Résumé

This book provides an introduction to, and overview of the latest developments in theory and experiments relevant to the physics of heavy flavours, particularly that of the b quark. Important background material on the Standard Model, CP Violation, Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics and Kaon decay experiments is included. The level is suitable for junior postdoctoral researchers and postgraduate students in particle physics. B-factories at SLAC and KEK started producing high quality results in 2001, and the Tevatron is also running, while preparations for B physics at the LHC continue. The book reviews the field thoroughly from both experimental and theoretical perspectives. Chapters are written by international experts and the whole book has been carefully edited to provide a coherent account of the field.
