▪ Abstract Recent achievements in heavy-quark theory are critically reviewed. The emphasis
is put on those aspects that either did not attract enough attention or cause heated debates …

Using a theoretical framework based on the next-to-leading-order QCD-improved effective
Hamiltonian and a factorization ansatz for the hadronic matrix elements of the four-quark …

Exclusive semileptonic B decays into excited charmed mesons are investigated at order Λ
QCD/m Q in the heavy quark effective theory. Differential decay rates for each helicity state …

Theoretical predictions for inclusive semileptonic B decay rates are rewritten in terms of the
ϒ (1 S) meson mass instead of the b quark mass, using a modified perturbation expansion …

Theoretical predictions for B decay rates are rewritten in terms of the Υ (1 S) meson mass
instead of the b quark mass, using a modified perturbation expansion. The theoretical …

In light of the large amount of new experimental data, we revisit the determination of| V cb|
and mb from inclusive semileptonic and radiative B decays. We study shape variables to …

We report a theoretical analysis of the exclusive nonleptonic decays of the B±and B 0
mesons into two light mesons, some of which have been measured recently by the CLEO …

We compute the order 1/mb 3 nonperturbative contributions to the inclusive differential B→ X
cl ν decay rate. They are parametrized by the expectation values of two local and four …

This report provides a comprehensive overview of the prospects for B physics at the
Tevatron. The work was carried out during a series of workshops starting in September …
