Flavour anomalies: Status and prospects
Christoph Langenbruch (RWTH Aachen)

Precision measurements of 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 Standard Model predictions, and thereby probe energy scales far beyond the beam energies currently available at colliders.
The talk will focus on flavour observables that have recently shown tensions with Standard Model predictions, the so-called flavour anomalies. The referent will present the current experimental status of the anomalies, briefly discuss possible interpretations, and give prospects for their clarification in the near future.
