Recent progress in flavor physics is discussed. In particular, I review theoretical and experimental developments relevant for semileptonic B decays and the determination of |Vcb| and |Vub|, for exclusive rare decays, for nonleptonic b->c…
We discuss the discovery potential for New Physics of various measurements of CP violation. If nature is supersymmetric, then the flavor problem is even more mysterious than in the standard model. We show how we can learn about the…
In these proceedings we provide a brief overview of the status of flavour physics, with focus on opportunities to discover New Physics in flavour-violating decays at current and future colliders.
One of the major challenges of particle physics has been to gain an in-depth understanding of the role of quark flavor and measurements and theoretical interpretations of their results have advanced tremendously: apart from masses and…

In absence of direct signs of new physics at the LHC, flavour physics provides an ideal laboratory to look for deviations from the Standard Model and explore an energy regime beyond the LHC reach. Here, new results in CP violation and rare…
We present an overview of what we learned so far from low-energy flavour observables, concerning physics beyond the Standard Model, and what we could still learn from further studies in flavour physics in the next few years.
The Standard Model parametrization of CP violation is described. Tests of this parametrization using the observed heavy flavour decays and implications for New physics are discussed.
The physics underlying quark and lepton masses and mixings (the "flavor problem") is the least well understood aspect of the Standard Model. Some questions of flavor physics, and ways in which the LHC can help shed light on this problem,…
