Description
We review recent results in heavy flavor decays from the Belle
, BaBar,
and LHCb experiments. These measurements range from mixing
parameters
to CKM phases to various observables in electroweak penguin
decays. The
results are sensitive to new physics and thus constrain exte
nsions to the Stan-
dard Model. Several inconsistencies between measured valu
es and Standard
Model expectations may point the way to uncovering new physi
cs with more
data. Both Belle and LHCb are now being upgraded in order to si
gnificantly
increase the data sample sizes; these upgrade programs and t
heir physics
prospects are also discussed.
