  2. Why B spectroscopy? • We are not looking for New Physics (but may find subtle discrepancy…) • Standard Model is extraordinary. Deserves thorough elucidation. • B-quark discovered in 1977. Wealth of b-mesons is found. Only one b-baryon well established so far. • Effective theories derived from QCD needed for dynamical understanding: HQET • mc,mb,mt> LQCD >> mu, md, ms  Heavy Quark Symmetry • HQET extensively tested for Qq systems; interesting to check predictions for Qqq systems E.Vataga - Latest results on b-spectroscopy from CDF
