Recent Developments in Soft-Collinear Effective Theory
  Soft-collinear effective theory provides a systematic theoretical framework to describe the factorization of short- and long-distance QCD dynamics in hard-scattering processes that contain both, soft and energetic particles/jets. I present a short guide to recent theoretical achievements and to phenomenological applications in heavy B-meson decays.
