Recent developments in the theory of heavy quarks are reviewed. In the area of heavy quark fragmentation, there has been progress in the study of both pertubative and nonperturbative processes, including the identification of new observable…
Recent progress in the theory of B-meson decays is reviewed with emphasis on the aspects related to the B-factory data.
These lectures describe the most important theoretical methods in b-physics. We discuss the formalism of effective weak Hamiltonians, heavy quark effective theory, the heavy quark expansion for inclusive decays of b-hadrons and, finally,…
We illustrate the current status of heavy quark physics on the lattice. Special emphasis is paid to the question of systematic uncertainties and to the connection of lattice computations to continuum physics. Latest results are presented…
Recent achievements in the heavy quark theory are critically reviewed. The emphasis is put on those aspects which either did not attract enough attention or cause heated debates in the current literature. Among other topics we discuss (i)…
We review recent experimental and theoretical developments in inclusive semileptonic B -> Xc l nu decays. In particular, we discuss the determination of |Vcb| and of the heavy quark masses through fits based on the Operator Product…
Recent progress in the theory of hadrons containing a single heavy quark is reviewed. Particular attention is paid to those aspects that bear on the determination of the magnitudes of the Cabibbo--Kobayashi--Maskawa matrix elements $V_{cb}$…
We discuss recent theoretical progress in heavy-quark hadro-production, in particular focusing on processes involving charm-quarks, and on their implications in different fields of particle phenomenology, from collider to astroparticle…
To start the $b$-decay session we briefly introduce and comment some important theoretical tools which are currently used in $b$ physics. Heavy Quark Symmetry and its consequences for heavy to heavy and heavy to light semi-leptonic decays,…
The new approach to decays of heavy quarkonia, based on factorization and expansions in powers of the relative velocity of the valence quarks is reviewed.
The status of lattice calculations of some phenomenology of heavy quarks is presented. Emphasis is on progress made in calculating those quantities relevant to estimating parameters of the quark mixing matrix, namely leptonic decay…
The determination of $|V_{cb}|$ using inclusive and exclusive (semi-)leptonic decays exhibits a long-standing tension of varying ${\cal O}(3 \sigma)$ significance. For the inclusive determination the decay rate is expanded in $1/m_b$ using…
I review the recent progress in lattice QCD, which will be useful in heavy quark physics in the near future. Reviewing the theoretical developments in lattice QCD first, I focus our recent unquenched QCD with dynamical overlap fermion as…
A review over recent experimental progress in the physics of the fifth quark is given.
We review selected topics in the field of nonleptonic and rare B meson decays. We concentrate in particular on exclusive channels, discussing recent developments based on the concepts of factorization in QCD and the heavy-quark limit.
In this talk, we review the status of the associated production of a vector boson and heavy flavour quarks, and some recent theoretical developments. While some aspects of these multiscale processes are not yet completely under control, a…
Some recent developments in the heavy quark theory are briefly reviewed. The main emphasis is put on interrelation between HQET and OPE. The notion of duality and deviations from duality are discussed in detail.
In this contribution I review the physics of top quarks at a future Linear Collider. Main emphasis is put on the process e+ e- to ttbar close to threshold. Different physical observables, their sensitivity to the basic parameters and their…
I review the use of the Heavy Quark Effective Theory in the computation of total rates and differential kinematic distributions in inclusive semileptonic and radiative B decays. Particular attention is paid to strategies for the extraction…
