The standard model picture of flavor and CP violation is now experimentally verified, hence strong bounds on the flavor structure of new physics follow. We begin by discussing in detail the unique way that flavor conversion and CP violation…

Contact interactions are the low-energy footprints of New Physics, so ideally, constraints upon them should be as generic and model independent as possible. Hadron colliders search for four-quark contact interactions with incident valence…
If observed, charged lepton flavour violation is a clear sign of new physics - beyond the Standard Model minimally extended to accommodate neutrino oscillation data. After a brief review of several charged lepton flavour violation…
Flavour physics addresses some of the questions for which the Standard Model does not provide a satisfactory and complete answer: the origin of the replication of the fundamental constituents and of their mass hierarchy. This paper reviews…
This contribution contains a brief review of several scenarios for physics beyond the Standard Model at the energy scales accessible to experiments at the Tevatron and the LHC, focusing on their experimental signatures.
The Standard Model of particle physics explains many natural phenomena yet remains incomplete. Vectorlike quarks and leptoquarks lie at the heart of many extensions to the Standard Model seeking to address the hierarchy problem, or the…
Rare decays of heavy-flavoured particles provide an ideal laboratory to look for deviations from the Standard Model, and explore energy regimes beyond the LHC reach. Decays proceeding via electroweak penguin diagrams are excellent probes to…
Prospects for heavy flavour studies with the CMS and ATLAS detectors are presented. Many studies are aimed for early LHC data, taking advantage of the large $b$ production cross-section. Rare decay studies as the $B_s \to \mu^+\mu^-$ decay…
