s 2!J/[psi] f0(980)) = 1.70-0.11+0.12(stat) " 0.03(syst) ps. This is the first measurement of the Bs0} lifetime in a decay to a CP eigenstate and corresponds in the standard model to the lifetime of the heavy Bs0 eigenstate. We also measure the product of branching fractions of B0s 2!J/[psi] f0(980) and f0(980) 2![pi]+[pi]- relative to the product of branching fractions of B0s 2!J/[psi][phi] and [phi]2!+K- to be Rf0/[psi] = 0.257 " 0.020(stat) " 0.014(syst), which is the most precise determination of this quantity to date.

Book Description
"We are interested in measuring the exclusive semileptonic decays of the Ds to greater precision because it is the least extensively studied of the ground state charmed mesons, and greater knowledge of the Ds's decays may give information on related processes. We have studied semileptonic decay of the Ds meson using the full data set collected near the D*sDs peak production energy of 4170 MeV with the CLEO-c detector. We have made improved measurements of the branching fractions of Cabibbo favored semileptonic decays [formula would not render] and [formula would not render]. We have also made observations of the branching fractions of Cabibbo suppressed semileptonic decays [formula would not render] and [formula would not render]. These branching fractions are the most precisely measured to date"--Page vi.

Book Description
The authors report the measurement of the branching fractions of the rare decays B° → D{sub s}{sup (*)+}?−, B° → D{sub s}{sup (*)+}?−, and B° → D{sub s}{sup (*)-} K{sup (*)+} in a sample of 381 x 106?(4S) decays into B{bar B} pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy ee− storage ring. They present evidence for the decay B° → D{sub s}− K*+ and the vector-vector decays B° → D{sub s}{sup *+}?− and B° → D{sub s}{sup *-} K{sup *+}, as well as the first measurement of the vector meson polarization in these decays. They also determine the ratios of the CM-suppressed to CKM-favored amplitudes r(D{sup (*)}?) and r(D{sup (*)}?) in decays B° → D{sup (*)}{sup {+-}}?{sup {-+}} and B° → D{sup (*)}{sup {+-}}?{sup {-+}}, and comment on the prospects for measuring the Cp observable sin(2? +?).
