I review some topics in the production and decays of heavy flavours that are relevant for collider physics. In particular, I discuss the present status and some recent progress related to masses, parton densities and fragmentation functions…
An introduction to the recent developments in perturbative heavy quarkonium physics is given. Covered are the effective theories NRQCD, pNRQCD and vNRQCD, the threshold expansion, the role of renormalons, and applications to bottom and top…
Bauer, Ligeti and Luke have recently proposed a new method for measuring |V_{ub}| in inclusive semileptonic B decays, using a cut on the lepton invariant mass to discriminate against b->c transitions. We investigate the structure of the…
In the last few years, lattice QCD has made a dramatic progress in understanding the physics of hadrons containing heavy quarks, from the first principle. This review summarises the major achievements.
Processes involving heavy quarks in associated production, are usually described in two factorisation schemes: one in which the heavy quark is treated as an infinitely massive object, decoupled from QCD evolution, and one in which it is…
A systematic study of the inclusive single heavy quark and heavy-quark pair production cross sections in pp collisions is presented for RHIC and LHC energies. We compare with existing data when possible. The dependence of the rates on the…
The heaviest fermion is expected to couple strongly to new physics and appears therefore as a natural probe in many BSM scenarios. Moreover, top physics has now entered in a precision era thanks to the huge amount of top quarks produced at…
In this talk, I address some recent developments in chiral perturbation theory at unphysical and physical quark masses.

We present recent measurements on top quark physics obtained at the Fermilab Tevatron $p\bar p$ collider by the CDF and D0 collaborations. We discuss the measurements of the top quark mass using direct and indirect methods of extraction,…

This review presents an overview of the remarkable progress in the field of heavy-quark exotic hadrons over the past 15 years. It seeks to be pedagogical rather than exhaustive, summarizing both the progress and specific results of…
A relativistic constituent quark model, formulated on the light-front, is used to derive a new parton approximation for the inclusive semileptonic decay width of the B-meson. A simple connection between the decay rate of a free heavy-quark…
As a stringent test of the nonrelativistic QCD factorization approach for inclusive heavy-quarkonium production in high-energy hadron collision, the polarized heavy-quarkonium production at the Tevatron is discussed. The polarization of…
