44 44/44 Summary of lecture 1 B-quark hadrons have been studied for about 30 years e+e- storage rings and hadronic machines have complemented each other Now B-factories and Tevatron b-hadron production and their basic properties are now known with an unprecedented level of detail Their study has helped develop and test QCD, even in nonperturbative regimes Detailed measurements of neutral B meson mixing have become recently available for both species Find overall consistency with Standard Model In conjunction with CP violation measurements (next lecture) further confirm SM and limit possible new physics
