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 report a measurement of the branching fraction ratios R (D (*)) of B¯→ D (*) τ-ν¯ τ
relative to B¯→ D (*) ℓ-ν¯ ℓ (where ℓ= e or μ) using the full Belle data sample of 772× 10 6 …

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 …

Describing the fundamental theory of particle physics and its applications, this book provides
a detailed account of the Standard Model, focusing on techniques that can produce …

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 …

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 …

We present the predictions of the ISGW2 model, an update of the ISGW quark model for
semileptonic meson decays. The updated model incorporates a number of features which …

The differential decay spectrum d Γ d E edq 2 for the semileptonic decay of an unpolarized
hadron containing ab quark and the decay spectrum d Γ d E edq 2 d cos θ for polarized Λ b …

The analytic relation between the MS and the pole quark masses is computed to O (α s3) in
QCD. Using this exact result, the accuracy of the large β0 approximation is critically …
