We re-evaluate the prompt atmospheric neutrino flux, using the measured charm cross sections at RHIC and the Large Hadron Collider to constrain perturbative QCD parameters such as the factorization and renormalization scales, as well as modern parton distribution functions and recent estimates of the cosmic-ray spectra. We find that our result for the prompt neutrino flux is lower than...

I review recent results on charmonium spectroscopy from Lattice QCD. For charmonia well below open charm threshold results from recent determinations controlling all systematic uncertainties will be presented. For states close to and above open charm threshold I review recent exploratory calculations aimed at both conventional and exotic XYZ states.

For the last ten years, lattice gauge theory calculations have played a critical role in making possible some of the measurements of the flavor physics program. I describe the role that lattice calculations have played in determining the elements of the CKM quark mixing matrix, and the role that that has played in the search for physics beyond the standard model in the CKM matrix. I also...

From the Tevatron and the LHC data, it is clear that current models for the heavy quarkonium production are not able to explain the polarization of heavy quarkonia produced at large transverse momentum pT in p+p collisions. A new approach to evaluate the heavy quarkonium production, by expanding the cross section in powers of 1/pT before the expansion in powers of alpha_s, was proposed...
