Abstract

▪ Abstract We review recent experimental results on lifetimes and on hadronic decays of hadrons that contain c and b quarks. The theoretical implications of these results are also considered. An understanding of hadronic decays of heavy quarks is required to interpret the charge-parity–violating asymmetries in B decays that will be observed in experiments planned for the near future.
