I discuss the possibility of determining the Bs-Bsbar mixing phase from nonleptonic Bs decays to a charmonium state and a light meson, induced by the b \to c cbar s transition. In particular, I consider the mode Bs \to J/psi f0(980).

7. New Physics in B mixing

We present a strategy to search model independently for new physics. In that respect we also review the theoretical status of the standard model predictions for mixing observables. Finally we discuss the effects of a heavy fourth family to B mixing.

2. $B$-Physics Probes for New Physics in the LHC Era

Prof. Robert Fleischer (Nikhef)

We have just entered a new round in the testing of the flavour sector of the Standard Model through high-precision measurements of $B$-meson decays. While the last decade has revealed many new insights thanks to the interplay between theory and the $B$-decay data, there is still a largely unexplored territory of the $B$-physics landscape left for the LHC and improved analyses at the...
