We report on dispersive and finite energy sum rule analyses of the electroweak penguin matrix elements (ππ)2|Q7,8|K 0 in the chiral limit. We accomplish the correct perturbative matching (scale and scheme dependence) at NLO in αs, and we describe two different strategies for numerical evaluation.

We construct quantum mechanical models which mimic many features of string theory. We use these models to gain improved descriptions of B fields and gerbes. We examine the analogs of T duality, D branes, and mirror symmetry in these models and derive quantum mechanical analogs of standard phenomena, such as the noncommutative geometry induced by a B field.

We discuss the theoretical predictions for the two photon decay width of the pseudoscalar η b meson. Predictions from potential models are examined. It is found that various models are in good agreement with each other. Results for η b are also compared with those from Υ data through the NRQCD procedure.

The angle β is the most accurately measured quantity that determines the Unitarity Triangle. In this article I review the various measurements of this angle performed by the BaBar Collaboration, and discuss their implications in the search for new physics.
