Hadrons carrying open heavy flavor, i.e. single charm or bottom quarks, are among the key diagnostic tools available today for the hot and dense state of strongly interacting matter which is produced in collisions of heavy atomic nuclei at…

Heavy-flavour quarks, due to their large masses, are produced in the early stages of the relativistic heavy-ion collisions via initial hard scatterings. Therefore, as they experience the full system evolution, heavy quarks are effective…

These lectures provide an introductory overview of the dynamics of flavour-changing transitions. The main emphasis is put on present tests of the quark-mixing matrix structure and the phenomenological determination of its parameters. The…

In some models with an extra U(1) gauge boson Z', the gauge couplings of the Z' to different generations of fermions may not be universal. Flavor mixing in general can be induced at the tree level in the up-type and/or down-type quark…

Although searches for new physics at the CERN Large Hadron Collider will probably dominate the the agenda of the experimental high energy physics community during the next decade or more, high-intensity experiments at the tau-charm and…

Heavy flavour production measurements in pp collisions are a crucial test of QCD. The LHC experiments ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb, provide complementary abilities to measure many aspects of heavy-flavour production. This contribution…

Heavy quarks are effective probes of the hot and dense nuclear matter, the quark-gluon plasma, produced in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Due to the short time scale characterising their production, heavy quarks experience the…

I review recent results and prospects for improvement in calculations of hadronic matrix elements relevant to quark flavour phenomenology. I will focus on key quantities for CKM unitarity triangle analyses and for the study of discrepancies…

Uniquely heavy with mass at the weak scale, the top quark may have large flavor changing couplings to Higgs bosons that are as yet unexplored. We show that such couplings can be directly probed at the LHC through the parton subprocess…

We present a generator for single top quark production via flavour-changing neutral currents. The MEtop event generator allows for Next-to-Leading-Order direct top production $pp \to t$ and Leading-Order production of several other single…

We survey the flavor-changing neutral couplings (FCNC) of the top quark predicted by some extensions of the Standard Model: THDM, SUSY, L-R symmetric, TC2, 331, and models with extra quarks. Since the expected sensitivity of the LHC and ILC…

We study flavor changing effects on the \ppbchT process at the Large Hadron Collider(LHC), which are inspired by the left-handed up-type squark mixings in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model(MSSM). We find that the SUSY QCD radiative…

We examine flavour-changing neutral-current decays of the top quark, $t\to q \gamma$, $t \to qZ$, $t \to q H$, and $ t\to q g$ (with $q=u, c$), in the Alternative Left-Right Model, a left right-symmetric model featuring exotic quarks and…

Our main aim in this paper is to present detailed studies to probe the top quark flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) interactions at $tqg$, $tq\gamma$, $tqH$ and $tqZ (\sigma^{\mu \nu}, \gamma_{\mu})$ vertices in the triple-top signal $p…

This chapter of the report of the ``Flavour in the era of the LHC'' Workshop discusses the theoretical, phenomenological and experimental issues related to flavour phenomena in the charged lepton sector and in flavour-conserving…

The impact of right-handed currents in both charged- and neutral-current flavour-violating processes is analysed by means of an effective theory approach. More explicitly, we analyse the structure of dimension-six operators assuming a…

After a brief look back at the roles played by hadronic machines and $e^+e^-$ colliders I emphasize that continuing dedicated studies of heavy flavour transitions should be central to our efforts of decoding nature's `Grand Design'. For…

In this paper we study the effect of new physics contributions to the top quark pair production ($t\bar{t}$) in a possible future linear collider, such as the International Linear Collider (ILC). The use of a dimension-six gauge invariant…

The study of the top quark's properties is an important part of the LHC programme. In earlier work, we have studied the rare decay $t \to b \bar b c$, using effective operators to capture the effects of physics beyond the Standard Model.…

Top quark flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) interactions are highly suppressed in the Standard Model. Therefore, any large signal of FCNCs will indicate the existence of new interactions. In this paper, searches for FCNC interactions…
