We consider propagation of heavy quarks in QCD matter. Because of large quark mass, the radiative quark energy loss appears to be qualitatively different from that of light quarks at all energies of practical importance. Finite quark mass…
We combine the known asymptotic behaviour of the QCD perturbation series expansion, which relates the pole mass of a heavy quark to the MSbar mass, with the exact series coefficients up to the four-loop order to determine the ultimate…
We construct the heavy baryonic currents by using the Bethe-Salpeter wave functions in the heavy quark limit. We discuss the one-loop renormalization of these heavy baryonic currents as well as their two-point correlators up to the order…
We show that the infinite imaginary anomalous dimensions of certain heavy quark-antiquark currents in the HQET arise due to an inappropriate commutation of two limits, namely coinciding velocities and infinite cut-off. This commutation is…
We consider the Heavy Quark Expansion (HQE) for the nonleptonic decay rates of heavy hadrons, and compute the NLO QCD corrections to power terms up to order $1/m_Q^2$. We neglect the masses of the final-state quarks, so the application of…
Complex Langevin simulations allow numerical studies of theories that exhibit a sign problem, such as QCD, and are thereby potentially suitable to determine the QCD phase diagram from first principles. Here we study QCD in the limit of…
We discuss (i) the evaluation of the expectation values of four-quark operators assuming that the heavy quark expansion for $b$ sector converges at the third order in $1/m_Q$, and (ii) the estimation of the duality breaking short distance…
We calculate the mass and residue of the heavy spin--1/2 baryons containing two heavy b or c quarks in the framework of QCD sum rules. We use the most general form of the interpolating current in its symmetric and anti-symmetric forms with…
In this series of lectures the basic ideas of the $1/m_Q$ expansion in QCD ($m_Q$ is the mass of a heavy quark) are outlined. Applications to exclusive and inclusive decays are given.
The net-baryon density at midrapidity is proposed as an order parameter in the search for the QCD critical point in heavy ion collisions. As a function of the initial energy and the total number of participants, this quantity obeys a…
Exclusive semileptonic decays of B mesons to orbitally excited D mesons are considered beyond the infinitely heavy quark limit in the framework of the relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential approach. This model agrees with the…
We reevaluate a quark model prediction using the new QCD evolution function calculated to the 3 loop order and conclude that this model compares favorably with the new experimental results.
We evaluate pseudoscalar, vector, spin 1/2 and spin 3/2 baryon masses predicted by lattice QCD with Wilson quarks in the valence (quenched) approximation for a range of different values of lattice spacing, lattice volume and quark mass.…
We discuss limits on variation of $(m_q/\Lambda_{QCD})$. The results are obtained by studying $n-\alpha$-interaction during Big Bang, Oklo natural nuclear reactor data and limits on variation of the proton $g$-factor from quasar absorpion…
We estimate the maximum equatorial ellipticity sustainable by compact stars composed of crystalline color-superconducting quark matter. For the theoretically allowed range of the gap parameter $\Delta$, the maximum ellipticity could be as…
The main goals of `spin physics' are recalled, and some theoretical and phenomenological aspects of longitudinally polarized deep inelastic scattering and other hard processes are reviewed. The spin dependent parton densities of protons and…
We present the quantum kinetic equation for spin polarization of massive quarks in leading log order of perturbative QCD, which describes time evolution of the spin density matrix in momentum space of a massive quark interacting with a…
We calculate the contributions arising at order $\alpha_s$ in the QCD sum rule for the spin-symmetry violating universal function $\chi_3(v\cdot v')$, which appears at order $1/m_Q$ in the heavy quark expansion of meson form factors. In…
Phenomenological potentials describe the quarkonium systems like Charmonia, Bottomonia and $B_c$ Meson. They give a good accuracy for the mass spectra. In the present work we extend one of our previous works in the central case by adding…
We determine the location of the critical point where the first-order deconfining transition in the heavy-quark region turns into a crossover in finite-temperature and density lattice QCD with 2+1 flavors of Wilson quarks. Combining a…
