Recent results in the field of Heavy Quarkonia are reviewed, with results either providing new precision measurements or addressing key unanswered questions.
Some interesting heavy-flavor questions are mentioned that may yield to the methods of lattice QCD. Special emphasis is placed on topics which arise in the discussion of CP violation in $B$ decays. Other subjects include quarkonium and…
This summary discusses some of the topics which were of overarching interest at the Symposium. These included, corrections to perturbative QCD predictions; heavy quark physics; electroweak symmetry breaking; and physics of the top quark.
Flavour-violating decays are some of the most sensitive probes for New Physics with masses below the B meson threshold. In this talk I review the sensitivity to axion-like particles, hidden photons and heavy neutral leptons assuming minimal…
Flavour physics represents one of the most interesting and, at the same time, less understood sector of the Standard Theory. On the one hand, the peculiar pattern of quark and lepton masses, and their mixing angles, may be the clue to some…
We review the new results on the heavy flavor baryons and on the pentaquarks.
New results with increased statistics are presented for heavy flavour production at Q2<150 Gev2 and in the photoproduction limit Q2-->0. Cross sections for Dstar production, F2charm, the gluon density in the proton, and inelastic J/psi…

The analysis of heavy flavor lattice correlation functions to obtain insights into transport phenomena and bound state dissociation patterns is a difficult and interesting challenge from the point of view of lattice QCD spectroscopy. In…
Rare decays of the $B$ meson are sensitive to new physics effects. Several experimental results on these decays have been difficult to understand within the standard model (SM) though more precise measurements and a better understanding of…
The LHCb experiment has the potential, during the 2010-11 run, to observe the rare decay $B^0_s\to \mu^+\mu^-$ or improve significantly its exclusion limits. This study will provide very sensitive probes of New Physics (NP) effects. High…
We briefly report on some particular aspects of new physics searches concerning, on the one side, the CKM paradigm and, on the other, the global fit to rare $b\to s \ell\ell$ observables including lepton flavour universality ones. We put…
The experimental status of stable bound states made out of heavy quarks is reviewed. The need for a way to deal with the non-perturbative transitions involved calls for precision measurements on one hand, and for discovery of as yet…
