After a dozen of very lively years, the spectra of heavy quarkonia below thresholds are almost complete; the last system to be explored is the Bc meson. Since few years, most discoveries happened close to open flavor thesholds, and four quark systems have attracted interest as the new spectroscopy frontier. This review will cover the unresolved questions on conventional quarkonia, the links...

One of the most intriguing puzzles in hadron spectroscopy are the
numerous charmonium-like states observed in the last decade, including charged states that are
manifestly exotic.
Over the years BaBar has extensively studied these states in B meson decays,
initial state radiation processes and two photon reactions. We report new and additional
studies on some of these states performed...

We perform an analysis of the D+ -> Ks pi+ pi0 Dalitz plot. The Dalitz plot is found to be well-represented by a combination of six quasi-two-body decay channels (Ks rho, Ks rho(1450), K*0bar pi+, K*0(1430)bar pi+, K(1680)bar pi+ and kapa0bar pi+) plus a small non-resonant component. Using the fractions from this analysis, partial branching ratios are updated with higher precision than...

An interesting possibility to ease the tension between various determinations of |Vub| allows a small right-handed contribution to the Standard Model weak current. The current bounds on such a contribution are fairly weak. We propose new ways to search for such a beyond Standard Model contribution in the semileptonic B -> ρ l ν decay. We suggest to use generalized asymmetries in one, two, or...

Semileptonic B meson decays, B ➞ X l ν, are currently the preferred modes for determining the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements |Vcb| and |Vub|, two fundamental parameters of the Standard Model. At the same time they can also be used to test and refine the theoretical tools used for describing B mesons and their decays. Based on the large data sample accumulated by the Belle...

The different amplitudes contributing to the decay of Bs into J/psi phi (mu+mu-K+K-) can be studies with a combined analysis of decay time and angular correlations. An updated analysis is presented, based on data collected in 2012 and with improved flavour tagging improving the accuracy in the CP-violating phase phi_s.

Charmless b-hadron decays are suppressed in the Standard Model by tiny CKM matrix elements which brings the tree amplitudes to levels comparable with loop amplitudes, and potentially New Physics amplitudes.

The LHCb experiment has a great potential for precise measurements of the CP violating phase in the standard model, and for searches of new phases. We report on recent measurements of the CP violating angle angle γ which is the least constrained parameter in the CKM unitarity triangle, the phase in B mixing, and direct CP violation in B decays.

Experimental information about the neutrino masses and lepton mixing is important both for cosmology and particle physics. Cosmological observations and neutrinoless double beta decay experiments provide an indirect access to the absolute neutrino mass scale, but are model-dependent.

The Sun as a well-defined neutrino source provides extremely important opportunities to investigate nontrivial neutrino properties such as nonzero mass, flavor mixing, neutrino oscillations, and MSW effect. The solar neutrino flux is energetically broadband, free of flavor backgrounds, and passes through quantities of matter obviously unavailable to terrestrial experiments.

While neutrino oscillations among the three active neutrino flavors are by now well established, several anomalies observed at relatively short baselines in oscillation experiments hint towards the existence of one or more additional sterile neutrino flavors. As a consequence, several experiments are in preparation that are dedicated to test the sterile neutrino hypothesis.

Electroweak penguin b-hadron and c-hadron decays are very sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model.
