11. Hadronic fragmentation Figure 5.3: (a) String fragmentation in time-longitudinal phase-space by a set of new pairs (q¯q or q¯qq¯q) production, hadrons (mesons M and baryons B) form at the vertices; (b) the vertex V divides the n-body string fragmentation into two clusters that contain n1 and n2 hadrons with squared invariant masses s1 and s2.

12. R values and precision test of the Standard Model Figure 6.1: R had versus cms energy. Measurements are shown with statistical errors. The relative uncertainty assigned to the parameterization is shown as a band and given with numbers at the bottom (from Ref. [43]). Running of the EM coupling constant

13. Meson spectroscopy (Glue Balls) Figure 9.1: The mass spectrum of glueballs in pure SU(3) gauge theory. The masses are given both in terms of r0 (r −1 0 = 410MeV) and in GeV. The thickness of each colored box indicates the statistical uncertainty of the mass.

14. Meson spectroscopy (hybrids, multi-quarks, molecules) Figure 9.24: The η′π + π − invariant mass for J/ψ → γη′π + π −. The generated signals and backgrounds are normalized to 3 × 10 9 J/ψ events and are added incoherently.

15. Baryon spectrum Figure 10.3: Various pictures for internal quark-gluon structure of baryons: (a) qqq, (b) qqqg hybrid, (c) diquark, d) meson-baryon state, (e) pentaquark with diquark clusters.

16. Physics of soft pions (PCAC) Figure 11.7: The Kπ invariant mass recoiling against a K ∗. The crosses are data and histograms represent the PWA fit projection. The shaded area shows the κ contribution.

17. Non-Relativistic QCD Effective Field Theory (NRQCD) Table 13.1: Different recent determinations of m b (m b ) and m c (m c ) in the MS scheme from the bottomonium and the charmonium systems. The displayed results either use direct determinations or non-relativistic sum rules. Here and in the text, the ∗ indicates that the theoretical input is only partially complete at that order.

18. Charmonium Spectroscopy Figure 14.1: Predicted and observed spectrum of charmonium states (Table 14.2). The solid lines are experiment for reasonably well-established charmonium states.

19. Charmonium transitions Figure 15.4: Radiative transitions between charmonium states below the open charm threshold. Figure 15.5: Hadronic transitions of ψ′ to other charmonium states.

20. Radiative decays; Alpha(S) Figure 17.1: Direct contributions in the weak coupling regime. The solid green line corresponds to the calculation for the central region at NLO, which should be reliable up to z < 0.7. The blue dot-dashed line corresponds to the calculation for the upper end-point region, which is expected to provide a reasonable model for 0.7 < z < 0.9. The red dashed line is the curve obtained by merging.

21. D 0 − D 0 Mixing Figure 25.1: Standard Model box diagrams of flavor-changing neutral currents contributing to D 0 − D 0 mixing at the quark level.

22. CP and T Violation Table 26.1: Measurements of CP violating asymmetries in neutral D decays in different modes.
