Heavy Flavor Physics - Proceedings Of The Seventh International Symposium

This text constitutes the proceedings of the Seventh International Symposium on Heavy Flavor Physics, which focused primarily on the physics of bottom and charmed quarks. There were also sessions on the top quark and the tau lepton.

The physics of heavy flavors is a very active area of research in experimental and theoretical high energy physics. A number of heavy flavor experiments at new or upgraded accelerators are just coming on line to address some of the most fundamental questions of particle physics, e.g. matter-anti-matter asymmetry (CP violation).The Seventh International Symposium on Heavy Flavor Physics focused primarily on the physics of bottom and charmed quarks, but there were also sessions on the top quark and the tau lepton. It presented a great opportunity to take stock of the field on the eve of the new era in heavy flavor physics which will be opened up by the next generation of experiments.
