I1.00001: Lattice QCD: A Tool for Flavor Physics Invited Speaker: For many years, numerical lattice gauge theory has promised, some day, to provide a tool for calculating hadronic properties \emph{ab initio} from QCD. This talk argues, in three parts, that that day is here. First, we recall recent success in lattice QCD, reproducing well-measured masses, mass splittings, and light-meson decay constants. Second, we present a handful of \emph{pre}dictions, and their subsequent confirmation by experiment, designed to test our methods. Third, we survey the status and prospects of lattice-QCD calculations needed to understand flavor physics. [Preview Abstract] |

I1.00002: The New Charmonium Resonances Invited Speaker: The charmonium states - resonances made of a charmed quark and a charmed antiquark - have for thirty years represented the simplest strongly interacting system. To a good approximation these states could be understood as non-relativistic bound states with a static potential. The spin-dependent effects could be understood as simple perturbations. Coupling to the continuum of true charmed states provided a refinement. Discoveries at the B-factories and at the Tevatron collider have changed all this. I review these discoveries, the difficulties in describing them within the canonical picture, and possible non-canonical explanations. [Preview Abstract] |

I1.00003: Recent Results from CLEO-c Invited Speaker: The CLEO-c experiment at Cornell University has completed its second year of running. We report on recent results in QCD physics obtained by CLEO-c from data taken in the charmonium and charm meson regions, and by her predecessor experiment, CLEO-III, from data taken at the bottomonium resonances. Particular attention will be paid to comparisons with Lattice Gauge calculations of relevant quantities. Among the experimental results that will be presented are measurements of charm meson decay constants and semileptonic decays, non-$D\bar{D}$ decays of $\psi(3770)$, and heavy quarkonium leptonic widths, masses and hadronic decays.
