Description
With the successful start of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN
quark flavour physics has entered a new era. Unprecedented samples of
Beauty and charmed mesons and baryons have been collected
by the LHCb experiment, which was built for this purpose,
ATLAS and CMS also have large flavour physics
data samples and the Tevatron and B-factory experiments
continue to produce interesting results.
Highlights include the measurements of CP violation
in Bs mesons and the observation of the very rare decay Bs->mumu
as well as precision measurements of Bs and charm mixing
and B-hadron lifetimes. These results place strong constraints on the
parameter space of many models of physics beyond the Standard Model.
