Description
The $B$-meson system provides a powerful probe for a stringent
testing of the Standard-Model description of the quark-flavour
sector and the CP violation residing there. After plenty of
valuable results from the $e^+e^-$ $B$ factories at KEK and SLAC,
which have allowed us to confront various theoretical strategies
with data and have impressively established CP violation in
the $B$ sector, and first exciting measurements of the $B_s$-meson
system at the Tevatron, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN
will soon take over. After giving a theoretical introduction into
this topic and discussing the current status of the interpretation
of the $B$-decay data, we shall focus on the key targets of the
high-presicion $B$-physics programme at the LHC, where the
$B_s$-meson system plays a central role, allowing us to enter
a promising new territory in the search of the new physics
lying beyond the Standard Model.
