Abstract

The main purpose of Heavy Flavor experiments is to discover physics beyond the Standard Model, or characterize it, should it be found elsewhere. Thus, current limits on New Physics (NP) are reviewed. New results are presented, some involving processes that could show NP even with current data. Specific topics include the CKM element |V_ub|, the forward-backward asymmetry in B⁰ ? K^*⁰µ⁺µ^-, b-hadron fractions at the LHC, B(B⁰_s ? µ⁺µ^-), first observations of several B⁰_s and B_c^- decay modes, the X(4140), new b-baryons and their decays, searches for Majorana neutrinos, and Lepton Flavor Violation.
