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 …

We review the current status of heavy-quark symmetry and its applications to weak decays of
hadrons containing a single heavy quark. After an introduction to the underlying physical …

When one or more quarks are heavy compared to hadronic scales, some new symmetries
appear in the low energy effective lagrangian for QCD. We exploit these static quark …

I construct a Lorentz invariant effective field theory description of QCD in the presence of
heavy quarks at energies large compared to the QCD scale and small compared to the …

We present an extension of our earlier observations on symmetries in operation in the weak
decays of heavy mesons containing a single heavy quark. The new symmetries allow us to …

We provide a rigorous basis for factorization for a large class of non-leptonic two-body B-
meson decays in the heavy-quark limit. The resulting factorization formula incorporates …

Baryon chiral perturbation theory is developed using an effective lagrangian in which the
baryons appear as heavy static fields. The chiral logarithmic corrections to the axial current …

To measure matrix elements involving heavy quarks on the lattice, including ƒ B and the B
meson decay constant, the dependence on the heavy quark mass must first be extracted …

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 …

Understanding the physics of heavy quarks gives physicists a unique opportunity to test the
predictions of quantum chromodynamics and the Standard Model. This introductory text …
