We review a number of results for the spectrum and inclusive decays of heavy quarkonium systems which can be derived from QCD under well controlled approximations. They essentially follow from the hierarchy of scales in these systems, which…
In the context of the observed decay $B \rightarrow K^* \gamma$ the applicability of the Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET), treating both b and s as heavy quarks, is examined. We show that the heavy s-quark approximation, as can be found…
A mini-review of the heavy mass expansion in QCD is given. We focus on exclusive semileptonic decays and some topics of recent interest in inclusive decays of heavy hadrons.
The recent theoretical progress in the description of semileptonic decays in the framework of the heavy mass expansion is summarized. Both inclusive and exclusive decays are considered.
We apply Heavy Quark Effective Theory to the production of $0^-$ and $1^-$ $Q\bar{q}$ states in $e^+ e^-$ annihilation. We show that HQET implies that the electric quadrupole amplitudes vanish and we propose tests for this theory. We also…

Rapid thermalization in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions leads to fast changing potential between a heavy quark and antiquark from zero temperature potential to the finite temperature one. Time dependent perturbation theory can then…

Heavy-light mesons, heavy quarkonium and doubly heavy baryons are briefly discussed. Effective field theories (EFTs) of QCD based on the heavy quark mass expansion 1/m_Q provide a unified framework to describe all three systems. They…
The 1/m corrections to heavy baryon masses are calculated from the QCD sum rules within the framework of the heavy quark effective theory. Numerical results for the heavy baryons are obtained. The implications of the results are discussed.
I present a more refined analysis of the mass-splittings between the different heavy quarkonia states, using {\it new double ratios} of exponential moments of different two-point functions. Then, I test the validity of the $1/m$-expansion,…
Strong decays of vector ($^3S_1$) mesons to the pair of pseudoscalar ($^1S_0$) mesons are considered in the framework of the microscopic decay mechanism and the relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential approach. The…
We construct an effective Lagrangian for the hadronic decays of a heavy excited $s$-wave-spin-one quarkonium into its ground state. We show that reasonable fits to the measured invariant mass spectra in the $J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon$ systems…
We discuss various topics in the theory of heavy baryon decays. Among these are recent applications of the Relativistic Three Quark Model to semileptonic, nonleptonic, one-pion and one-photon transitions among heavy baryons, new higher…
The existing derivations of a heavy quark effective theory (HQET) are analyzed beyond the next-to-leading order in $1/m$. With one exception they are found to be incorrect. The problem is a wrong normalization of the heavy quark field in…
