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,…

We give a brief overview and progress report on our lattice QCD calculation of neutral B mixing hadronic matrix elements needed for Standard Model and Beyond the Standard Model physics. Reference [1] contains more details and results.

I report on developments in the experimental and phenomenological understanding of the rare decays of mesons containing b and c quarks, especially as they pertain to the understanding of the CKM matrix and the testing of the standard model.…

Lattice QCD calculations in charm and bottom physics are particularly important because they can provide the hadronic weak decay matrix elements needed for key constraints on the CKM Unitarity Triangle. I will summarise recent results in…

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…

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 have systematically investigated the semi-inclusive B decays $B\to MX$, which are manifestations of the quark decay $b \to Mq$, within a framework inspired by QCD-improved factorization. These decays are theoretically clean and have…

Some aspects of $B$ physics relevant for experiments in hadron colliders are discussed. These include the determination of parameters of the CKM Matrix and confirmation of its role in CP violation, studies of mixing of nonstrange and…

Recent experimental measurements and lattice QCD calculations are now reaching the precision (and accuracy) needed to over-constrain the CKM parameters $\bar\rho$ and $\bar\eta$. In this brief review, I discuss the current status of lattice…

We discuss the exclusive radiative decays $B\to K^{*}\gamma$, $B \to\rho\gamma$, and $B\to\omega\gamma$ in QCD factorization within the Standard Model. The analysis is based on the heavy-quark limit of QCD. Our results for these decays are…

The phenomenon of $B^0_q$-$\bar{B}^0_q$ mixing ($q=d,s$) provides a sensitive probe for physics beyond the Standard Model. We have a careful look at the determination of the Unitarity Triangle apex, which is needed for the Standard Model…

Radiative decays of the B meson are known to provide important constraints on the MSSM and many other realistic new physics models in the sub-TeV range. The inclusive branching ratio BR(B -> Xs gamma) being the key observable is currently…

These lectures present the phenomenology of B meson decays and their impact on our understanding of CP violation in the quark sector, with an emphasis on measurements made at the e+e- B factories. Some of the relevant theoretical ideas such…

The recent measurements of the B_s meson mixing amplitude by CDF and of the leptonic branching fraction BR(B to tau nu) by Belle call for an upgraded analysis of the Unitarity Triangle in the Standard Model. Besides improving the previous…

In decay modes $B^0 \to D_s^{(*)+} D_s^{(*)-}$ and $B_s^0 \to D^{(*)+} D^{(*)-}$, none of quarks in final states is the same as one of $B$ meson. They can occur only via annihilation diagrams in the Standard Model. In the heavy quark limit,…

Measurements of many Standard Model constants are clouded by uncertainties in nonperturbative QCD parameters that relate measurable quantities to the underlying parton-level processes. Generally these QCD parameters have been obtained from…

We consider the exclusive B_s -> phi mu+ mu- process in the standard model using a constituent quark loop model approach together with a simple parameterization of the quark dynamics. The model allows to compute the decay form factors and…

In this decade, B-decay experiments will allow stringent tests of the Standard-Model description of CP violation. After a classification of the main strategies and a discussion of the most recent results on benchmark decay modes of $B^\pm$…

$B_d$ and $B_s$ meson systems play a fundamental role to test and improve our understanding of Standard Model flavor dynamics. The mixing parameters $\Delta m_{d,s}$ represent important constraints in the unitarity triangle analysis. Their…

We present an analysis of the rare exclusive $B$ decays $B\to K\nu\bar\nu$ and $B\to K^{*}\nu\bar\nu$ within the Standard Model (SM), in a model-independent manner, and in a number of new physics (NP) models. Combining new form factor…
