Invited plenary talks: 25'+5'

Flavor alignment and mass hierarchy in quarks are shown to be achievable in a renormalizable theory using the dark sector, while keeping only the one Higgs doublet of the standard model.

Invited plenary talks: 25'+5'

Over the past decade, the LHCb and CMS experiments have reported persistent tensions in several branching fractions and angular observables of exclusive rare semileptonic $b$-hadron decays ($b \to s \mu^+\mu^-$). Taken together, these discrepancies exceed the five-standard-deviation level. However, their interpretation remains the subject of active debate, particularly regarding the size and...

29. Experimental landscape of quark flavor physics

Invited plenary talks: 25'+5'

In the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, fermions exhibit a peculiar hierarchical pattern, most notably in their masses, quark flavor mixing, and charged-current weak interactions. The origin of this flavor structure remains unknown within the SM. Hence, testing these flavor phenomena experimentally provides a vital probe for new physics beyond the SM (BSM) and deeper underlying...
