Conclusion and Outlook LHCb The collaboration has organisedanalysisgroups and identified “hot topics”: • CP Violation • Measure the Bsmixingphase(Bs→J/yf) • Measure the CKM anglegamma via treemethod (Bs → DsK) • Measure the CKM anglegamma via penguinloops (B(s) → h+h -) • Rare Decays • MeasureBranching Ratio Bs→ m+m - • Measureangular distribution B0 → K* m+m - • Measureradiativepenguinsdecays: b → s g (B → Xsg ) • OtherFlavourPhysics • Anglebeta, B-oscillations, lifetimes, D-physics, Higgs,…? • Atlas and CMS look fornewphysics via direct production of particles • LHCbtries to studyit via the (possibly complex) couplings in B decay loop diagrams
