In this workshop we will cover theoretical and experimental aspects of lifetimes of heavy hadrons. Theory aspects include perturbative contributions to the free-quark decay, to 2-quark contributions (i.e. kinetic operator, chromomagnetic operator, Darwin operator,...) and to 4-quark contributions as well as non-perturbative contributions. The latter ones can be determined by lattice QCD studies, sum rule calculations and fits of inclusive semilpetonic decays. Experimental aspects include....
