The LHCb experiment has the potential, during the 2010-11 run, to observe, or improve significantly the exclusion bounds on, the rare decays B_s ->\mu^+\mu^- and D^0 -> \mu^+\mu^-. These studies will provide very sensitive probes of New Physics effects. High sensitivity to New Physics contributions is also achieved by searching for direct CP violation in B^0 -> K*\gamma, performing a time...

In this talk we will briefly present the ATLAS detector, focusing on the elements relevant to the B-physics measurements plan. The plan will be discussed, including the expected precision of the CP-violation measurements. We will briefly present the status of the detector, the status of the data taking and the latest B-physics results.

B physics is one of the key physics themes at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). B hadrons are an ideal tool for advancing our current understanding of the flavour sector of the Standard Model (SM), and searching for effects originating from physics beyond the SM, thanks to the large production rate and the fact that B hadrons are relatively easy to trigger on and identify due to their long...

The tree-level flavour-changing neutral currents in the two-Higgs-doublet models can be suppressed by protecting the breaking of either flavour or flavour-blind symmetries, but we will show how only the first choice, implemented by the application of the Minimal Flavour Violation hypothesis, is stable under quantum corrections. Moreover, we will discuss the phenomenology of a two-Higgs-doublet...
