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…
Even in 2010 the CKM parameters $V_{cs}$, $V_{cd}$ and $V_{ub}$ will be known with less than desirable accuracy; the discovery potential for New Physics in charm decays -- in particular their CP asymmetries -- will be far from exhausted;…
I review recently completed (since Lattice 2013) and ongoing lattice calculations in charm and bottom flavor physics. A comparison of the precision of lattice and experiment is made using both current experimental results and projected…
Measurements of heavy flavor production and decay have featured prominently in the early results from the four large LHC experiments: ALICE, ATLAS, CMS, and LHCb. These results provide tests of QCD models in a new energy region and point…
