The novel successes scored by the Standard Model of High Energy Physics in the last few years concerning heavy flavour dynamics do not weaken the case for `New Physics' around the TeV scale. They do suggest however that one cannot {\em…
Flavour physics represents one of the most interesting and, at the same time, less understood sector of the Standard Theory. On the one hand, the peculiar pattern of quark and lepton masses, and their mixing angles, may be the clue to some…
I discuss the role of lattice QCD in testing the Standard Model and searching for physics beyond the Standard Model in the quark flavor sector. I first review the Standard Model CKM framework. I then present the current status of the CKM…
In recent years the precision of lattice calculations has improved hugely, and the results are making a very significant impact in particle physics phenomenology. Indeed there is no alternative general method which can be used in the…
\lhcb is one of the four major experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (\lhc) at CERN. It is custom built to look for CP violation and New Physics in rare decays of heavy flavour hadrons, like the B and D systems. Rare decays that occur…
We study the intersection of flavour and collider physics for Two-Higgs-Doublet models of Type I and II. Drawing from the flavour precision-LHC exotics search complementarity, we also provide a projection of the future sensitivity that can…
After reviewing some of the mathematical foundations and numerical difficulties facing lattice QCD, I review the status of several calculations relevant to experimental high-energy physics. The topics considered are moments of structure…
In this decade, the exploration of CP violation is governed by the B-meson system, where non-leptonic decays play an outstanding role. To set the stage, we have first a look at the main strategies to circumvent the calculation of the…
The possible role of precision flavour physics, and particularly of B physics, in the next decade is briefly discussed. Few 2--3$\sigma$ deviations from the Standard Model found in present $B$ data are reviewed as potential forerunners of…
This talk reviews some of the theoretical progress and outstanding issues in QCD, flavour physics, Higgs and electroweak physics and the search for physics beyond the Standard Model at the Tevatron and the LHC, and previews some physics…
The search for lepton flavour violation in charged lepton decays is highly sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model. Among the possible processes, $\mu$-decays are considered to have the largest discovery potential in most of the…
Charmless B hadrons decays offer rich opportunities to test the Standard Model. CP violation in charmless charged two-body and three-body B decays provides ways to measure the CKM angle $\gamma$ and to search for New Physics. Also,…
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will open a new era in high energy physics. The expected large cross section for heavy flavour production in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 14 TeV will allow detailed studies of the production…
