Projecting measurements of the interactions of the known Standard Model (SM) states into
an effective field theory (EFT) framework is an important goal of the LHC physics program …

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 …

A systematic study is made of the non-perturbative effects in quantum chromodynamics. The
basic object is the two-point functions of various currents. At large Euclidean momenta q the …

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” …

Recent experimental results on D-, D s-and B-decays are interpreted on the basis of the
valence quark model. For nonleptonic decays generally good results are obtained using …

A simple renormalization framework to carry out practical calculations in the SU (2) L× U (1)
theory is discussed. The basic counterterms associated with the mass matrix of the gauge …

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 …

Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is a quantum field theory of the strong interaction with
non-abelian gauge fields mediating the interactions between quarks. The experimentally …

There is some theoretical uncertainty in the predictions for CP-violating hadronic
asymmetries in neutral-B decays to CP eigenstates due to the existence of penguin …

Afther the discovery of J/ψ and ψ′ mesons many other narrow resonances were found
which represent various levels of a system called charmonium. In this review theoretical …
