Spin Effects in Heavy Quark Processes

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2011-01-25 v1

Abstract

In the infinite mass limit for a heavy quark its spin decouples from the QCD dynamics, which leads to the heavy-quark spin symmetry. After a short discussion of spin symmetry some applications are considered.
