Recent progress in the theory of B-meson decays is reviewed with emphasis on the aspects related to the B-factory data.
We review many of the recently developed applications of Heavy Quark Effective Theory techniques. After a brief update on Luke's theorem, we describe striking relations between heavy baryon form factors, and how to use them to estimate the…
Semileptonic and nonleptonic decays of the B_c meson are studied in the framework of the relativistic quark model. The heavy quark expansion in inverse powers of the heavy (b,c) quark mass is used to simplify calculations while the light…
Recent theoretical investigations of two-body hadronic B decays have provided justification for the use of the factorization ansatz to evaluate the B decay matrix elements. Motivated by this, we present simplified formulae for a wide range…
We apply effective field theory techniques to study several heavy quark systems. The topics analysed include the singlet static QCD potential, anomalous dimensions in SCET and a comprehensive study of semi-inclusive radiative heavy…
These lectures contain an elementary introduction to heavy quark symmetry and the heavy quark expansion. Applications such as the expansion of heavy meson decay constants and the treatment of inclusive and exclusive semileptonic B decays…
I review the status of the modern theoretical approach to weak decays of heavy flavor hadrons based on the 1/m_Q expansion in QCD. The qualitative features are explained and the subtleties in simultaneously incorporating perturbative and…
I consider nonleptonic decays of B mesons into two light mesons using the light-cone wave functions for the mesons. In the heavy quark limit, nonfactorizable contributions are calculable from first principles in some decay modes. I review…
We consider an effective field theory for the nonleptonic decay in which a heavy quark decays into a pair of a heavy quark and antiquark having a small relative velocity and one relativistic (massless) quark. This effective theory is a…
A brief summary of outstanding theoretical issues and recent results from the QCD factorization approach to exclusive hadronic B decays is provided.
The energetic exclusive two-body nonleptonic decays of B mesons are investigated in the framework of the relativistic quark model within the factorization approximation. The heavy quark expansion is used for the calculation of form factors.…
We discuss various topics in the theory of heavy baryon decays. Among these are recent applications of the Relativistic Three Quark Model to semileptonic, nonleptonic, one-pion and one-photon transitions among heavy baryons, new higher…
The method of QCD sum rules has proven to be particularly useful in heavy quark physics, where a small distance scale is provided by the inverse heavy quark mass. We present two new examples for the application of this method to B-physics:…
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.
Soft-collinear effective theory provides a systematic theoretical framework to describe the factorization of short- and long-distance QCD dynamics in hard-scattering processes that contain both, soft and energetic particles/jets. I present…
I give a brief outline of the theoretical framework for the modern treatment of the strong interaction effects in heavy quark decays, based on first principles of QCD. This model-independent approach is required to meet the precision of…
In a mini workshop on B Physics which were held at Dalian, China, a number of lectures was given. Around 40 participants joined the workshop. In this workshop, people discussed the heavy quark effective field theory, light cone QCD sum…
A short overview of theoretical methods for B physics at hadron colliders is presented. The main emphasis is on the theory of two-body hadronic B decays, which provide a rich field of investigation in particular for the Tevatron and the…
We discuss systems containing a heavy quark and a heavy antiquark in the infinite mass limit of QCD. Studying the limit of equal velocities for both heavy particles, we formulate an effective theory approach to heavy quarkonia-like systems.…
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.
