Description
The world of elementary particles is extremely well
described by the so-called Standard Model of
particle physics, a fundamental quantum field theory.
Despite its huge success in explaining most
of the measurements in our laboratory experiments,
we know that the Standard Model is not complete.
The quest for physics phenomena beyond the Standard
Model is the major topic in present particle
physics. Evidence for tensions with the Standard Model
have been recently accumulated in B hadron decays
involving $b \rightarrow s \ell \ell$ transitions
at the flavour factories LHCb and Belle II. The talk
will summarizes the status of these so-called
flavour anomalies.
Currently the LHC is restarting data taking after
a 3-year long shutdown in which the LHCb experiment
was upgraded to effectively record data at a
significantly increased $pp$ collision rate.
We will report about the commissioning of the upgraded
LHCb experiment and about the plans for the coming data
taking period.
