Flavour Physics and CP Violation
Proceedings of the 2014 Asia–Europe–Pacific School of High-Energy Physics, Puri, India, 4–17 November 2014, edited by M. Mulders and R. Godbole, CERN Yellow Reports: School Proceedings, Vol. 2/2017, CERN-2017-005-SP (CERN, Geneva, 2017) Flavour Physics and CP Violation S. J. Lee and H. Serôdio Department of Physics, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Daejeon, Korea Abstract We present the invited lectures given at the second Asia-Europe-Pacific School of High-Energy Physics (AEPSHEP), which took place in Puri, India in Novem- ber 2014. The series of lectures aimed at graduate students in particle experi- ment/theory, covering the the very basics of flavour physics and CP violation, some useful theoretical methods such as OPE and effective field theories, and some selected topics of flavour physics in the era of LHC. Keywords Lectures; flavor; CP violation; CKM matrix; flavor changing neutral currents; GIM mechanism. 1 Short introduction We present the invited lectures given at the second Asia-Europe-Pacific School of High-Energy Physics (AEPSHEP), which took place in Puri, India in November 2014. The physics background of students attending the school are diverse as some of them were doing their PhD studies in experimental parti- cle physics, others in theoretical particle physics. The lectures were planned and organized, such that students from different background can still get benefit from basic topics of broad interest in a modern way, trying to explain otherwise complicated concepts necessary to know for understanding the current ongoing researches in the field, in a relatively simple language from first principles.
