Recent advances in the study of B-meson systems

Some interesting experimental developments in the sector involving B-mesons and Bs, mesons at a variety of experiments at e+ e- colliders and at the Tevatraon, the proton-antiproton collider are reviewed. Having entered an era of precision studies in this sector, it is clear that many interesting and exciting developments lie ahead, both experimentally and theoretically, as a possible window to physics beyond what the standard model may open up in these systems
