SLAC - PUB - 6635 BNL - 60709 TECHNION - PH - 94 - 11 Feasibility of Extracting V td from Radiative B ( B S ) Decays

We use existing measurements of D − → K * 0 ρ − and B → ψ + K * , coupled with flavor independence of QCD, and with vector meson dominance to show that long distance contributions to B → ρ + γ are potentially very serious. We note that long distance (LD) contributions can be appreciably different in B − → ρ − + γ and B 0 → ρ 0 (ω) + γ. All radiative decays of B, B S are shown to be governed ess...

X-ray Variability of the Magnetic Cataclysmic Variable V1432 Aql

V1432 Aquilae (=RX J1940.2−1025) is the X-ray bright, eclipsing magnetic cataclysmic variable ∼37 away from the Seyfert galaxy, NGC 6814. Due to a 0.3% difference between the orbital (12116.3 s) and the spin (12150 s) periods, the accretion geometry changes over the ∼50 day beat period. Here we report the results of an RXTE campaign to observe the eclipse 25 times, as well as Also Universities ...

This is a quick review of CP non-conservation in B physics. Several methods are described for testing the Kobayashi-Maskawa single phase origin of CP violation in B decays, pointing out some limitations due to hadronic uncertainties. A few characteristic signatures of new physics in B decay asymmetries are listed. Invited talk given at the 1999 Chicago Conference on Kaon Physics Chicago, IL, Ju...
