The Physics of the B Factories

Adrian John Bevan, +2005 more
TLDR
A brief description of the SLAC and KEK B Factories as well as their detectors, BaBar and Belle, and data taking related issues can be found in Part A of this book as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract
This work is on the Physics of the B Factories. Part A of this book contains a brief description of the SLAC and KEK B Factories as well as their detectors, BaBar and Belle, and data taking related issues. Part B discusses tools and methods used by the experiments in order to obtain results. The results themselves can be found in Part C. Please note that version 3 on the archive is the auxiliary version of the Physics of the B Factories book. This uses the notation alpha, beta, gamma for the angles of the Unitarity Triangle. The nominal version uses the notation phi_1, phi_2 and phi_3. Please cite this work as Eur. Phys. J. C74 (2014) 3026.

Nonstandard heavy mesons and baryons: Experimental evidence

TL;DR: Recently, a variety of QCD inspired phenomenological models have been proposed, such as meson-gluon hybrids and pentaquark baryons that contain heavy (charm or bottom) quarks as mentioned in this paper.

Averages of B-Hadron, C-Hadron, and tau-lepton properties as of early 2012

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report world averages of measurements of b-hadron, c-, c-, and tau-lepton properties obtained by the Heavy Flavor Averaging Group (HFAG) using results available through the end of 2011.

Multiquark Resonances

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the theoretical understanding of this sector of particle physics phenomenology and present some considerations attempting a coherent description of the so called X and Z resonances.

Exotics: Heavy pentaquarks and tetraquarks

TL;DR: In the last decade, there has been an explosion of data from both e+e− and hadron colliders, and many recently observed states that do not fit into this picture are called generically "exotics" as discussed by the authors.
