$B$ Decays, Flavour Mixings and CP Violation in the Standard Model

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

These lectures review the progress made in our present understanding of BB decays. The emphasis here is on applications of QCD to BB decays and the attendant perturbative and non-perturbative uncertainties, which limit present theoretical precision in some cases but the overall picture that emerges is consistent with the standard model (SM). This is illustrated by quantitatively analyzing some of the key measurements in BB physics.
