Flavour Anomalies — •Christoph Langenbruch — RWTH Aachen, Germany

Precision measurements of observables in heavy flavour decays constitute powerful tests of the Standard Model of particle physics. New heavy particles beyond the Standard Model can significantly affect flavour observables through (virtual) quantum corrections. Precision measurements of these observables can reveal potential deviations from the Standard Model predictions and probe energy scales far beyond the beam energies presently available at colliders.

The talk will present recent precision measurements of flavour observables by the B-factories BaBar and Belle (II), and the LHC experiments ATLAS, CMS, and LHCb. Particular focus will be on the flavour anomalies, recent tensions between measurements and SM predictions in the flavour sector, and prospects for their clarification in the near future.
