We compute perturbative QCD corrections to the lifetime splitting between the charged and neutral $B$ meson in the framework of the heavy quark expansion. These next-to-leading logarithmic corrections are necessary for a meaningful use of…

Heavy-quark effective theory (HQET) is applied to lattice QCD with Wilson fermions at fixed lattice spacing a. This description is possible because heavy-quark symmetries are respected. It is desirable because the ultraviolet cutoff $1/a$…

In the context of the observed decay $B \rightarrow K^* \gamma$ the applicability of the Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET), treating both b and s as heavy quarks, is examined. We show that the heavy s-quark approximation, as can be found…

The application of the tensor formalism of the heavy quark effective theory (HQET) at leading order to strong decays of heavy hadrons is presented. Comparisons between experimental and theoretical predictions of ratios of decay rates for B…

Lifetimes of the doubly heavy baryons ${\cal B}_{bb}$ and ${\cal B}_{bc}$ are analyzed within the framework of the heavy quark expansion (HQE). Lifetime differences arise from the spectator effects such as $W$-exchange and Pauli…

Over the last few years a theoretical treatment for the weak decays of heavy-flavour hadrons has been developed that is genuinely based on QCD. Its methodology is described as it applies to total lifetimes, and the underlying theoretical…

A few topics on the expansion in heavy quark mass are discussed. The theoretical framework is the Wilson Operator Product Expansion rather than the Heavy Quark Effective Theory.

The dressed heavy quark mass \hat{m}_Q=m_Q+\bar{{\Lambda}} with \bar{{\Lambda}} being the binding energy is introduced to characterize the heavy hadrons containing a single heavy quark. A heavy quark expansion in terms of the inverse of the…

We investigate the heavy-quark expansion (HQE) for inclusive semileptonic $\bar{B}$ decays, at tree level, by computing the fully differential decay rate up to order $\mathcal{O}(\Lambda_{\rm QCD}^5/m_b^5)$. We provide analytic results for…

In this talk we review recent perturbative and non-perturbative developments in Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET).

Heavy quark expansion can nicely explain the lifetime of $\Lambda_{b}$. However, there still exist sizable uncertainties from the four-quark operator matrix elements of $\Lambda_{b}$ in $1/m_{b}^{3}$ corrections, which describe the…

We give an introduction to Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET). Our emphasis is on its formulation non-perturbative in the strong coupling, including the non-perturbative determination of the parameters in the HQET Lagrangian. In a second…

We present a new lattice determination of some of the parameters appearing both in the Operator Product Expansion (OPE) analysis of the inclusive semileptonic $B$-meson decays and in the Heavy Quark Expansion (HQE) of the pseudoscalar (PS)…

Achievements in the heavy quark theory over the last decade are reviewed, with the main emphasis put on dynamical methods which quantify nonperturbative effects via application of the Operator Product Expansion. These include the total weak…

We discuss lattice artifacts for matrix elements of hadrons containing one or more heavy quark. In particular, we analyze interrelations between lattice artifacts and the $1/m_Q$ expansion. The implications for calculations of heavy-light…

In this series of lectures the basic ideas of the $1/m_Q$ expansion in QCD ($m_Q$ is the mass of a heavy quark) are outlined. Applications to exclusive and inclusive decays are given.

We discuss the lifetime pattern of weakly decaying heavy hadrons.

We proposed a new formulation for heavy quark effective theory (HQET), whose Lagrangian is hermitian and has a manifest reparameterization invariance. As an application, we calculated the semileptonic and nonleptonic inclusive heavy hadron…

Heavy-light mesons, heavy quarkonium and doubly heavy baryons are briefly discussed. Effective field theories (EFTs) of QCD based on the heavy quark mass expansion 1/m_Q provide a unified framework to describe all three systems. They…

We calculate the dimension-six $\Delta Q=0$ four-quark matrix elements describing heavy-meson lifetime ratios using the gradient flow with its short flow-time expansion as a renormalization procedure. On six RBC/UKQCD 2+1-flavor domain-wall…
