Recent results from the H1 and ZEUS collaborations on hard QCD processes in ep interactions are reviewed. The topics cover jet shapes, the structure of real and virtual photons, and the production of J/Psi mesons and open charm.
I briefly review the status and recent progress in the theoretical understanding of non-leptonic decays of beauty and charm hadrons. Focusing on a personal selection of topics, this covers perturbative calculations in quantum…
We review the prospects of measurements of the CKM matrix elements corresponding to the first two generations of quarks, as well as measurements of leptonic and semileptonic charm meson decays at LHCb. We review the status of searches for…
We calculate several differential distributions for the production of charm and dijets. Both single-parton scattering (SPS) and double-parton scattering (DPS) contributions are calculated in the $k_T$-factorization approach. The…
Recent measurements of J/psi production in e^+ e^- colliders pose a challenge to the NRQCD factorization theorem for quarkonium production. Discrepancies between leading order calculations of color-octet contributions and the momentum…
After a short presentation of the event generator EPOS, we discuss the production of heavy quarks and prompt photons which has been recently implemented. Whereas we have satisfying results for the charm, work on photons is still in…
We study the production of charmonia and charmed hadrons for nucleus-nucleus collisions at SPS, RHIC, and LHC energies within the framework of the statistical hadronization model. Results from this model are compared to the observed…
To provide focus to my review of charm theory at the B-Physics and CP-Violation conference, I consider theoretical issues related to possible charm studies at B-factories. A few topics of interest to the author are stressed -- rare decays,…
We summarize the status of electromagnetic probes of strongly interacting matter produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at CERN-SPS with respect to indications of chiral symmetry restoration. Explorative results for studying the open…
Both dilepton and charm production at RHIC are considered to be important signatures for Quark-Gluon Plasma production. Recently it was argued by S.Gavin, P.L.McGaughey,P.V. Ruuskanen and R.Vogt that the background from semileptonic…

We discuss the impact of the planned upgrades of the HERA collider on the study of open heavy flavour and quarkonium production. New experimental techniques in charm physics are presented.
I give a personal account of the development of the field of heavy quarks. After reviewing the experimental discovery of charm and bottom quarks, I describe how the field's focus shifted towards determination of CKM elements and how this…
With various experiments studying heavy-ion collisions a demand exists in the hadron physics community for theoretical predictions of hadronic properties at temperatures and densities far from equilibrium. In this work we will study the…
A brief update is given on recent developments in the theory of exclusive semileptonic charm decays. A check on analyticity arguments from the kaon system is reviewed. Recent results on form factor shape measurements are discussed.
Recent results on physics in the charm energy region are reviewed. (1) The new data and puzzles in exclusive hadronic decays of $J/\psi$ and $\psi'$ give new challenges to the theory of hadronic decays. (2) With the new observation for…
Charm procceses are usually not considered to be favorable candidates in the search for new physics. Recent disagreement between experimental and lattice QCD results on the D_s decay constant has motivated us to systematically reinvestigate…
Several high energy experiments have been actively pursuing the analyses of semileptonic decays of charm mesons, resulting in numerous new results and publications. In this report, we summarize the recent efforts on the topics of…
The talk is a mini-review of the current status of the field, with emphasis on SPS heavy ion program, now and beyond 2000 (as asked by the organizers). The main question is, of course, whether we can convince ourselves and the community at…
To write a review on charm decays is not an easy task because of the large amount (fortunately!) of experimental results in the recent years. I was forced to make a selection of topics. I am going to discuss with the eyes of an…
