【 摘 要 】

Flavour physics plays a prominent role in our quest to understand and constrain possible phenomena beyond the standard model. It directly relates to two of the outstanding issues of contemporary particle physics: the so-called standard model and new physics flavour puzzles. At the same time it indirectly probes new physics scales up to 105TeV through virtual effects. On the other hand, nonstandard flavour phenomena, if observed, could help shed light and constrain the nature of the electroweak symmetry breaking and the Higgs sector of the theory. In particular, such effects could help reduce fine-tuning in models addressing the electroweak hierarchy in light of null LHC new physics search results. Finally, exotic flavour- violating processes, such as those involving missing energy signatures may turn out to be the portals to possible hidden sectors beyond the standard model.
