Charm and $B$ to charm decays at Belle II

We report on precise measurements of charmed hadron lifetimes from the Belle II experiment and on the measurement of the angle $\gamma$ combining Belle and Belle II data. To measure charmed hadron lifetimes we use samples of electron-positron collisions collected from 2019 to 2021 near the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance, corresponding to integrated luminosities of up to 207.2 ${\rm fb^{-1}}$. The results are the world's best determinations, indicating excellent early detector performance. We measure the angle $\gamma$ using a model-independent Dalitz plot analysis combining Belle and Belle II data, with a total sample size of the order of 1 ${\rm ab^{-1}}$. This is the first combined analysis, and shows significant improvement with respect to previous $B$-factory determinations.

Performance of the diamond-based beam-loss monitor system of Belle II

We designed, constructed and have been operating a system based on single-crystal synthetic diamond sensors, to monitor the beam losses at the interaction region of the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy electron-positron collider. The system records the radiation dose-rates in positions close to the inner detectors of the Belle II experiment, and protects both the detector and accelerator components against destructive beam losses, by participating in the beam-abort system. It also provides complementary information for the dedicated studies of beam-related backgrounds. We describe the performance of the system during the commissioning of the accelerator and during the first physics data taking.
