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” …

There is almost universal agreement among astronomers that most of the mass in the
Universe and most of the mass in the Galactic halo is dark. Many lines of reasoning suggest …

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 …

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 …

The rare decay B-> K*(-> K pi) mu+ mu-is regarded as one of the crucial channels for B
physics as the polarization of the K* allows a precise angular reconstruction resulting in …

We evaluate the relic density of the lightest neutralino, the lightest supersymmetric particle,
in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model. For the first time, we include …

The approximate symmetries of Quantum ChromoDynamics in the infinite heavy quark (Q=
c, b) mass limit (mQ→∞) and in the chiral limit for the light quarks (mq→ 0, q= u, d, s) can be …

We show—by explicit computation of first-order corrections—that the QCD factorization
approach previously applied to hadronic two-body decays and to form factor ratios also …

This biennial review summarizes much of Particle Physics. Using data from previous
editions, plus 1900 new measurements from 700 papers, we list, evaluate, and average …
