Heavy quarkonium hybrids are studied in an effective field theory framework. Coupled and uncoupled Schr\"odinger equations are obtained for different quantum numbers of the hybrid states. The results are discussed and compared to other…
We convey an idea of the significant recent progress, which opens up good perspectives for high-precision ab-initio computations in heavy flavour physics based on lattice QCD. Rather than surveying the latest results, this contribution…
In this talk, I discuss some recent results obtained in Heavy Ion Collisions and what they tell us -- or what questions they raise -- about the physics of the system of quarks and gluons formed in these collisions.
We review the physics of heavy quark and quarkonium production in high energy hadronic collisions. We discuss the status of the theoretical calculations and compare the current results with the most recent measurements from the Tevatron…
We give a brief overview of recent results obtained through the gauge/gravity correspondence, concerning the propagation of a heavy quark in strongly-coupled conformal field theories (such as N=4 super-Yang-Mills), both at zero and finite…
QCD is the accepted (that is, the effective) theory of the strong interaction; studies at colliders are no longer designed to establish this. Such studies can now be divided into two categories. The first involves the identification of…
We show how heavy quark effective theory, including 1/M corrections, may be matched onto dynamical quark models by making a specific choice of K,m and v in the p=mv+K expansion. We note that Wigner rotations of heavy quark spins arise at…

Within an effective field theory framework we study heavy-quark--antiquark systems with a typical distance between the heavy quark and the antiquark smaller than $1/\Lambda_{\rm QCD}$. A suitable definition of the potential is given within…

Quantum Chromodynamics, the microscopic theory of strong interactions, has not yet been applied to the calculation of nuclear wave functions. However, it certainly provokes a number of specific questions and suggests the existence of novel…
We discuss a number of novel applications of Quantum Chromodynamics to nuclear structure and dynamics, such as the reduced amplitude formalism for exclusive nuclear amplitudes. We particularly emphasize the importance of light-cone…
