In a typical exclusive quarkonium production process, when the center-of-mass energy, $\sqrt{s}$, is much greater than the heavy quark mass $m$, large kinematic logarithms of $s/m^2$ will unavoidably arise at each order of perturbative…

I review new results on particles containing a charm or bottom quark, focusing on measurements that give insight into the dynamics of the decay process. Leptonic and semileptonic decays are the simplest modes, and they provide detailed…
Processes involving heavy quarks in associated production, are usually described in two factorisation schemes: one in which the heavy quark is treated as an infinitely massive object, decoupled from QCD evolution, and one in which it is…
