    Belle and BaBar have been exploring radiative and electroweak B meson decays that are sensitve to physics beyond the Standard Model, and the CKM unitarity triangle parameters within the context of the Standard Model. In this talk I review the latest measurements on inclusive and exclusive b -> s gamma and b -> d gamma processes and exclusive b -> s l+ l- processes, and discuss their implications.

    We give a short account of the present status of the computation of QCD matrix elements needed for connecting experimental B- and D-meson decays to the fundamental electroweak Lagrangian. We then emphasise present developments, in particular the European Coordinated Lattice Simulations. These provide perspectives for precision determinations with all sources of errors accounted for.

    The talk deals with the present status of the LHCb detector, with special emphasis on the commissioning tests and analysis. The detector response has been widely tested by means of cosmic ray events and with the very first beam before the LHC rupture in September 2008. The results of these studies are reported. Finally, ideas on the planned use of the first beam data, expected in 2009, are presented.

    The rare decay B -> K* (-> K pi) mu+ mu- is regarded as one of the crucial channels for B physics as the polarization of the K* allows a precise angular reconstruction resulting in many observables that offer new important tests of the Standard Model and its extensions. These angular observables can be expressed in terms of CP-conserving and CP-violating quantities which we study in terms of...

    This presentation covers the recent BaBar results on a search for a light Higgs decaying to mu+mu- in Y(3S) decays as well as the searches for charged lepton flavor violation in the decays Y(3S) -> l tau (l=e,mu) and of tau -> 3l (l=e,mu)
