We consider the possibility of extracting the CKM angle $\gamma$ with $B_c$ decays. The modes $B_c^\pm \to (D^0) D_s^\pm \to (K^{*+}K^-) D_s^\pm $ and $B_c^\pm \to (\bar D^0) D_s^\pm \to (K^{*+}K^-) D_s^\pm $ are found to be well suited for…

We report recent measurements from LHCb on $B_{(s)}\to D_{(s)}h(h)(h)$ decays using $\sim$35 pb$^{-1}$ of data collected in 2010. In brief, we measure the following ratios of branching fractions: B(B^0-bar --> D^+K^-) / B(B0-bar --> D^+…
Prospects for heavy flavour studies with the CMS and ATLAS detectors are presented. Many studies are aimed for early LHC data, taking advantage of the large $b$ production cross-section. Rare decay studies as the $B_s \to \mu^+\mu^-$ decay…

I will review simplified models with leptoquarks, which can explain recent anomalies in $B$-meson physics, and I will indicate the High-Luminosity LHC prospects for testing these theories, with a special focus to the efficient channel of…
We discuss several cases of $B \to K \pi$ decays in which direct probes of the weak phase $\gamma$ are possible, and note what improvements are possible.
Recent results in and future prospects for the study of rare kaon decays are reviewed.
The study of charmless b-hadron decays provides information for testing the CKM picture of CP violation in the Standard Model. In addition, as they can proceed through loop diagrams, they are also sensitive to physics beyond the Standard…
Heavy vector-like quarks of charge $-1/3$, $B$, have been searched for at the LHC through the decays $B\rightarrow bZ,\, bh,\,tW$. In models where the $B$ quark also carries charge under a new gauge group, new decay channels may dominate.…
The recent progress in experiments at B-factories suggests an opportunity to search for missing charmonium states $\eta_{c}'(2^1S_0)$ and $h_c(1^1P_1)$. The feasibility of such a search in B-meson decays are discussed.
We present a brief overview of the first flavour physics results at the LHC. Cross-section for charm and beauty production have been measured by several experiments and the first competitive results on D and B decays are presented.
