Novelties from Flavour Physics (2311.02987v1)

Abstract: Our present understanding of elementary particle interactions is the synergic result of developments of theoretical ideas and of experimental advances that lead to the theory known as the Standard Model of particle physics. Despite the uncountable experimental confirmations, we believe that it is not yet the ultimate theory, for a number of reasons that I will briefly recall in this lecture. My main focus will be on the role that Flavour Physics has played in development of the theory in its present formulation, as well as on the opportunities that this sector offers to discover physics beyond the Standard Model.
