In the past decade, one of the major challenges of particle physics has been to gain an in-
depth understanding of the role of quark flavor. In this time frame, measurements and the …

Hadronic vacuum polarization (HVP) is not only a critical part of the standard model (SM)
prediction for the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon (g-2) μ, but also a crucial …

Motivated by the success of the flavour physics programme carried out over the last decade
at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), we characterize in detail the physics potential of its High …

The inspiration for this book came from François le Diberder. During his term as
spokesperson for B 八 B 八 R he laid down a vision for the two B Factory detector …

Flavour mixing and CP violation as measured in weak decays and mixing of neutral mesons
are a fundamental tool to test the Standard Model and to search for new physics. New …

We combine our new results for the O (α em) and O (α s 2) corrections to B s, d→ ℓ+ ℓ−, and
present updated branching ratio predictions for these decays in the standard model …

This article summarizes the status of the global fit of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa
(CKM) parameters within the Standard Model performed by the CKMfitter group. Special …

Recently, discrepancies of up to 4 σ between the different determinations of the Cabibbo
angle were observed. In this context, we point out that this “Cabibbo-angle anomaly” can be …

We present a general analysis of extensions of the Standard Model which satisfy the
criterion of Minimal Flavour Violation (MFV). We define this general framework by …

We present a measurement of the standard model CP violation parameter sin 2 φ 1 based
on a 29.1 fb− 1 data sample collected at the ϒ (4 S) resonance with the Belle detector at the …
