B decays in and beyond the standard model are reviewed. I specifically discuss right-handed B decays, rare B decays, B_c decays, B_s-B_s(bar) mixing, and T violation. (Plenary talk given at the `Workshop on B Physics at Hadron…
After pointing out the amazing success of the CKM description in accommodating the phenomenology of flavour changing neutral currents I review the status of theoretical technologies for extracting CKM parameters from data. I sketch novel…
We review the status of the theory and phenomenology of heavy-quark symmetry, exclusive weak decays of $B$ mesons, inclusive decay rates and lifetimes of $b$ hadrons, and CP violation in $B$-meson decays.
In this decade, the exploration of CP violation is governed by the B-meson system, where non-leptonic decays play an outstanding role. To set the stage, we have first a look at the main strategies to circumvent the calculation of the…
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,…
Some theoretical aspects of $B$ physics are reviewed. These include a brief recapitulation of information on weak quark transitions as described by the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix, a description of CP asymmetries in $B$ decays to…
We review and update the effects of physics beyond the standard model on CP asymmetries in B decays. These asymmetries can be significantly altered if there are important new-physics contributions to \bqbqbar mixing. This same new physics…
These notes are a written version of a lecture given at the International Seminar {\it Modern Trends and Classical Approach} devoted to the 80$^{th}$ anniversary of Prof. Karen Ter-Martirosyan, ITEP September 30 -- October 1, 2002. The…
CP violation in B decays provides a powerful tool to probe physics from beyond the Standard Model. A theoretical overview of recent developments of benchmark channels is given, ranging from non-leptonic to rare leptonic and semileptonic…
CP violation in the field of $B$ physics is a crucial topic for exploring the quark sector and search for New Physics, both for theorists and experimentalists. CP violation manifests itself in various ways and in this presentation, we will…
In these lectures I review what has been learned from studies of b-quark decays, including semileptonic decays ($V_{ub}$ and $V_{cb}$), $B^o-\overline{B}^o$ mixing and rare B decays. Then a discussion on CP violation follows, which leads to…
We review the highlights of quark mixing, particle-antiparticle mixing, CP violation and rare K- and B-decays in the Standard Model. The top quark discovery, the precise measurement of its mass, the improved knowledge of the couplings…
The B-meson system is an interesting probe for the exploration of strong interactions, the quark-flavour sector of the Standard Model, and the search for new physics. In this programme, non-leptonic B decays, which are particularly…
The standard CKM model can be tested and New Physics detected using only CP-violating phase measurements in B decays. This requires the measurement of a phase factor which is small in the Standard Model, in addition to the usual large…
In this decade, there are huge efforts to explore B-meson decays, which offer interesting probes to test the quark-flavour structure of the Standard Model and to search for signals of new physics. Exciting new perspectives for these studies…
We review the theory and phenomenology of heavy-quark symmetry, exclusive weak decays of B mesons, inclusive decay rates and lifetimes of b hadrons.
At the present time, there are a number of measurements of $B$-decay observables that disagree with the predictions of the standard model. These discrepancies have been seen in processes governed by two types of decay: (i) $b \to s \mu^+…
I review recent progresses in heavy quarks physics on the lattice. I focus on decay constants and form factors relevant for the extraction of CKM matrix elements from experimental data. B-\bar{B} mixing is also discussed. In the last part…
The exploration of the quark-flavour sector of the Standard Model is one of the hot topics in particle physics of this decade. In these studies, which show a fruitful interplay between theory and experiment, the B-meson system offers a…
A review is given of recent developments in the physics of flavor. Current constraints on the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix are discussed and related to the recent measurements of epsilon'/epsilon, sin(2beta) and K+ -> pi+ nu nubar. A…
