Proceedings of the SUNY Institute of Technology Conference on Theoretical High Energy Physics : June 6, 2002, [Utica, N.Y

Nine papers from a June 2002 conference describe recent research on optimal RG-improvement of perturbative calculations in QCD, scalar mesons and related radiative decays, Gaussian sum rules, and possible applications of chiral Lagrangians in QCD sum-rules. Other topics include magnetic catalysts and anisotropic confinement in QCD, supersymmetry in Anti de Sitter space, CP-violation in charm, and recent QCD-related issues in B-physics.
