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 …

The mass spectrum for the system (c) is considered in the framework of potential models for
the heavy quarkonium. Spin-dependent splittings, with account taken of the change of a …

An introduction to the method of QCD sum rules is given for those who want to learn how to
use this method. Furthermore, we discuss various applications of sum rules, from the …

The form factors parametrizing the B c semileptonic matrix elements can be related to a few
invariant functions if the decoupling of the spin of the heavy quarks in B c and in the mesons …

In the framework of three-point QCD sum rules, the form factors for the semileptonic decays
of B c+→ B s (B s∗) l+ ν l are calculated with account for the Coulomb-like αs/v-corrections in …

In the framework of potential models for heavy quarkonium the mass spectrum for the system
(bc) is considered. Spin-dependent splittings taking into account a change of a constant for …

In the covariant light-front quark model, we investigate the form factors of B c decays into D,
D*, D s, D s*, η c, J/ψ, B, B*, B s, and B s* mesons. The form factors in the spacelike region …

The semileptonic Bc-meson decays into the heavy quarkonia J/ψ (ηc) and a pair of leptons
are investigated in the framework of three-point sum rules of QCD and NRQCD. Calculations …

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 …

Motivations and perspectives for the studies of the mesons of the (bc) family at LHCb are
discussed. The description of production and decays at LHC energies is given in detail. The …
