Heavy Flavours

"Heavy Flavours is an excellent compilation of work on heavy flavor physics by investigators who have made major contributions to the field ... Other outstanding contributions include a detailed treatment of the mass prediction and the anticipated phenomenology of the top quark and an introduction to the heavy quark effective field theory recently pioneered by Isgur and Wise and its application to the physics of bottom quark systems. For the most part, the material covered in this book has not yet been incorporated into textbooks. Moreover, the authors clearly have intended their chapters to serve a pedagogical purpose. As a result, this volume will meet the needs of graduate students in particle physics as well as more senior particle theorists and experimentalists who wish to keep abreast of the most recent advances in heavy flavor physics."
