We consider heavy quark mass ($m$) effects in the Energy-Energy Correlation function in $e^+e^- \to hadrons$ at high energy $Q$, in the back-to-back (two-jet) region. In the ultra-relativistic limit, $Q \gg m$, the QCD Sudakov form factor…

An estimate has been made of the masses of heavy hadrons in nonrelativistic quark model, which includes spin and flavor-dependent hyperfine splitting for two quarks. The effect of variation of the wavefunction value at origin and the strong…
We review theoretical approaches to form factors that arise in heavy-meson decays and are hadronic expressions of non-perturbative QCD. After motivating their origin in QCD factorisation, we retrace their evolution from quark-model…
Heavy quark spin symmetry is discussed in the context of single and doubly heavy baryons. A special attention is paid to the constraints/simplifications that this symmetry imposes on the non-relativistic constituent quark model wave…
