Within the Standard Model, a review of the current determination of the sides and angles of
the CKM unitarity triangle is presented, using experimental constraints from the …

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 …

We calculate the two-loop QCD anomalous dimension matrix (ADM)(γ ̂ (1)) NDR in the
NDR–MS scheme for all the flavour-changing four-quark dimension-six operators that are …

We compute on the lattice the``bag''parameters of the five ΔB= 2 operators of the
supersymmetric basis, by combining their values determined in full QCD and in the static …

The dispersion approach based on the constituent quark picture and its applications to weak
decays of heavy mesons are reviewed. Meson interaction amplitudes are represented within …

We present results for f B, f B s, f D, f D s and their ratios in the presence of two flavors of light
sea quarks (N f= 2). We use Wilson light valence quarks and Wilson and static heavy …

We present results of quenched lattice calculations of the matrix elements relevant for B d− B
d and B s− B s mixing in the standard model. Results for the corresponding SU (3)-breaking …

I review the current status of lattice calculations of the properties of bound states containing
one or more heavy quarks. Many of my remarks focus on the heavy-light leptonic decay …

▪ Abstract Lattice quantum chromodynamics provides first-principles calculations for hadrons
containing heavy quarks—charm and bottom quarks. Their mass spectra, decay rates, and …

We determine hadronic matrix elements relevant for the mass and width differences, Δ M s
and Δ Γ s, in the B s 0-B¯ s 0 meson system using fully unquenched lattice QCD. We employ …
