The GIM Mechanism was introduced by Sheldon L. Glashow, John Iliopoulos and Luciano Maiani in 1970, to explain the suppression of Delta S=1, 2 neutral current processes and is an important element of the unified theories of the weak and electromagnetic interactions. Origin, predictions and uses of the GIM Mechanism are illustrated. Flavor changing neutral current processes (FCNC) represent...

We analyze decays of charm mesons to two pseudoscalars, D->PP, in an flavour-SU(3) framework, including first order symmetry breaking. We perform fits to the full up-to-date (pre-Moriond) data set with octet mesons, including for the first time all SU(3)-breaking amplitudes in the CKM-leading part. This allows for making general statements on the requisite size of SU(3) breaking and...

Rare heavy flavour decays occurring through flavour-changing neutral-current processes are an ideal place to search for the effects of potential new particles that modify the decay rates. The LHCb experiment, a dedicated heavy flavour experiment at the LHC, has recorded the world's largest sample of heavy meson decays. The status of the rare decay analyses with this sample is reviewed. The...

This talk will cover the recent achievements in theory to describe the semileptonic rare |Delta B|=1 exclusive decays in the kinematic region of low hadronic recoil. The region is
accessible to the current and future experimental searches,
and has benefits in probing the Standard Model as well as the requisite hadronic form factors. Ratios of the latter can already be extracted from present...

I will discuss the recent developments in the phenomenology of the decay B->K*ll. Its angular distribution leads to a set of theoretically clean observables. Current analyses by the LHCb collaboration are focusing on these observables, and will lead to very precise measurements due to the large statistics collected. Besides being theoretically clean, these observables are very sensitive to...

ATLAS and CMS measurements in the area of heavy flavor physics are reviewed with focus on the most recent results. The topics discussed include heavy flavor production rates and properties, exclusive b-hadron production, with attention to the recent observations of rare b-hadrons and to the measurements of Lambda_b production cross section, lifetime and mass. Differential production cross...
