Abstract | In 1977 the beauty or b quark was discovered at Fermilab. Since then this new particle has continued to surprise us. I will shortly review a few of the major results obtained from measurements involving b-quarks. Furthermore, I will report on results from the LHCb experiment which is collecting huge samples of decays from decays of particles containing b-quarks, including CP violation, rare decays and exotic spectroscopy. I'll then present a forward look for physics with b-quarks, including the potential of the upgrades of the LHCb experiments. |
