Summary Talk: International Conference of Flavor Physics (ICFP 2001). Zhang-Jia-Jie. Hunan, China (May / June 2001)
This is the summary talk of a meeting held at the California Institute of Technology Sept 10-13, 2001. I do not attempt to summarize all the beautiful experimental results we have seen this week, nor to repeat the lively theoretical…
This set of lectures covers the very basics of flavor physics and are aimed to be an entry point to the subject. A lot of problems are provided in the hope of making the manuscript a self study guide.
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.
I review the current status of our knowledge of CP violation and flavor physics. I discuss where one should look for future improvements, and outline the experimental and theoretical priorities of the field.
The open problems and the most recent developments in flavour physics are briefly reviewed. Particular attention is devoted to the current "anomalies" in the CKM picture and their possible interpretation in beyond-the-Standard-Model…
These notes overlap with lectures given at the TASI summer schools in 2014 and 2011, as well as at the European School of High Energy Physics in 2013. This is primarily an attempt at transcribing my hand-written notes, with emphasis on…
A somewhat eclectic choice of topics: Review of Flavor in the quark sector of the SM, the appearance of the CKM matrix and determination of its elements, FCNCs, the GIM mechanism. Minimal Flavor Violation. A close look at neutral meson…
This writeup follows the presentation at the Symposium, with emphasis on topics and ideas discussed there. It is purposefully informal, not a review of the field, and neither does it include a complete list of references. However, I hope…
In over forty presentations on experiments at the 2012 conference on Flavor Physics and CP Violation (FPCP 2012), there was an abundance of beautiful and significant results. This summary of these experiment presentations begins with a…
These lectures give a topical review of heavy flavour physics, in particular \CP violation and rare decays, from an experimental point of view. They describe the ongoing motivation to study heavy flavour physics in the LHC era, the current…
This talk reviews some of the theoretical progress and outstanding issues in QCD, flavour physics, Higgs and electroweak physics and the search for physics beyond the Standard Model at the Tevatron and the LHC, and previews some physics…
We present a short review of heavy flavours and the main challenges given the recent experimental developments.
This is a Concluding Talk, not a Summary of the FPCP 2011 Conference. I will first make some comments on the status and the prospects of particle physics and then review some of the highlights that particularly impressed me at this…
We present a summary of heavy-flavour physics at the the time of the DIS2019 conference. This summary is based upon the relevant plenary and parallel talks presented at the workshop. The summary is divided into four broad areas: (1)…
This is a written version of a series of three lectures aimed at graduate students in the field of experimental high energy physics. The emphasis is on physics that is relevant to $B$-factories. The main topics covered are: (i) The flavor…
We first review some aspects of the determination of the sides and angles of the unitarity triangle. We pay particular attention to theory shortcomings, and present many alternative proposals for the determination of |Vub| (which at present…
These lectures provide a concise introduction to flavor physics, within and beyond the Standard Model, with main focus on B-physics phenomenology and some recent developments. The first lecture is an introduction to the flavor sector of the…
Lectures content: (1) Flavour physics within the SM and the flavour problem; (2) B-physics phenomenology: mixing, CP violation, and rare decays; (3) Flavour physics beyond the SM: models and predictions.
An overview of the flavour problem is presented, with emphasis on the theoretical efforts to find a satisfactory description of fermion masses and mixing angles.
