We report recent measurements from CLEO of the first two moments of the photon energy spectrum for b -> s gamma decays and the hadronic recoil mass in B -> X_c l nu. These physical quantities allow one to fix non-perturbative parameters…
B mesons are bound states of a b quark and a light anti-quark. While the binding is provided by the strong interaction B mesons can only decay by the weak interaction. Since the top quark mass is large, B mesons are the only mesons…
The BELLE detector has already accumulated e^+ e^- collision data at the KEKB-collider corresponding to 600 fb^-1. BaBar has accumulated data of approximately 390 fb^-1 at PEP-II. Both are running on asymmetric energy e^+ e^- colliders at…
Along with the running of Large Hadron Collider (LHC) located at CERN in November 2009, a large number of data samples of $B_c$ meson have been collected and some hadronic $B_c$ decay modes have been measured by the LHC experiments. In view…
We present an improved comparison of the strong coupling of the gluon to light (q_l=u+d+s), c, and b quarks, determined from multijet rates in flavor-tagged samples of hadronic Z0 decays recorded with the SLC Large Detector at the SLAC…
Recent results on heavy flavor spectroscopy from the CDF and D0 experiments are reported in this contribution. Using up to 1 fb-1 of accumulated luminosity per experiment, properties of X(3872), excited B** states, and the B_c meson are…
Measurements of $CP$ observables in $B^{\pm} \rightarrow D K^{*\pm}$ decays are presented, where $D$ denotes a superposition of $D^0$ and $\overline{D^0}$ meson states. Decays of the $D$ meson to $K^{-}\pi^{+}$, $K^{-}K^{+}$,…
It is well known that New Physics can contribute to weak decays of heavy mesons via virtual processes during its decays. The discovery of New Physics, using such decays is made difficult due to intractable strong interaction effects needed…
The measured $\bar{B}\to D^{(*)} l \bar\nu$ decay rates for light leptons ($l=e,\mu$) constrain all $\bar{B}\to D^{(*)}$ semileptonic form factors, by including both the leading and ${\cal O}(\Lambda_{\text{QCD}}/m_{c,b})$ subleading…
We present an overview of rare K, D and B decays. Particular attention is devoted to those flavour-changing neutral-current processes of K and B mesons that offer the possibility of new significant tests of the Standard Model. The…
The ability of present and future experiments to test the Standard Model in the $B$ meson sector is described. We examine the loop effects of new interactions in flavor changing neutral current $B$ decays and in $Z\to b\bar b$,…
Some recent $\tau$-physics results are presented from the BaBar and Belle experiments at the SLAC and KEK B factories, which produce copious numbers of $\tau$-lepton pairs. Measurements of the tau mass and lifetime allow to test lepton…
We present the proceedings of the lectures given at the 2008 Helmholtz International Summer School Heavy Quark Physics at the Bogoliubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics in Dubna. In two lectures we present recent results from the existing…
This proceeding summarizes recent measurements of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements $|V_{cb}|$ and $|V_{ub}|$ at the Belle and Belle~II experiments. It provides insights derived from both exclusive and inclusive…
We discuss some recent lattice results on a few selected hadronic quantities relevant for heavy flavour phenomenology and present some recent theoretical developments. We put the emphasis on the challenges, which have to be faced, on the…
Until now, the Cabibbo Kobayashi Maskawa matrix element, $|V_{cb}|$, has always been measured in $B$ decays, i.e.~at an energy scale $q_b\sim \frac{m_b}{2}$, far below the weak scale. We consider here the possibility of measuring it close…
The first measurement of the magnitude of the CKM quark mixing matrix element $|V_{cb}|$ using on-shell $W$-boson decays is presented. The measurement is made with $t\bar{t}$ events from $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated…
We study in this work the two-body hadronic charmed meson decays, including both the PP and VP modes. The latest experimental data are first analyzed in the diagrammatic approach. The magnitudes and strong phases of the flavor amplitudes…
We report a new measurement of the CKM parameter V_ub made with a sample of 9.7 million B B-bar events collected with the CLEO II detector. Using Heavy Quark theory, we combine the observed yield of leptons from semileptonic B decay in the…
Many topics are discussed in b physics including lifetimes, decay mechanisms, determinations of the CKM matrix elements |V_{cb}| and |V_{ub}|, facilities for b quark studies, neutral $B$ meson mixing, rare b decays, hadronic decays and CP…
