We review the present status of QCD corrections to weak decays beyond the leading-
logarithmic approximation, including particle-antiparticle mixing and rare and CP-violating …

The authors review the experimental measurements and theoretical descriptions of leptonic
and semileptonic decays of particles containing a single heavy quark, either charm or …

We present an up-to-date profile of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix with emphasis
on the interpretation of recent CP-violation results from the B factories. For this purpose, we …

These lectures describe in detail the effective Hamiltonians for weak decays of mesons
constructed by means of the operator product expansion and the renormalization group …

We make the simple observation that there exists a universal unitarity triangle for all models,
like the SM, the Two Higgs Doublet Models I and II and the MSSM with minimal flavour …

Anticipating improved determinations of mt,‖ V ub/V cb‖, BK, and FB√ BB in the next five
years we make an excursion into the future in order to find a possible picture of the unitarity …

A comprehensive phenomenological analysis of a two Higgs doublet model, with flavor-
changing scalar currents at the tree level, called model III, is presented. Constraints from …

We revisit the issue of the limit on the scale of left-right symmetry breaking. We focus on the
minimal SU (2) L× SU (2) R× U (1) BL gauge theory with the seesaw mechanism and …

We report on a new approach to a global CKM matrix analysis taking into account most
recent experimental and theoretical results. The statistical framework (R fit) developed in this …

Abstract The Standard Model (SM) does not contain by definition any new physics (NP)
contributions to any observable but contains four CKM parameters which are not predicted …
