Description:This volume is a collection of review articles on the most outstanding topics in heavy flavour physics. All the authors have made significant contributions to this field. The book reviews in detail the theoretical structure of heavy flavour physics within the Standard Model and its confrontation with existing experimental data.The physics of the top quark and of the Higgs play an important role in this volume. Beginning with radiative electroweak corrections and their impressive tests at LEP and hadron colliders, the book summarizes the present status of quark mixing, CP violation and rare decays. The dynamics of exclusive "D"- and "B"-meson decays, the τ-lepton physics and the newly discovered heavy quark symmetries are discussed in detail. The impact of strong interactions on weak decays is clearly visible in many articles. The physics of heavy flavours at LEP, HERA and hadron colliders constitutes an important part of the book. Another significant topic is the possible role of heavy flavours in the spontaneous symmetry breaking of gauge symmetries. Finally the most recent advances in lattice calculations of the properties of heavy flavours and the lattice studies of the dynamics of heavy flavours are presented.Contents: Electroweak Radiative Corrections, "Mz," "Mw" and the Heavy Top "(W Hollik)"A Top Quark Story: Quark Mixing, CP Violation and Rare Decays in the Standard Model "(A J Buras & M K Harlander)"Rare Decays and CP Violation Beyond the Standard Model "(S Bertolini)"Heavy Quark Symmetry "(N Isgur & M B Wise)"Exclusive Weak Decays of B-Mesons "(M Neubert et al.)"Charmed Meson Decays "(S Stone)"Tau Physics "(A Pich)"Heavy Quark Physics from Lattice QCD "(C T Sachrajda)"Heavy Flavours in High Energy Electron-Positron Collisions "(J H K?hn & P M Zerwas)"Heavy Quark Production "(P Nason)"Top Quark Condensates and the Symmetry Breaking of the Electroweak Interactions "(W A Bardeen & C T Hill)"What is Special about a Very Heavy Top Quark?
