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…
The interplay of flavour and collider physics is entering a new era with the start-up of the LHC. During the past few years rare B decays and in particular b -> s gamma transitions have been extensively used and provided exciting…

Heavy flavor production at the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will allow us to precisely determine the quark/gluon fragmentation processes in vacuum and the nuclear medium especially within the poorly constrained kinematic region. Heavy…
Electric dipole moments and charged-lepton flavour-violating processes are extremely sensitive probes for new physics, complementary to direct searches as well as flavour-changing processes in the quark sector. Beyond the "smoking-gun"…

We study the feasibility of measuring time-dependent $C\!P$ violation in the rare flavor-changing neutral current (FCNC) decay $B_s^0 \rightarrow \phi(\rightarrow K^+K^-) \mu^+ \mu^-$ at the FCC-$ee$. In the Standard Model (SM), $C\!P$…
We study the potential impacts of a new type of particle collider -- an $e\mu$ collider -- on the search for new physics beyond the Standard Model. As our first attempt for exploring its physics potential, we demonstrate that the the $e\mu$…
The future lepton colliders proposed for the High Energy and Precision Frontier set stringent demands on theory. The most ambitious, broad-reaching and demanding project is the FCC-ee. We consider here the present status and requirements on…
Recent work on local F-theory models shows the potential for new categories of flavor models. In this paper we investigate the perturbative effective theory interpretation of this result. We also show how to extend the model to the neutrino…
The next 20 years will be the golden age of flavour physics, with the operation of the LHCb and Belle II experiments. After that an $e^+e^-$ collider could further improve the precision with sizeable $Z$, $W^+W^-$ and $t\bar{t}$ runs.
In this lecture, the physics potential for the e+e- linear collider experiments ILC and CLIC is reviewed. The experimental conditions are compared to those at hadron colliders and their intrinsic value for precision experiments,…
