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 …

Most inclusive rare B decays are important modes of flavor physics due to the small hadronic
uncertainties. In this article, the author gives a status report on such decays, highlighting …

A bstract We present a detailed discussion of the current theoretical and experimental
situation of the anomaly in the angular distribution of B→ K*(→ Kπ) μ+ μ−, observed at LHCb …

A bstract Anomalies in semileptonic B-meson decays present interesting patterns that might
be revealing the shape of the new physics to come. Under the assumption that neutrino and …

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 …

Tests of lepton-universality as rate ratios in b→ s ℓ ℓ transitions can be predicted very
accurately in the Standard Model. The deficits with respect to expectations reported by the …

A bstract We critically reassess the theoretical uncertainties in the Standard Model
calculation of the B→ K∗ ℓ+ ℓ− observables, focusing on the low q 2 region. We point out …

We perform a systematic study of models involving leptoquarks and diquarks with masses
well below the grand unification scale and demonstrate that a large class of them is …

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 …

We calculate the long-distance effect generated by the four-quark operators with c-quarks in
the B→ K (*) ℓ+ ℓ− decays. At the lepton-pair invariant masses far below the\(\bar {c} c\) …
