Abstract

I review the status of the modern theoretical approach to weak decays of heavy flavor hadrons based on the 1/mQ expansion in QCD. The qualitative features are explained and the subtleties in simultaneously incorporating perturbative and power-suppressed effects are addressed. A few topical phenomenological applications are discussed in quantitative detail.
