    New experiments under construction aim to push neutron electric dipole moment down by one to two orders of magnitude, to an eventual sensitivity of 10^{−28} e cm. The Standard Model would still be out of reach. However, there is renewed interest in the direct search for a possible fourth generation of quarks, which may carry sufficient CP violation for the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. We...

    Due to their outstanding property to be storable and hence observable for long periods of time (several hundreds of seconds) in suitable material or magnetic traps, ultra-cold neutrons (UCN) with energies around 100 neV are an unique tool to study fundamental properties of the free neutron, like its beta-decay lifetime, its electric dipole moment and its wave properties. The search for the...

    The search for a permanent neutron electric dipole moment with ultracold neutrons (UCN) is one of the prominent experiments to test CP-violation at the low-energy precision frontier. Extensions to the SM can provide enough CP violation to accommodate for the observed baryon asymmetry of the universe, while at the same time predicting nEDM values in the range of 10^-26 to 10^-28 ecm. This is...

    We have measured the D-coefficient in the triple correlation of the neutron spin with proton and electron momenta by observing coincidences in the decay of polarized neutrons. A non-zero value of D can arise due to parity-even-time-reversal-odd interactions that imply CP violation due to the CPT theorem. (Final-state effects also contribute to D at the level of 1e-5 and can be calculated with...

    In this talk I review the consequences of radiative flavour violation in the MSSM. Since self-energies can be chirally enhanced and therefore of order one it is possible to generate the light-quark masses and the CKM matrix via loops. In the case of CKM generation in the down-sector constraints from b->s gamma, and in the case of CKM generation in the up-sector from epsilon_K, are observed. In...

    Rather than sticking to the full U(3)^3 approximate symmetry normally invoked in Minimal Flavour Violation, we analyze the consequences on the current flavour data of a suitably broken U(2)^3 symmetry acting on the first two generations of quarks and squarks. A definite correlation emerges between the mixing amplitudes in the K, B_d and B_s systems, which can resolve the current tension in the...

    Using fully reconstructed $B_{s}$ mesons, we measure the branching fractions for the decays of $B_s \to D_s^{(*)+}D_s^{(*)-}$ exclusively. Assuming these decay modes saturate decays to CP-even final states, the branching fraction determines the relative width difference between the $CP$-odd and $CP$-even $B_s$ states. We study the decay $B^0_s\to J/\psi \phi$, $\phi \to K^+ K^-$. In...

    The determination of the CP-violating phase $\phi_s$ in $B^0_s \rightarrow J/\psi \phi$ decays is one of the key goals of the LHCb experiment. Its value is predicted to be very small in the Standard Model but can be significantly enhanced in many models of new physics. To perform the first LHCb analysis of $\phi_s$ on 2010 data at a centre of mass energy of 7 TeV, many milestones...

    The results from the CERN kaon experiments are presented. A precision test of lepton universality by measurement of the helicity suppressed ratio of kaon leptonic decay rates BR(K --> e nu)/BR(K --> mu nu) has been performed with over 10^5 K+- --> e+- nu decays collected by the NA62 experiment in 2007-08. A record accuracy of 0.4% has been achieved, which constrains the parameter space of new...

    A phi-factory offers the possibility to select pure kaon beams: neutral kaons from phi → KSKL are in fact produced in pairs and the detection of a KS (KL) tags the presence of a KL (KS), the same holds for charged kaons. This allows to perform precise measurement of kaon properties. The KLOE experiment has measured most decay branching ratios of K_S, K_L amd K^+- mesons providing the basis...

    In a supersymmetric grand-unified model proposed by Chang, Masiero and Murayama the atmospheric neutrino mixing angle induces large new b --> s transitions. Relating the supersymmetric low-energy parameters to seven new parameters a_0, m_0^2, m_{\tilde g}, D, xi, tan(beta) and arg(mu) of this SO(10) GUT model, we perform a correlated study of several FCNC processes. The LEP limit on the ...

    We present updated results for the CKM matrix elements from a global fit to Flavour Physics data within the Standard Model theoretical context. We describe some current discrepancies, established or advocated, between the available observables. These discrepancies are further examined in the light of New Physics scenarii.

    We present the summer 2011 update of the Unitarity Triangle (UT) analysis performed by the UTfit Collaboration within the Standard Model (SM) and beyond. Within the SM, combining the direct measurements on sides and angles, the UT is over-constrained allowing for the most accurate SM predictions and for investigation on the tensions due to the most recent updates from experiments and...
