Mathematical ideas and approaches common in complexity-related fields have been fruitfully applied in experimental high energy physics also. We briefly review some of the cross-pollination that is occurring.
We discuss some of the recent developments in the quark star physics along with the consequences of possible hadron to quark phase transition at high density scenario of neutron stars and their implications on the Astroparticle Physics.
Current problems in particle physics are reviewed from the viewpoint of theories possessing extra spatial dimensions.
The potential of heavy quarks as probes of the environment produced in hadronic and heavy-ion reactions is discussed. A key role is played by coalescence processes and/or resonance formation which are promising candidates to provide a…
In this presentation I will primarily focus on top quark physics but I will include a discussion of the W-boson mass and the possibility of discovering a light Higgs boson via associated production at the Tevatron.
The existence of stable multiquarks made of heavy quarks and antiquarks is discussed in the framework of potential models. It is stressed that the few-body problem should be handled seriously and accurately. No bound state is found within…
Two topics are briefly reviewed in this talk: the decay of flavored hadrons or quarkonium states involving a baryon--antibaryon pair, and the spectroscopy of heavy baryons containing one, two or three heavy quarks. Some prospects for exotic…
Many of the classic problems of particle physics appear in a very different light when viewed from the perspective of the multiverse. Most importantly the two great ``fine tuning'' problems that motivate the field are far less serious when…
Some interesting heavy-flavor questions are mentioned that may yield to the methods of lattice QCD. Special emphasis is placed on topics which arise in the discussion of CP violation in $B$ decays. Other subjects include quarkonium and…
A possibility of existence of ultra-heavy (quasi)stable particles, mechanisms leading to their large life-time, their production in the early universe, and cosmological manifestations are reviewed.
I give a personal account of the development of the field of heavy quarks. After reviewing the experimental discovery of charm and bottom quarks, I describe how the field's focus shifted towards determination of CKM elements and how this…
We report on a lattice investigation of heavy meson interactions and of tetraquark candidates with two very heavy quarks. These two quarks are treated in the static limit, while the other two are up, down, strange or charm quarks of finite…
Some of the new developments in the theory of heavy ion collisions are reviewed. Much of the last progress have been triggered by the high energies available at RHIC. In the near future, the LHC will extend the energy reach in heavy ions by…
A review on theoretical aspects of top quark physics at the Linear Collider is given with focus on the process $e^+e^-\to t\bar t$ and the presentations given at this conference.
Results of analytical calculations for heavy quark systems in higher orders of perturbation theory are overviewed. I discuss baryons with one finite mass quark in the next-to-leading order and heavy quark pair production near the threshold…
As the most recently discovered and heaviest quark, the top presents us with theoretical challenges. How are we to understand its properties within the larger effort to explain the origins of electroweak and flavor symmetry breaking ? This…
We apply effective field theory techniques to study several heavy quark systems. The topics analysed include the singlet static QCD potential, anomalous dimensions in SCET and a comprehensive study of semi-inclusive radiative heavy…

Introductory lectures (delivered at the VI Mexican School of Particles and Fields) on heavy quarks and heavy quark effective field theory. Applications to inclusive semileptonic decays and to interactions with light mesons are covered in…
This proceeding broadly overviews the current landscape of heavy exotic spectroscopy. Such work includes the composition of certain X, Y , and Z states, and proceeds to discuss tetraquarks made exclusively of four quarks.
