Hadronic Effects in Two-Body B decays

Abstract

In these lectures I discuss the impact of soft hadronic physics on predictions for B decays. Unfortunately our tools for calculating these effects are limited; even after the use of the best available tools the resulting theoretical uncertainties are difficult to delimit, and can obscure tests for the presence of beyond-Standard-Model physics. The first lecture reviews what tools are available, the second reviews in more detail two examples of how these tools can be used.

Lectures presented at the XXVII SLAC Summer Institute on Particle Physics, July 7-16, 1999
