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” …

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 spectra and electromagnetic decay rates of charmonium, bottomonium, and B c
mesons are comprehensively investigated in the relativistic quark model. The presence of …

We present precision corrections to dispersion relation bounds on form factors in bottom
hadron semileptonic decays and analyze their effects on parametrizations derived from …

During 2011 the LHCb experiment at CERN collected 1.0 fb− 1 of s=7~TeV pp collisions.
Due to the large heavy quark production cross-sections, these data provide unprecedented …

Using pp collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 8.5 fb-1 recorded by the
LHCb experiment at center-of-mass energies of s= 7, 8, and 13 TeV, the observation of an …

A bstract A search for charged Higgs bosons (H±) decaying into a top and a bottom quark in
the all-jet final state is presented. The analysis uses LHC proton-proton collision data …

We report the ground state masses of hadrons containing at least one charm and one
bottom quark using lattice quantum chromodynamics. These include mesons with spin (J) …

We present non-perturbative, model-independent parametrizations of the individual QCD
form factors relevant to B→ D∗ l ν and B→ Dl ν decays. These results follow from dispersion …

A search for excited states of the B c±meson is performed using 4.9 fb-1 of 7 TeV and 19.2 fb-
1 of 8 TeV pp collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. A new state is …
