The potential between heavy quarks can be rigorously defined in a QCD effective field theories framework. I discuss the general situation when the coupling constant may not be considered small and provide an explicit expression for the…
In this Chapter QCD interactions between a quark and an anti-quark are discussed. In the heavy quark limit these potentials can be related to quarkonia and $1/m$ corrections can be systematically determined. Excitations of the ground state…
The strange quark mass is determined from a study of the correlator of the divergence of the strange vector current using a family of finite energy sum rules recently shown to be very accurately satisfied in the isovector vector channel. It…

We describe the effects of the strange quark mass and of the color and electric neutrality on the superconducing phases of QCD.
The status of lattice determinations of quark masses is reviewed (with the exception of m_b). Attempts to extract the low-energy constants in the effective chiral Lagrangian are discussed, with special emphasis on those couplings which are…
We show analytically that the QCD potential can be expressed, up to an O(Lambda_QCD^3 r^2) uncertainty, as the sum of a ``Coulomb'' potential (with log corrections at short distances) and a linear potential, within an approximation based on…
A formula for an improved spin--dependent potential between a heavy quark and a heavy antiquark was developed using Heavy Quark Effective Theory techniques. The leading logarithmic quark mass terms emerging from loop contributions were…
Dipole radiation in QCD is derived to the second order in $\alpha_s$. A power-like evolution of the spin-singlet heavy quark operators is obtained to the same accuracy. In particular, ${\cal O}(\alpha_s^2)$ relation between a short-distance…
We provide a fully analytical determination of the perturbative quark-antiquark static energy in position space as defined by a restricted Fourier transformation from momentum to position space. Such a determination is complicated by the…
A phenomenological estimate is derived such that the binding energies of dimesons are expressed as combinations of masses of different mesons and baryons. The estimate is almost model-independent, the only major assumptions being that the…

We determine the hard-loop resummed propagator in an anisotropic QCD plasma in general covariant gauges and define a potential between heavy quarks from the Fourier transform of its static limit. We find that the potential exhibits angular…
Positive powers of the mass parameter in a physical quantity calculated with the help of heavy quark effective theory originate from a Wilson coefficient in the matching of QCD and HQET Green function. We show that this mass parameter…
