The Belle experiment has recorded 121 fb-1 of data at the Y(5S)
resonance, making this the world's largest data sample at this energy.
As the Y(5S) decays to Bs(*)Bs(*) pairs, this large sample provides
a unique opportunity for detailed studies of Bs decays at an e+e-
machine. Here we report a recent measurement of Bs->Ds(*)Ds(*)
decays and a new measurment of Bs->Ds(*)h decays.

Relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions allow exploring the behaviour of strongly interacting matter at high temperatures and high energy densities, where a new phase of matter, the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), is predicted to exist. In this phase colour confinement of quarks and gluons into hadrons should vanish.
Heavy-flavour particles, containing charm and beauty, are sensitive probes to...
