First, we give summary of the present values of CKM matrix elements. Then, we discuss whether CKM matrix is unitary or not, and how we can find out if it is not unitary.
An introduction to the heavy quark effective theory and its symmetries is given. Some implications of the heavy quark spin and flavor symmetries are discussed. Recent results on fragmentation to quarkonium states are reviewed.
The top quark plays an important role in a number of new physics models, some of which introduce violations to some of the accidental symmetries of the SM, such as the lepton number conservation or introduce additional sources of others…
We review several aspects of K-Physics: i) Main targets of the field, ii) The theoretical framework for K-decays, iii) Standard analysis of the unitarity triangle, iv) epsilon'/epsilon, v) Rare and CP violating K-decays, vi) Comparision of…
There are many striking phenomena which are attributed to ``quantum coherence''. It is natural to wonder if there are new quantum coherence effects waiting to be discovered which could lead to interesting results and perhaps even practical…
This paper reviews the results presented at the 31st ICHEP on Heavy Quarks, with emphasis on those related to the determinationof the unitarity triangle parameters.
This is an introduction to measure theory, integration and function spaces, with all the needed preliminaries included, and with some applications included as well. We first discuss some basic motivations, coming from discrete probability,…
We present a general discussion of collider processes with not-completely inclusive production of heavy flavors. We review the Perturbative Fragmentation Functions formalism as the appropriate tool for studying such processes and detail the…
Topics in the description of the properties of charmonium states are reviewed with an emphasis on specific theoretical ideas and methods of relating those properties to the underlying theory of Quantum Chromodynamics.
The area of fractional calculus (FC) has been fast developing and is presently being applied in all scientific fields. Therefore, it is of key relevance to assess the present state of development and to foresee, if possible, the future…
Complementarity was originally introduced as a qualitative concept for the discussion of properties of quantum mechanical objects that are classically incompatible. More recently, complementarity has become a \emph{quantitative} relation…
After reviewing some of the mathematical foundations and numerical difficulties facing lattice QCD, I review the status of several calculations relevant to experimental high-energy physics. The topics considered are moments of structure…
In these proceedings I present a personal perspective of the challenges for new physics (NP) searches in the flavour sector. Since the CKM mechanism of flavour violation has been established to a very high precision, we know that physics…
Nufact08 is the tenth in a series of workshops started in 1999, whose main goal is to understand options for future neutrino-oscillation experiments to attack the problems of the neutrino mass hierarchy and CP violation in the leptonic…
At present, the main topics addressed by kaon physics are the unitarity test of CKM matrix via precision measurements of the Cabibbo angle as well as precision tests of discrete symmetries: in particular, study of possible CPT violations in…
The LHC physics era is about to commence; here we discuss a complementary physics program that would be realized at a high luminosity flavor factory. A flavor factory experiment can search for new physics in CP asymmetries, inclusive decay…
We summarize the present knowledge on the non-perturbative hadronic inputs needed in the analysis of $B^0$-$\bar B^0$ mixing and the CP-violating parameter $\varepsilon$ of the $K^0$-$\bar K^0$ system. Using this information, together with…
A new method for a precision measurement of the CKM matrix element |Vub| is discussed, which combines good theoretical control with high efficiency and a powerful discrimination against charm background. The resulting combined theoretical…
Research in neutrino physics has been very active, both in experimental advances, with a new generation of detectors in operation and planning, and in theoretical discussions regarding the fundamental nature of the neutrino. This scientific…
Although the unitarity triangles ($UTs$) carry information about the Kobayashi-Maskawa (KM) quark mixing matrix, it explicitly contains just three parameters which is one short to completely fix the KM matrix. It has been shown recently, by…
