Non-Leptonic Heavy Meson Decays - Theory Status

Abstract

I briefly review the status and recent progress in the theoretical understanding of non-leptonic decays of beauty and charm hadrons. Focusing on a personal selection of topics, this covers perturbative calculations in quantum chromodynamics, analyses using flavour symmetries of strong interactions, and the modelling of the relevant hadronic input functions.

Presented at the 2014 Flavor Physics and CP Violation (FPCP-2014), Marseille, France, May 26-30 2014, 13 pages, 2 figures
