Non-Resonance Searches with Lepton
In this contribution, results on non-resonance search with lepton are presented. The searches looking for a single lepton, dilepton, trileptons and quarks as well have been performed and their possible interpretations for each channel are given. The discussion is limited to very recent results presented by ATLAS and CMS collaboration in this symposium.

A review of charm semileptonic decays
Several high energy experiments have been actively pursuing the analyzes of semileptonic decays of charm mesons, resulting in numerous new results and publications. In this report, we summarize the recent efforts on the topics of pseudoscalar and vector charm semileptonic decays, especially in the area of branching fractions and form factor measurements.

Tau physics from LEP
We briefly review recent analysis on the tau lepton by four LEP experiments, ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL, based on data samples generated at the Z peak. Intrinsic properties of the tau lepton as well as applications to various physics topics are treated from an experimental point of view. The summarized analysis subjects include lifetime, leptonic branching ratios, hadronic decay structures, dipole moments, related electroweak and QCD properties, and the mass of the tau neutrino.

Conservative, gravitational self-force for a particle in circular orbit around a Schwarzschild black hole in a radiation gauge
This is the second of two companion papers on computing the self-force in a radiation gauge; more precisely, the method uses a radiation gauge for the radiative part of the metric perturbation, together with an arbitrarily chosen gauge for the parts of the perturbation associated with changes in black-hole mass and spin and with a shift in the center of mass. In a test of the method delineated in the first paper, we compute the conservative part of the self-force for a particle in circular orbit around a Schwarzschild black hole. The gauge vector relating our radiation gauge to a Lorenz gauge is helically symmetric, implying that the quantity h_(αβ)u^(α)u^(β) must have the same value for our radiation gauge as for a Lorenz gauge; and we confirm this numerically to one part in 10^(14). As outlined in the first paper, the perturbed metric is constructed from a Hertz potential that is in a term obtained algebraically from the retarded perturbed spin-2 Weyl scalar, ψ_(0)^(ret). We use a mode-sum renormalization and find the renormalization coefficients by matching a series in L= l + 1/2 to the large-L behavior of the expression for the self-force in terms of the retarded field h_(αβ)^(ret); we similarly find the leading renormalization coefficients of h_(αβ)u^(α)u^(β) and the related change in the angular velocity of the particle due to its self-force. We show numerically that the singular part of the self-force has the form f^(S)_(α) = , the part of ∇_(α)ρ^(-1) that is axisymmetric about a radial line through the particle. This differs only by a constant from its form for a Lorenz gauge. It is because we do not use a radiation gauge to describe the change in black-hole mass that the singular part of the self-force has no singularity along a radial line through the particle and, at least in this example, is spherically symmetric to subleading order in ρ.

Light Higgs Scenario in BMSSM and LEP Precision Data
In this Letter we consider very light Higgs fields in BMSSM(Beyond MSSM). The spectrum below TeV scale is the same as the MSSM but the Higgs potential is modified and is well described in terms of effective dimension five and six operators. A correction from the BMSSM operators allows us to consider new parameter space of Higgs sector which is not allowed in the MSSM. It can be regarded as a constrained version of general 2 Higgs doublet model (2HDM) as long as Higgs sector is concerned. We focus on the possibility that CP odd Higgs (A) mass is about 7 or 8 GeV and charged Higgs mass is comparable to W mass. At the same time one of the CP even Higgs (h) is light enough such that h and A production at the Z pole is kinematically allowed. The tension between forward backward asymmetry of bottom quark Ab_FB measured at LEP and the Standard Model prediction can be ameliorated if bottom quark pair produced from light CP even Higgs is taken into account.

RECENT FOCUS RESULTS ON CHARM MIXING
We present the recent result on CP mixing based on a high statistics photoproduced charm sample collected by the FOCUS experiment. We compare the lifetimes of two neutral D meson decays: D0→K- π+ and D0→K-K+. A mixing parameter for the neutral D system (yCP) is obtained under the assumption that K-π+ is an equal mixture of CP odd and even eigenstates.
