  2. Rare Decays • Electroweak symmetry breaking determines flavor structure • CKM matrix, FCNC, CP-violation • Rare decays are instrumental probes • CKM matrix • Sizeable deviations – sign of New Physics • FCNC decays are forbidden at tree level in the SM • Rates are highly suppressed in SM • NP allows tree level processes, enhancement in loops • Look for • B0(s )→ μ+μ- • B±0(s)→ h μ+μ- • D0 → μ+μ- • D±→ π±μ+μ- D. Tsybychev
