Investigations of B hadrons are expected to break new ground in measuring CP-violation effects. This series of BEAUTY conferences, originating from the 1993 conference in Liblice, has contributed significantly in developing ideas of…
The starting point of these lectures is an introduction to the weak interactions of quarks and the Standard-Model description of CP violation, where the central role is played by the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix and the corresponding…
These are the proceedings of the experimental overview of the production of open heavy flavor at the international conference Strangeness in Quark Matter 2016. Instead of a comprehensive overview, I focus on a few topics which the reader…
Studying heavy flavour physics is driven by multiple motivations: to probe our theoretical control over QCD; enhance our information on gluon and sea quark structure functions; use heavy flavour production as signal for the onset of the…
We summarize and discuss some of the experimental and theoretical results on heavy flavor, quarkonia, and electro-weak probes presented at Quark Matter 2012.
My assignment at this conference is to assess where we are in high-energy physics and speculate on where we might be going. This frees me from any obligation to summarize all that went on here and allows me to talk just about those topics…
We present a short overview of the so-called flavour anomalies, discussing their significance and the connections with QCD issues discussed at the HADRON 2023 conference.
The coming flavour precision era will allow to uncover various patterns of flavour violation in different New Physics scenarios. We discuss different classes of them. A simple extension of the Standard Model that generally introduces new…
These lectures review the progress made in our present understanding of $B$ decays. The emphasis here is on applications of QCD to $B$ decays and the attendant perturbative and non-perturbative uncertainties, which limit present theoretical…
In the last decade, huge progress in experimentally measuring and theoretically understanding flavor physics has been achieved. In particular, the accuracy in the determination of the CKM elements has been greatly improved, and a large…
Precision measurements of flavour observables provide powerful tests of many extensions of the Standard Model. This contribution covers a range of flavour measurements of $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ transitions, several of which are in tension…

The purpose of these lectures is to provide the reader with an idea of how we can probe New Physics with quark flavour observables using effective theory techniques. After giving a concise review of the quark flavour structure of the…
The most recent results on CP violation and mixing in the charm system are reviewed as a guide to the future. While no surprising results are reported so far, charm provides a unique window to physics beyond the Standard Model. The results…
Top quark physics continues to be an exciting and fast moving research area. The large statistics provided by the LHC are allowing us to measure processes never observed before and to develop new methods to improve the precision for the…
Flavour physics plays a central role in the search for physics beyond the Standard Model, posing fundamental questions whose answers may point to new physics scales far above the electroweak scale. The flavour structure of the Standard…

This is a written version of a series of lectures aimed at graduate students in particle theory/string theory/particle experiment familiar with the basics of the Standard Model. We explain the many reasons for the interest in flavour…
I present a review of current and near-future experimental investigations of CP violation. In this review, I cover limits on particle electric dipole moments (EDMs) and CP violation studies in the K and B systems. The wealth of results from…
This superbly organized workshop invited the participants to focus on four outstanding questions in weak interactions: i) is the electroweak model correct at the quantum level? ii)supersymmetry? iii) neutrino mass? iv) what is the nature of…
