Heavy Flavour Physics: On Its More Than 50 Years Of History, Its Future And The Rio Manifesto
Abstract
After a reminder about how S≠ 0 physics has been instrumental for the development of the Standard Model I sketch theoretical technologies for dealing with nonperturbative QCD in heavy flavour decays and state predictions for CP odd effects as they were made in 1998. I review the exciting developments in heavy flavour physics as presented at this conference. A central message is presented in the `Rio Manifesto' where I recapitulate the lessons we have learnt from charm physics, point out the special role future dedicated charm studies can play in revealing the presence of New Physics and give an introduction to the relevant phenomenology focussed on CP studies.
