Flavor physics & beyond, a concluding overview

Abstract

Flavor physics stands today at an exciting forefront. Unprecedentedly large flavor- $$$enriched data sets are allowing to reach high levels of precision and to explore new observables and rare sensitive processes. The large suite of precision measurements matching the expectation from the standard theory, the observation of its scalar, followed more recently by that of the Yukawa interaction, together with the negative outcome of the direct searches for new fundamental states, render the Standard Model an unexpectedly robust effective theory up to the TeV scale. At the same time, a coherent set of so-called flavor anomalies persistently emerge from the data, constituting a tantalising indication of the presence of New Physics. Explorations of the flavor sector in its many fronts are actively pursued and planned, which are bound to shed further light on the Standard Model and possibly reach beyond it in the near future.
