Heavy hadron production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation is studied in the framework of heavy-quark recombination mechanism. This mechanism predicts a new type of 3-jet event such as $b\bar{b}q$ or $b\bar{b}\bar{q}$, which is power-suppressed…

Heavy-quark effective theory (HQET) is applied to lattice QCD with Wilson fermions at fixed lattice spacing a. This description is possible because heavy-quark symmetries are respected. It is desirable because the ultraviolet cutoff $1/a$…
