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 …

Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory of quarks and gluons, whose interactions can be
described by a local SU (3) gauge symmetry with charges called “color quantum numbers” …

We construct the Lagrangian for an effective theory of highly energetic quarks with energy Q,
interacting with collinear and soft gluons. This theory has two low energy scales, the …

The factorization of soft and ultrasoft gluons from collinear particles is shown at the level of
operators in an effective field theory. Exclusive hadronic factorization and inclusive partonic …

We construct an effective field theory valid for processes in which highly energetic light-like
particles interact with collinear and soft degrees of freedom, using the decay B→ X s γ near …

A bstract We extract| V cb| from the available data in the decay B→ D (∗) ℓν ℓ. B→ D∗ ℓν ℓ,
the unfolded binned differential decay rates of four kinematic variables including the q 2 bins …

A certain pattern of divergence of perturbative expansions in quantum field theories, related
to their small and large momentum behaviour, is known as renormalons. We review formal …

In a recent publication (Abdesselam et al. arxiv: 1608.02344), the Belle collaboration
updated their analysis of the inclusive weak radiative B-meson decay, including the full …

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 …

The series Lecture Notes in Physics (LNP), founded in 1969, reports new developments in
physics research and teaching-quickly and informally, but with a high quality and the explicit …
