Using the CLEO II detector, we have measured the differential cross sections for exclusive two-photon production of light pseudoscalar mesons 0 , , and Ј. From our measurements we have obtained the form factors associated with the electromagnetic transitions ␥*␥→meson. We have measured these form factors in the momentum transfer ranges from 1.5 to 9, 20, and 30 GeV 2 for 0 , , and Ј, respectively, and have made comparisons to various theoretical predictions. ͓S0556-2821͑98͒01001-7͔

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 .

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 .
