Description
Abstract: I will discuss two related problems in the beauty sector of QCD: the b-quark mass and its determinations and the extraction of decay constants of beauty mesons. In particular, two recent puzzles will be addressed: 1. A tension between mb(mb) as extracted from heavy-heavy and heavy-light QCD correlation functions. 2. Unexpected results on fB* / fB which suggests that our understanding of the heavy-quark expansion might be insufficient.
