Results from LEP on heavy quark physics
Description
The study of hadronic decays of the Z at the LEP e+e- collider offers new opportunities for Heavy Quark Physics. For the first time the coupling of c,b quarks to the Z can be precisely measured providing an important test of the Standard Model. In addition fundamental properties of b hadrons, such as B0-bar B0 mixing and lifetimes, can be measured with large samples of high purity Z → b bar b decays. In this review the author will present results from LEP experiments after one year of LEP operation. Most of the results are preliminary and based on integrated luminosities of a few picobarns. Nevertheless they represent an excellent start for Heavy Quark Physics at LEP
