Flavour Physics and CP Violation in the SM

Abstract

We review the main aspects of Flavour Physics and CP Violation in the Standard Model. After presenting a grand view of the field including a Master Formula for weak decays we discuss i) Standard analysis of the unitarity triangle, ii) The ratio epsilon'/epsilon, iii) Rare decays K^+ -> pi^+ nu barnu and K_L -> pi^0 nu barnu, iv) CP violation in B decays and v) Models with Minimal Flavour Violation. Our review ends with 20 questions that hopefully will be answered in the coming years.
