Although searches for new physics at the CERN Large Hadron Collider will probably dominate the the agenda of the experimental high energy physics community during the next decade or more, high-intensity experiments at the tau-charm and…
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.
Precision determinations of the flavour sector allow the search for indirect new physics signatures. At the forefront of these studies are the determinations of interference of new physics with known $\upDelta F=1$ and $\upDelta F=2$…
