The heavy quark effective theory (HQET) and the heavy quark expansion (HQE) have developed into the standard tools in heavy-flavour physics. The lectures in this chapter introduce the basics of the approach and illustrates the methods by discussing some of their phenomenological applications. The chapter covers construction of the HQET Lagrangian, symmetries of HQET, HQET at one loop, and HQET applications to phenomenology. It also discusses HQE inclusive decays, operator product expansion (OPE), tree-level results, HQE parameters, QCD corrections, and end-point regions. It concludes by reiterating the enormous impact that both HQET and the HQE have had on particle physics phenomenology.

A mechanism explaining a strong enhancement of nonleptonic weak decays was suggested in 1975, later to be dubbed the penguin. This mechanism extends Wilson's ideas about the operator product expansion at short distances and reveals an intricate interplay of subtle features of the theory such as heavy quark masses in Glashow–Iliopoulos–Maini cancellation, light quarks shaping the chiral properties of QCD, etc. The penguins have subsequently evolved to play a role in a variety of fields in present-day particle phenomenology. I will describe the history of this idea and review its subsequent development. The recent measurement of direct CP violation in K decays gives a new confirmation of the penguin mechanism.

Abstract The high energy Operator Product Expansion for the product of two electromagnetic currents is extended to the sub-eikonal level in a rigorous way. I calculate the impact factors for polarized and unpolarized structure functions, define new distribution functions, and derive the evolution equations for unpolarized and polarized structure functions in the flavor singlet and non-singlet case.

Abstract The Operator Product Expansion is a useful tool to represent correlation functions. In this note we extend Conformal Regge theory to provide an exact OPE representation of Lorenzian four-point correlators in conformal field theory, valid even away from Regge limit. The representation extends convergence of the OPE by rewriting it as a double integral over continuous spins and dimensions, and features a novel “Regge block”. We test the formula in the conformal fishnet theory, where exact results involving nontrivial Regge trajectories are available.
