Abstract
The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics and general relativity (GR) are the two main modern theories used to describe fundamental interactions in Nature. The former is able to describe experimental data in a consistent framework regarding electromagnetic, weak and strong interactions while the latter describes the gravitational one. In this thesis only the Standard Model of particle physics will be described. Particular attention will be made on the quark sector, providing a description of the weak interaction structure of the heavy flavour sector of particle physics. The heavy flavour sector is encoded in the SM through the Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa (CKM) matrix. This is the main domain of study at the LHCb experiment (see Chap. 2).
