Rare flavour changing neutral current decays of strange, charm and beauty hadrons have been instrumental in building up a picture of flavour in the Standard Model. Increasingly precise measurements of these decays allow to search for…

It is shown that the hierarchical structure of the quark mass terms in the standard model suggests a new description of the flavor mixing. The latter is primarily a heavy quark mixing involving the t and b quarks, followed by a mixing…
The top quark plays an important role in a number of new physics models, some of which introduce violations to some of the accidental symmetries of the SM, such as the lepton number conservation or introduce additional sources of others…
We review the modular flavor symmetric models of quarks and leptons focusing on our works. We present some flavor models of quarks and leptons by using finite modular groups and discuss the phenomenological implications. The modular flavor…
Summary Talk: International Conference of Flavor Physics (ICFP 2001). Zhang-Jia-Jie. Hunan, China (May / June 2001)
Lattice QCD plays an essential role in testing and determining the parameters of the CKM theory of flavor mixing and CP violation. Very high precisions are required for lattice calculations analysing CKM data; I discuss the prospects for…
The paper introduces the selection of new results on heavy flavours presented at the QCD and High Energy Interactions section of the XLIIIth ``Rencontres de Moriond'' conference.
Planned as a review of CPV in B-mesons which covered recent B-factories results these lectures appeared to be a bit wider. It is not natural to be limited by direct CPV and that in mixing in B-mesons and not to speak about the analogous…
We review new results on strong and electroweak interactions, flavour physics, cosmic rays and cosmology, which were presented at this conference, focussing on physics beyond the Standard Models. Special emphasis is given to the Higgs…
Theoretical aspects of neutrino physics are reviewed, with emphasis on possible explanations of the smallness of neutrino masses and of the peculiar mixing pattern observed in the lepton sector. Some theoretically motivated frameworks, such…
This talk reviews recent lattice QCD calculations relevant for quark flavor physics. Since lattice results must be accurate and precise to play a definitive role in phenomenology, the focus is on unquenched results of quantities which can…
We give an overview of recent progress in the study of fermion mass and flavor mixing phenomena. The hints exhibited by the quark and lepton mass spectra towards possible underlying flavor symmetries, from which realistic models of mass…
Studying heavy flavour physics is driven by multiple motivations: to probe our theoretical control over QCD; enhance our information on gluon and sea quark structure functions; use heavy flavour production as signal for the onset of the…
