Experimental results on hadronic structures are discussed in view of our physics understanding. Achievements and challenges are noted.
I discuss three B physics results with potential for exhibiting new flavour-changing interactions: (1) the time-dependent CP asymmetry in B\to J/\psi K_S decay; (2) branching fractions and CP asymmetries in B\to \pi\pi, \pi K decays; (3)…
The study of b-hadrons made possible a great number of benchmark results in flavour physics. In recent years a lot of effort in understanding their dynamics has been done. These studies can represent a possible avenue for the discovery of…
Concerning new physics beyond the Standard Model we explore the discovery and analysis potentials of polarized (hadronic) experiments and we compare with the unpolarized case. For discovery, beam polarization is helpful in the case of…
