This report describes the physics case, the resulting detector requirements, and the evolving
detector concepts for the experimental program at the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). The EIC …

We overview the current status and future perspectives of the QCD-based method of light-
cone sum rules. The two main versions of these sum rules, using light-meson and B-meson …

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 …

We give a factorization formula for the e+ e-thrust distribution d σ/d τ with τ= 1-T based on
the soft-collinear effective theory. The result is applicable for all τ, ie in the peak, tail, and far …

We study a Lagrangian formalism that avoids double counting in effective field theories
where distinct fields are used to describe different infrared momentum regions for the same …

We calculate the main observables in B u, d→(ρ, ω, K*) γ and B s→(K¯*, ϕ) γ decays, ie
branching ratios and CP and isospin asymmetries. We include QCD factorization results and …

The B-meson distribution amplitude is calculated using QCD sum rules. In particular we
obtain an estimate for the integral relevant to exclusive B decays λ B= 460±110 MeV at the …

A bstract We reconsider the QCD predictions for the radiative decay B→ γℓν ℓ with an
energetic photon in the final state by taking into account the 1/E γ, 1/mb power-suppressed …

We compute the e+ eC-parameter distribution using the soft-collinear effective theory with a
resummation to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading-log prime accuracy of the most singular …

Heavy-to-light transition form factors at large recoil energy of the light meson have been
conjectured to obey a factorization formula, where the set of form factors is reduced to a …
