The renormalization issue of the reparameterization invariance in heavy quark effective theory and NRQCD is investigated. I argue that the renormalization of the transformation of the heavy quark field under the variation of the velocity…
Isgur-Wise functions parametrise the leading behaviour of weak decay form factors of mesons and baryons containing a single heavy quark. The form factors for the quark mass operator are calculated in strong coupling lattice QCD, and…
In the large $N_c$ limit, the $\Lambda_b$ and $\Lambda_c$ can be treated as bound states of chiral solitons and mesons containing a heavy quark. We show that the soliton and heavy meson are bound in an attractive harmonic oscillator…
Using the gauge-gravity duality we have obtained the potential between a heavy quark and an antiquark pair, which is moving perpendicular to the direction of orientation, in a strongly-coupled supersymmetric hot plasma. For the purpose we…
We develop the improved ladder approximation to QCD in order to apply it to the heavy quark mesons. The resulting Bethe-Salpeter equation is expanded in powers of the inverse heavy quark mass 1/M, and is shown to be consistent with the…
The concept of QCD sum rules is extended to bound states composed of particles with finite mass such as scalar quarks or strange quarks. It turns out that mass corrections become important in this context. The number of relevant corrections…

In this work we use the low-energy EFT called potential non-relativistic QCD (pNRQCD) to calculate the partial decay width of different $b\bar{b}$-states undergoing an electric dipole transition at next-to-next-to leading order (NNLO).…
We report results of a potential model for mesons in D space-time dimension developed by considering the quark-antiquark potential of Nambu-Goto strings. With this wave function, we have studied Isgur-Wise function for heavy-light mesons…
Using the nonrelativistic effective field theory vNRQCD, we determine the contribution to the next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) running of the effective quark-antiquark potential at order v (1/mk) from diagrams with one potential and two…
Recent results for B meson decay constants with NRQCD b-quarks and clover light quarks are discussed. Perturbative matching factors through O($\alpha/M$) are now available and incorporated into the analyses. An O($\alpha a$) improvement…
Heavy-light mesons can be studied using the 1/M expansion of NRQCD, provided the heavy quark mass is sufficiently large. Calculations of the S-wave charmed meson masses from a classically and tadpole-improved action are presented. A…
In this paper we describe a theoretical framework and algorithms for implementing QCD corrections to top quark decays in the Herwig++ event generator. The dominant corrections, due to soft and collinear emissions, are summed to all orders…

We review recent theoretical developments in heavy quarkonium physics from the point of view of Effective Field Theories of QCD. We discuss Non-Relativistic QCD and concentrate on potential Non-Relativistic QCD. Our main goal will be to…
We show how heavy quark effective theory, including 1/M corrections, may be matched onto dynamical quark models by making a specific choice of K,m and v in the p=mv+K expansion. We note that Wigner rotations of heavy quark spins arise at…
