Heavy Quark Hadronic Weak Decays from CLEO-II

Abstract

We present preliminary results from the CLEO-II collaboration on a variety of hadronic final states of mesons containing heavy quarks. In particular, the pattern of 2-body \B\ decays is now decisively different that that of \D\ and \K\ decays; perhaps a consequence will be that ${\tau }_{\text{BM}}<{\tau }_{\text{BZB}}$. We have observed `wrong-sign' $\text{DZ}\text{sto}\text{KP}\text{PIM}$ decays, which are probably due to a doubly Cabibbo-suppressed transition.
