Experimental constraints from flavour changing processes and physics beyond the Standard Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Flavour physics has a long tradition of paving the way for direct discoveries of new particles and interactions. Results over the last decade have placed stringent bounds on the parameter space of physics beyond the Standard Model. Early results from the LHC, and its dedicated flavour factory LHCb, have further tightened these constraints and reiterate the ongoing relevance of flavour studies. The experimental status of flavour observables in the charm and beauty sectors is reviewed in measurements of CP violation, neutral meson mixing, and measurements of rare decays.

The UTfit Collaboration Report on the Status of the Unitarity Triangle beyond the Standard Model I. Model-independent Analysis and Minimal Flavour Violation
Starting from a (new physics independent) tree level determination of ρ̄ and η̄, we perform the Unitarity Triangle analysis in general extensions of the Standard Model with arbitrary new physics contributions to loop-mediated processes. Using a simple parameterization, we determine the allowed ranges of non-standard contributions to |∆F | = 2 processes. Remarkably, the recent measurements from B ...
متن کاملRare Decays: Theory vs. Experiments
We present an overview of rare K, D and B decays. Particular attention is devoted to those flavour-changing neutral-current processes of K and B mesons that offer the possibility of new significant tests of the Standard Model. The sensitivity of these modes to physics beyond the Standard Model and the status of their experimental study are also discussed.

متن کاملMessages on Flavour Physics Beyond the Standard Model
I present a brief summary of the main results on flavour physics beyond the Standard Model that have been obtained in 2008 by my collaborators and myself at the TUM. In particular I list main messages coming from our analyses of flavour and CP-violating processes in Supersymmetry, the Littlest Higgs model with T-Parity and a warped extra dimension model with custodial protection for flavour vio...
