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” …

Precise measurements of the lepton properties provide stringent tests of the Standard Model
and accurate determinations of its parameters. We overview the present status of τ physics …

We discuss the impact of the recent O (α s 3) calculations of the semileptonic width of the b
quark and of the relation between pole and kinetic heavy quark masses by Fael et al. on the …

A bstract We present the first determination of V cb from inclusive\(B\to {X} _c\ell {\overline
{v}} _ {\ell}\) using moments of the dilepton invariant mass, q 2. These moments are …

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 …

This biennial Review summarizes much of particle physics. Using data from previous
editions, plus 2158 new measurements from 551 papers, we list, evaluate, and average …

A bstract We present an ab initio study of inclusive semileptonic decays of heavy mesons
from lattice QCD. Our approach is based on a recently proposed method, that allows one to …

Experimental studies of neutron decay, n→ pe ν¯, exhibit two anomalies. The first is a 8.6
(2.1) s, roughly 4 σ difference between the average beam measured neutron lifetime, τ n …

The fourth edition of this well-established, highly regarded two-volume set continues to
provide a fundamental introduction to advanced particle physics while incorporating …

A detailed discussion is given of the analysis of recent data to obtain improved upper
bounds on the couplings| U e 4| 2 and| U μ 4| 2 for a mainly sterile neutrino mass eigenstate …
