This article reports world averages of measurements of b -hadron, c -hadron, and τ -lepton properties obtained by the Heavy Flavor Averaging Group using results available through summer 2016. For the averaging, common input parameters used in the various analyses are adjusted (rescaled) to common values, and known correlations are taken into account. The averages include branching fractions, lifetimes, neutral meson mixing parameters, C P  violation parameters, parameters of semileptonic decays, and Cabbibo–Kobayashi–Maskawa matrix elements.

This paper reports world averages of measurements of b-hadron, c-hadron, and τ-lepton properties obtained by the Heavy Flavour Averaging Group using results available through September 2018. In rare cases, significant results obtained several months later are also used. For the averaging, common input parameters used in the various analyses are adjusted (rescaled) to common values, and known correlations are taken into account. The averages include branching fractions, lifetimes, neutral meson mixing parameters, CP violation parameters, parameters of semileptonic decays, and Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa matrix elements.

Heavy-flavour physics is an essential component of the particle-physics programme, offering critical tests of the Standard Model and far-reaching sensitivity to physics beyond it. Experiments such as LHCb, Belle II, and BESIII drive progress in the field, along with contributions from ATLAS and CMS. The LHCb Upgrade II and upgraded Belle II experiments will provide unique and highly sensitive measurements for decades, playing a key role in the searches for new physics. Future facilities with significant heavy-flavour capabilities will further expand these opportunities. We advocate for a European Strategy that fully supports Upgrade II of LHCb and an upgrade of Belle II, along with their subsequent exploitation. Additionally, we support a long-term plan that fully integrates flavour physics in an \\(e^+e^-\\) collider to run as a \\(Z\\) factory.

This paper reports world averages of measurements of \\(b\\)-hadron, \\(c\\)-hadron, and \\(\\tau\\)-lepton properties obtained by the Heavy Flavour Averaging Group using results available before April 2021. In rare cases, significant results obtained several months later are also used. For the averaging, common input parameters used in the various analyses are adjusted (rescaled) to common values, and known correlations are taken into account. The averages include branching fractions, lifetimes, neutral meson mixing parameters, CP violation parameters, parameters of semileptonic decays, and Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements.

The mini-proceedings of the STRONG2020 Virtual Workshop \"Space-like and Time-like determination of the Hadronic Leading Order contribution to the Muon \\(g-2\\)\", November 24--26 2021, are presented. This is the first workshop of the STRONG2020 WP21: JRA3-PrecisionSM: Precision Tests of the Standard Model (http://www.strong-2020.eu/joint-research-activity/jra3-precisionsm.html). The workshop was devoted to review of the working group activitity on: \\((\\it i)\\) Radiative Corrections and Monte Carlo tools for low-energy hadronic cross sections in \\(e^+ e^-\\) collisions; \\((\\it ii)\\) Annotated database for \\(e^+e^-\\) into hadrons processes at low energy; \\((\\it iii)\\) Radiative Corrections and Monte Carlo tools for \\(\\mu\\)-\\(e\\) elastic scattering.

The Heavy Flavor Averaging Group provides this Letter of Interest (LOI) as input to the Snowmass 2021 Particle Physics Community Planning Exercise organized by the Division of Particles and Fields of the American Physical Society. Research in heavy flavor physics is an essential component of particle physics, both within and beyond the Standard Model. To fully realize the potential of this field, we advocate strong support within the U.S. high energy physics program for ongoing and future experimental and theory research in heavy flavor physics.

A fabrication technology has been developed at ITC-irst (Trento, Italy) for the realisation of silicon microstrip detectors with integrated front-end electronics, to be used in high-energy physics and space experiments as well as in medical/industrial imaging applications. The main technological issues are addressed, and experimental results from the electrical characterisation of the first prototype batch are reported, showing that good quality transistors are obtained within the proposed technology while preserving the basic detector parameters.
