Combined results on b-hadron lifetimes, b-hadron production rates, B^0_d - \bar{B^0_d} and B^0_S - \bar{B^0_s} oscillations, the decay width difference between the mass eigenstates of the B^0_s - \bar{B^0_s} system, the average number of c…
We present results on semileptonic B decays obtained with the BABAR detector. The large data set accumulated at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B-Factory allows a new measurement technique, where the hadronic decay of one B meson is fully…
We study a decay rate asymmetry of the top quark in the supersymmetric standard model, taking into account the constraints from the electric dipole moments of the neutron and the electron. One CP-violating phase contained in the…
Some recent CDF results on heavy quarks (mainly $b$) are presented, including baryon masses and lifetimes, CP violation in charmless baryon decays, $B_c$ production, $A_{FB}$ at high $m(b \bar b)$, and excited $B$ mesons. Typographic…
The latest measurements of the masses and lifetimes of weakly decaying $B$~hadrons from experiments at $e^+e^-$ and $p\bar{p}$ colliders are presented. These measurements include the lifetimes of the $\bar{B}^0$, $\bar{B}^0_s$, $B^-$, and…
Using the next-to-leading order low energy effective Hamiltonian, the CP asymmetries for the $B_{c}$ meson decays into meson pair are calculated in the spectator approximation. We do not compute the hadronic matrix elements directly,…
The special features of CP violation in the Standard Model are presented. The significance of measuring CP violation in B, K and D decays is explained. The predictions of the Standard Model for CP asymmetries in B decays are analyzed in…
I report recent measurements in b-hadron decays reconstructed in the full data set of \sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV proton-antiproton collisions collected by the CDF experiment at the Tevatron. These include the final CDF results on: measurements of…
I discuss a number of the highlights in theory presented at the BCP3 conference. These included new, and more stringent, CKM fits; a critical overview of heavy hadron lifetimes; progress in computing rates and CP-asymmetries in charmless…
We discuss two problems in the theory of heavy-quark decays: an understanding of the semileptonic branching ratio of $B$ mesons, and of the lifetime ratio $\tau(\Lambda_b)/\tau(B^0)$. We also present a model-independent study of spectator…
We review recent advances in the theory of strong-interaction effects and final-state interactions in hadronic weak decays of heavy mesons. In the heavy-quark limit, the amplitudes for most nonleptonic, two-body B decays can be calculated…
We review recent experimental results on hadronic decays and lifetimes of hadrons containing b and c quarks. We discuss charm counting and the semileptonic branching fraction in B decays, the color suppressed amplitude in B decay, and the…
We summarize theoretical calculations of B_c decays and lifetime in the framework of QCD sum rules and compare the results with the estimates by the methods of Operator Product Expansion in the inverse heavy quark masses as well as of…
Four topics in theory of CP violation are reviewed. (a) CP violation in $B$ decays: We describe a new clean way of constraining the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle and how new CP violation in decay amplitudes can signal new…
Precision measurements of time-integrated CP violation in beauty decays permit a better understanding of the different mechanisms underlying CP violation. They allow to better constrain the Standard Model and probe for new physics. A…
We review the status of bottom quark physics at the CDF experiment. The measurements reported are based on about 110 pb-1 of data collected at the Fermilab Tevatron pp= Collider operating at sqrt{s} = 1.8 TeV. In particular, we review…
We study CP violating B decays in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with R-parity violation. We estimate how much R-parity violation modifies the SM predictions for CP asymmetries in B decays within the present bounds. The effects…
CP violation from physics beyond the Standard Model is investigated in $B_{l4}$ decays: $B\to D\pi l\bar{\nu}_l$. The semileptonic $B$-meson decay to a $D$-meson with an emission of single pion is analyzed with heavy quark effective theory…
CP violation in $B$ decays is reviewed in the Standard Model (SM) and beyond the SM. The present explanation of CP violation in terms of a phase in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix can be tested through a variety of CP asymmetries…
Recent progress in the theory of B-meson decays is reviewed with emphasis on the aspects related to the B-factory data.
