Using 20.7 pb −1 of e + e − annihilation data taken at √ s = 3.671 GeV with the CLEO-c detector, precision measurements of the electromagnetic form factors of the charged pion, charged kaon, and proton have been made for timelike momentum transfer of |Q 2 | = 13.48 GeV 2 by the reaction e + e − → h + h − . The measurements are the first ever with identified pions and kaons of |Q 2 | > 4 GeV 2 , with the results F π (13.48 GeV 2 ) = 0.075 ± 0.008(stat) ± 0.005(syst) and F K (13.48 GeV 2 ) = 0.063±0.004(stat)±0.001(syst). The result for the proton, assumingGeV 2 ) = 0.014 ± 0.002(stat) ± 0.001(syst), which is in agreement with earlier results.

We present the first measurement of the D* ϩ width using 9/fb of e ϩ e Ϫ data collected near the ⌼(4S) resonance by the CLEO II.V detector. Our method uses advanced tracking techniques and a reconstruction method that takes advantage of the small vertical size of the CESR beam spot to measure the energy release distribution from the D* ϩ →D 0 ϩ decay. We find ⌫(D* ϩ )ϭ96Ϯ4 (statistical)Ϯ22 (systematic) keV. We also measure the energy release in the decay and compute ⌬mϵm D* ϩϪ m D 0ϭ 145.412Ϯ0.002 (statistical) Ϯ0.012 (systematic) MeV/c 2 .

CLEO has studied B decays to the nal states ` , ` , and !` , wherè = e or. We fully reconstruct these modes using a measurement of the missing energy and momentum in each event to infer the neutrino momentum. With the B 0 and B + modes combined according to isospin predictions for the relative partial widths, we obtain B(B 0 ! ?`+) = (1:8 0:4 0:3 0:2) 10 ?4 and B(B 0 ! ?`+) = (2:5 0:4 +0:5 ?0:7 0:5) 10 ?4 , where the errors are statistical, systematic and the estimated model-dependence. We also estimate jV ub j = (3:3 0:2 +0:3 ?0:4 0:7) 10 ?3 .

Using data collected with the CLEO detector operating at the CESR e+e- collider at sqrt[s]=3.97-4.26 GeV, we investigate 15 charmonium decay modes of the psi(4040), psi(4160), and Y(4260) resonances. We confirm, at 11 sigma significance, the BABAR Y(4260)-->pi+pi- J/psi discovery, make the first observation of Y(4260)--> pi(0)pi(0) J/psi (5.1 sigma), and find the first evidence for Y(4260)-->K+K- J/psi(3.7 sigma). We measure e+e- cross sections at sqrt[s]=4.26 GeV as sigma(pi+pi- J/psi)=58(+12)(-10)+/-4 pb, sigma(pi(0)pi(0) J/psi)=23(+12)(-8)+/-1 pb, and sigma(K+K- J/psi)=9(+9)(-5)+/-1 pb, in which the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. Upper limits are placed on other decay rates from all three resonances.

The decay branching fractions of the three narrow Upsilon resonances to mu(+)mu(-) have been measured by analyzing about 4.3 fb(-1) e(+)e(-) data collected with the CLEO III detector. The branching fraction B(Upsilon(1S)-->mu(+)mu(-))=(2.49+/-0.02+/-0.07)% is consistent with the current world average, but B(Upsilon(2S)-->mu(+)mu(-))=(2.03+/-0.03+/-0.08)% and B(Upsilon(3S)-->mu(+)mu(-))=(2.39+/-0.07+/-0.10)% are significantly larger than prior results. These new muonic branching fractions imply a narrower total decay width for the Upsilon(2S) and Upsilon(3S) resonances and lower other branching fractions that rely on these decays in their determination.

Using 13.3 fb −1 of e + e − collision data taken in the Υ(1S −4S) region with the CLEO III detector at the CESR collider, a search has been made for the new resonance Y (4260) recently reported by the BaBar Collaboration. The production of Y (4260) in initial state radiation (ISR), and its decay into π + π − J/ψ, are confirmed. A good quality fit to our data is obtained with a single resonance. We determine M (Y (4260)) = (4284 +17 −16 (stat) ± 4(syst)) MeV/c 2 , Γ(Y (4260)) = (73 +39 −25 (stat) ± 5(syst)) MeV/c 2 , and Γ ee (Y (4260)) × B(Y (4260) → π + π − J/ψ) = (8.9 +3.9 −3.1 (stat) ± 1.8(syst)) eV/c 2 .

A search for a supersymmetric partner of the top quark (t 1 ) has been performed by the OPAL experiment i n e + e collisions at LEP. The integrated luminosity of the data sample analysed was 69.1 pb 1 , which corresponds to 1.6810 6 produced Z 0 ! q q e v ents. Not 1 candidates have been found. This study excludes the existence of thet 1 with a mass below 45.1 GeV at 95% C.L., where the mixing angle of left-and right-handed partners is smaller than 0.85 rad or greater than 1.15 rad, and the mass dierence between thet 1 and the lightest neutralino is greater than 5 GeV.
