The paper introduces the selection of new results on heavy flavours presented at the QCD and High Energy Interactions section of the XLIIIth ``Rencontres de Moriond'' conference.
This is a summary of the theoretical contributions to the QCD session of the 47th Rencontre de Moriond, including some perspectives on the implications of the reported experimental results on the status of our theoretical understanding.
2008 was a vintage year for the QCD Moriond meeting. Plenty of new data from Tevatron, HERA, B-Factories and other experiments have been reported. Some brand new results became public just before or even during the conference. A few new…
Developments reported at the 2007 Moriond Workshop on QCD and Hadronic Interactions are reviewed and placed in a theoretical context.
This is a summary of theoretical plenary contributions to the biennial hadron physics conference Meson2006, which was the ninth in this series. The topics covered in the meeting include low energy pion-pion and pion-nucleon interactions,…
A summary of the QM19 conference is given by highlighting a few selected results. These are discussed as examples to illustrate the exciting future of heavy-ion collisions and the need for further instrumentation. (The arXiv version is…
We review the theoretical aspects relevant in the description of high energy heavy ion collisions, with an emphasis on the learnings about the underlying QCD phenomena that have emerged from these collisions.
We show that the 750 GeV di-photon excess could be explained by the ${\mathcal Q}-$onium system of a new QCD-like theory with fermions vectorial under the SM. Beside the spin-0 di-photon singlet this scenario predicts almost degenerate…
Overview of the perturbative QCD session at Moriond '96: theoretical techniques and current issues, primarily as applied to jet physics at colliders.
A substantial body of data is described by the Standard Model of particle physics. However the description is far from perfect and there is a growing number of internal inconsistencies. These fall short of qualifying as discoveries;…
Recent measurements of QCD interactions involving large momentum transfers are reviewed. The status of measurements of the strong coupling constant is summarised. Recent developments in the measurement and interpretation of deep inelastic…
At the LHC all processes are QCD ones, whether "signal" or "background". In this review the frontiers of current QCD research are addressed, towards increased understanding, improved calculational precision, and role in potential future…
We study kinematic distributions that may help characterise the recently observed excess in diphoton events at 750 GeV at the LHC Run 2. Several scenarios are considered, including spin-0 and spin-2 750 GeV resonances that decay directly…
These lectures stress the theoretical elements that underlie a wide range of phenomenological studies of high-energy QCD, which include both soft and hard processes. After a brief introduction to the basics of QCD, various aspects of…
This talk serves as an introduction to the Heavy-Flavor session of the XXXIII International Symposium on Multiparticle Dynamics. A major focus of this session is on the production of heavy quarks. The talks which follow review the latest…
I summarize recent results from lattice QCD on a few selected topics which are of interest to the heavy-ion physics community. Special emphasis is placed upon observables related to fluctuations of conserved charges and their connection to…
QCD is now a mature theory, and it is possible to begin to view its place in the conceptual universe of physics with appropriate perspective. There is a certain irony in the achievements of QCD. For the problems which initially drove its…
QCD is an extensively developed and tested gauge theory, which models the strong interactions in the high-energy regime. In this talk, I shall review the considerable progress which has been achieved in the last few years in the most…
These introductory lectures present a broad overview of the physics of high parton densities in QCD and its application to our understanding of the early time dynamics in heavy ion collisions.
An overview is presented of the experimental talks given at the XXXVIIth Rencontres de Moriond QCD session.
