We consider the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model and determine the range of parameters for which CP violation and Flavor Changing Neutral Current effects are naturally small. It corresponds to small values of the mass parameter m_{12}^2, describing…
The present status of CP violation in decays of neutral kaons is reviewed. In addition selected rare decays of both K and B mesons are discussed. The emphasis is in particular on observables that can be reliably calculated and thus offer…
Kaon flavour physics has played in the 1960s and 1970s a very important role in the construction of the Standard Model (SM) and in the 1980s and 1990s in SM tests with the help of CP violation in $K_L\to\pi\pi$ decays represented by…
Flavor changing neutral current and CP violating processes are discussed in the minimal supergravity model. The constraint on charged Higgs mass from the new measurement of the inclusive branching ratio of the $b\rightarrow s\gamma$ process…
The rare decays $K^0_L \to\mu^+\mu^-$ and $K^0_S \to\mu^+\mu^-$ have long been regarded as difficult channels to extract short-distance physics because they are dominated by long-distance contributions via two-photon exchanges. A…
There are strong similarities between charge-parity (CP) violating observables in hadronic $B$ decays (in particular $\Delta A^-_{\rm CP}$ in $B\to K\pi$) and direct CP violation in Kaon decays ($\epsilon^\prime$): All these observables are…
There exist experimental hints from the B sector for CP violation beyond the Standard Model (SM) CKM paradigm. An anomalous dimuon asymmetry was reported by the D0 collaboration, while tension exists between $B \to \tau \nu$ and $S_{\psi…
We review the present status of rare B decays, focusing on inclusive decay modes and their role in our search for new physics. We also briefly discuss direct CP violation in rare B decays and the rare kaon decays $K^+\to \pi^+\nu\bar{\nu}$…
Recently the Belle II Collaboration has reported a measurement of the $B^+\to K^+\nu\bar\nu$ rate that is higher than the standard-model expectation. Since the emitted neutrinos are unobserved, the excess could be due to the $B^+$ decaying…
The following proceedings contain a theory perspective on rare Kaon decays. I review rare kaon decays in the LHC era: we discuss interplay with B-anomalies and possible New Physics in direct CP violation in $K\to 2\pi$: very rare kaon…
In this overview, I discuss some of the open issues in Kaon physics. After briefly touching on lattice calculations of Kaon dynamics and tests of CPT, my main focus of attention is on epsilon prime over epsilon and on constraints on the CKM…
Despite the observation of significant suppression of $b\to s\mu^+\mu^-$ branching ratios no clear sign of New Physics (NP) has been identified in $\Delta F=2$ observables, in particular to $\varepsilon_K$. Assuming negligible NP…
I review the implications of recent measurements of CP violation in D meson decays in the context of standard model extensions. Using effective theory methods, one can derive significant constraints on the possible non-standard…
Some aspects are considered on the flavor-nonconservation and $ CP $-violation arising from the quark mixings with singlet quarks. In certain models incorporating the singlet quarks, the contributions of the quark couplings to the neutral…
Owing to the strong suppression of flavour-changing neutral-current transitions in the Standard Model, rare kaon decays constitute a superb tool to constrain hypothetical new-physics interactions. At the same time, they provide many…
These proceedings review the status of New Physics contributions to flavour violating $B$ decays. The anomalies in charged and neutral current $B$ decays related to lepton flavour universality violation have received a substantial amount of…
The availability of high-intensity kaon beams at the J-PARC Hadron Experimental Facility and the CERN SPS North Area, together with the abundant forward production of kaons at the LHC, gives rise to unique possibilities for sensitive tests…
We review constraints from quark and lepton flavor violation on extra dimensional models with warped geometry, both in the minimal and the custodial model. For both scenarios, KK masses that are large enough to suppress constraints from…
We perform a critical reassessment of the constraints on the R-parity and baryon number violating (s)top couplings coming from flavor physics. In particular, we study K0-K0bar mixing, including QCD corrections and a class of diagrams that…
We analyze the rare kaon decays $K_L \to \pi^0 \nu \bar \nu$, $K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar \nu$, $K_L \to \pi^0 e^+ e^-$ and $K_L \to \mu^+ \mu^-$ in conjunction with the CP violating ratio $\epsilon'/\epsilon$ in a general class of…
