The spectrum of baryons containing heavy quarks of one flavor is described in terms of representations of the group SU(2) X SU(6), where the two factor groups refer to spin rotations of the heavy quarks and spin-flavor rotations of the…

The meaning and the extraction of heavy quark masses are discussed. A simple production model is presented which incorporates the running of the heavy quark mass into perturbative calculations. The model offers the possibilities of (i)…
We investigate the flavour structure of generic extensions of the SM where quark and lepton mass hierarchies and the suppression of flavour-changing transitions originate only by the normalization constants of the fermion kinetic terms. We…

We study flavor changing processes $\Upsilon \to B/{\bar B} X_s$ and $J/\psi \to D/{\bar D} X_u$ in the B factories and the Tau-Charm factories. In the standard model, these processes are predicted to be unobservable, so they serve as a…

Recent issues in heavy flavour physics are reviewed. Anomalies in charmonium, $B$, and $\Upsilon(5S)$ decays and production are highlighted. New results concerning exotic heavy quark states are also briefly reviewed.
We introduce a set of clockwork models of flavor that can naturally explain the large hierarchies of the Standard Model quark masses and mixing angles. Since the clockwork only contains chains of new vector-like fermions without any other…
In this talk \footnote{Presented at ICHEP'98, Vancouver, CA, July 1998}, we present a recently suggested way on how to analytically incorporate massive threshold effects into observables calculated in massless QCD. No matching is required…
With the increasing experimental precision available at colliders, higher-order perturbative calculations are required to reduce the theory uncertainty in order to extract crucial QCD parameters, such as the strong coupling constant, to the…
