The quark model was formulated in 1964 to classify mesons as bound states made of a
quark–antiquark pair, and baryons as bound states made of three quarks. For a long time all …

We review lattice results related to pion, kaon, D-meson, B-meson, and nucleon physics with
the aim of making them easily accessible to the nuclear and particle physics communities …

A bstract Stringent relations between the B (∗)→ D (∗) form factors exist in the heavy quark
limit and the leading symmetry breaking corrections are known. We reconsider their …

We reexamine the determination of| V cb| from B→ D l ν in view of recent experimental and
theoretical progress, discussing the parameterization of the form factors and studying the …

The inspiration for this book came from François le Diberder. During his term as
spokesperson for B 八 B 八 R he laid down a vision for the two B Factory detector …

For many decades after the invention of the quark model in 1964 there was no evidence that
hadrons are formed from anything other than the simplest pairings of quarks and antiquarks …

We review lattice results related to pion, kaon, D-and B-meson physics with the aim of
making them easily accessible to the particle-physics community. More specifically, we …

We highlight the progress, current status, and open challenges of QCD-driven physics, in
theory and in experiment. We discuss how the strong interaction is intimately connected to a …

We use recent Belle results on B¯ 0→ D⁎+ l− ν¯ l decays to extract the CKM element| V cb|
with two different but well-founded parameterizations of the form factors. We show that the …

For very heavy quarks Q, relations derived from heavy-quark symmetry predict the existence
of novel narrow doubly heavy tetraquark states of the form Q i Q jq¯ kq¯ l (subscripts label …
