Abstract

I report on investigations of physics beyond the Standard Model using experiments designed to investigate bb quark and cc quark interactions. Generalized searches involving loop diagrams using heavy meson mixing and CP violation experiments imply limits on New Physics (NP) at large scales from 100-100,000 TeV. There are ways of avoiding these limits, but satisfying their requirements puts severe restrictions on NP properties. Specific constraints on NP models are discussed from individual measurements including b-> s gamma, Bs->mu+ mu-, B0 -> K* l+ l-, and CP violation in the B0 and Bs systems. Hints of deviations from Standard Model predictions from other decays including B- -> tau- nu, and B->D(*)tau- nu$\ are investigated. Finally, searches for dark matter and Majorana neutrinos are reviewed.
