This report provides a succinct summary of the physics programme of SuperB, and describes that potential in the context of experiments making measurements in flavour physics over the next 10 to 20 years. Detailed comparisons are made with…
We present heavy flavor measurements performed by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations with data collected at the Large Hadron Collider. The production mechanism of heavy flavor hadrons is discussed as well as lifetime measurements and searches…
Hadrons carrying open heavy flavor, i.e. single charm or bottom quarks, are among the key diagnostic tools available today for the hot and dense state of strongly interacting matter which is produced in collisions of heavy atomic nuclei at…
Heavy flavour is mainly produced during the initial hard partonic interactions in a heavy ion collision, and is well-suited to probe the early phases of the evolution of the system. This contribution will focus on Pb--Pb analyses at a…
Precision studies of flavour-changing processes involving quarks and leptons provide a number of ways to improve knowledge of the Standard Model and search for physics beyond it. There are excellent short- and mid-term prospects for…
With the discovery of new states in recent years, interest in spectroscopy has revived. Recent experimental results in heavy flavour spectroscopy are reviewed, including charmonium, bottomonium, charmed mesons and baryons and bottom mesons.
The CDF detector at Fermilab has accumulated more that 3/fb of data which enables unprecedented studies of heavy flavor hadron properties. We present recent CDF measurements of mass and lifetime of the Bc meson as well as lifetime, mixing…
We present a short overview of the so-called flavour anomalies, discussing their significance and the connections with QCD issues discussed at the HADRON 2023 conference.
We review some rigourous consequences of flavour independence on the spectrum and properties of hadrons in potential models, with emphasis on hadrons with two heavy quarks, such as $(b\bar c)$ mesons and $(QQq)$ baryons.
The experimental success of the predictions of the Standard Model in the flavour sector suggests that New Physics should possess a highly non-generic flavour structure. Different approaches to this idea of Minimal Flavour Violation have…
A brief review of theoretical aspects of new-physics searches in flavor physics is given. Special attention is thereby devoted to B_s mixing and the interplay of high- and low-p_T observations.
Heavy quarks (charm and beauty) are produced early in the nucleus-nucleus collisions, and heavy flavor survives throughout the later stages. Measurements of heavy-flavor quarks thus provide us with means to understand the properties of the…
This talk explores the role of flavor physics to constrain beyond standard model phenomena and future prospects, from a theoretical point of view. Possible implications of some experimental results in tension with the standard model are…
Recently the first evidence for charm mixing has been reported by several experiments. To provide averages of these mixing results and other charm results, a new subgroup of the Heavy Flavor Averaging Group has been formed. We here report…
For a long time the significance of charm has been overlooked as an important component of the heavy flavour programme. In recent years the balance has been redressed, and charm studies are quite rightly receiving much more attention. This…
These lectures give a topical review of heavy flavour physics, in particular \CP violation and rare decays, from an experimental point of view. They describe the ongoing motivation to study heavy flavour physics in the LHC era, the current…
Experimental results on c- and b-quark fragmentation are reviewed. The discussion is concentrated on measurements of heavy-quark fragmentation functions and fragmentation fractions. Measurements of various heavy-quark fragmentation ratios…
I summarize the theory talks given in the Heavy Flavours Working Group. In particular, I discuss heavy-flavour parton distribution functions, threshold resummation for heavy-quark production, progress in fragmentation functions, quarkonium…
The production of $W/Z$ bosons in association with heavy flavour jets or hadrons at the LHC is sensitive to the flavour content of the proton and provides an important test of perturbative QCD. The production of a $W$ boson in association…
The relation between tempered distributions and measures is analysed and clarified. While this is straightforward for positive measures, it is surprisingly subtle for signed or complex measures.
