We have observed the decays B° -» K*(892)°j and B~ -> K*(892)~ry, which are evidence for the quark-level process b -• 57. The average branching fraction is (4.5 ± 1.5 ± 0.9) x 10~5. This value is consistent with standard model predictions from electromagnetic penguin diagrams. PACS numbers: 13.40.Hq, 14.40.Jz One-loop, flavor-changing neutral current diagrams, meson decays [1].

We present the first measurement of the D*(+) width using 9/fb of e(+)e(-) data collected near the Upsilon(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 Cornell Electron-positron Storage Ring beam spot to measure the energy release distribution from the D*(+)-->D(0)pi(+) decay. We find gamma(D*(+)) = 96+/-4 (stat)+/-22 (syst) keV. We also measure the energy release in the decay and compute Delta m identical with m(D*(+))-m(D(0)) = 145.412+/-0.002 (stat)+/-0.012 (syst) MeV/c(2).

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.

Using 13.5 fb Ϫ1 of e ϩ e Ϫ annihilation data collected with the CLEO II detector, we have observed a narrow resonance decaying to D s * ϩ 0 with a mass near 2.46 GeV/c 2. The search for such a state was motivated by the recent discovery by the BaBar Collaboration of a narrow state at 2.32 GeV/c 2 , the D sJ * (2317) ϩ , that decays to D s ϩ 0. Reconstructing the D s ϩ 0 and D s * ϩ 0 final states in CLEO data, we observe peaks in both of the corresponding reconstructed mass difference distributions, ⌬M (D s 0)ϭM (D s 0)ϪM (D s) and ⌬M (D s * 0)ϭM (D s * 0)ϪM (D s *), both of them at values near 350 MeV/c 2. We interpret these peaks as signatures of two distinct states, the D sJ * (2317) ϩ plus a new state, designated as the D sJ (2463) ϩ. Because of the similar ⌬M values, each of these states represents a source of background for the other if photons are lost, ignored or added. A quantitative accounting of these reflections confirms that both states exist. We have measured the mean mass differences ͗⌬M (D s 0)͘ϭ350.0Ϯ1.2 (stat)Ϯ1.0 (syst) MeV/c 2 for the D sJ * (2317) ϩ state, and ͗⌬M (D s * 0)͘ϭ351.2Ϯ1.7 (stat)Ϯ1.0 (syst) MeV/c 2 for the new D sJ (2463) ϩ state. We have also searched, but find no evidence, for decays of the two states via the channels D s * ϩ ␥, D s ϩ ␥, and D s ϩ ϩ Ϫ. The observations of the two states at 2.32 and 2.46 GeV/c 2 , in the D s ϩ 0 and D s * ϩ 0 decay channels, respectively, are consistent with their interpretations as cs mesons with an orbital angular momentum Lϭ1 and spin and parity J P ϭ0 ϩ and 1 ϩ .

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 .
