New results from flavour physics — •Christoph Langenbruch — Department of Physics, University of Warwick, UK

Flavour physics provides stringent tests of the Standard Model and plays a crucial role in the search for new phenomena. The LHC offers a unique opportunity to perform precision measurements of flavour observables due to the vast numbers of charm- and beauty hadrons produced in pp collisions. This endeavour is led by LHCb, the dedicated flavour physics experiment at the LHC. Of particular interest are flavour observables related to rare decays and meson-antimeson mixing, which are highly sensitive to contributions from particles beyond the Standard Model and can probe scales far exceeding the LHC collision energy. Flavour observables therefore give important information that is complementary to direct searches for the production of new particles at the general purpose detectors ATLAS and CMS.

A selection of new results from flavour physics will be presented, with focus on results from the LHCb experiment. This includes precision measurements of CP violation and results from rare decays, where some interesting tensions with Standard Model predictions recently appeared. In addition, future prospects of flavour physics at the LHC will be briefly discussed.
