Phys Rev Lett 87:27 Pt 1 (2001) 271801
Abstract:
We have searched for the two-body decay of the B meson to a light pseudoscalar meson h = pi(+/-),K+/-,K(0)(S) and a massless neutral feebly interacting particle X(0) such as the familon, the Nambu-Goldstone boson associated with a spontaneously broken global family symmetry. We find no significant signal by analyzing a data sample containing 9.7x10(6) BBbar mesons collected with the CLEO detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, and set 90% C.L. upper limits italicB(B(+/-) --> h(+/-)X(0)) = 4.9x10(-5) and italicB(B(0) --> K(0)(S)X(0)) = 5.3x10(-5). These limits correspond to a lower bound of approximately 10(8) GeV on the family symmetry breaking scale with vector coupling involving the third generation of quarks.Search for the familon via B± → π±X0, B± → K±X0, and B0 → Ks 0X0 decays

Abstract:
A search for the decay of the meson B±→H±X0 and B0→Ks0X0 was performed. The upper limits for the branching fractions constrained new physics leading to two-body B decays involving any massless neutral feebly interacting particle X0. The first lower bound on the family symmetry breaking scale involving the third generation of quarks at 108 GeV was obtained by applying the limit to the case where X0 was a familon.Branching fraction and photon energy spectrum for b --> s gamma.

Abstract:
We have measured the branching fraction and photon energy spectrum for the radiative penguin process b-->s gamma. We find Beta(b-->s gamma) = (3.21+/-0.43+/-0.27(+0.18)(-0.10))x10(-4), where the errors are statistical, systematic, and from theory corrections. We obtain first and second moments of the photon energy spectrum above 2.0 GeV,First measurement of gamma(D*(+)).
