Abstract:
Indirect searches for new heavy particles in precision measurements in the flavour sector are a complementary approach to the direct searches at the high intensity frontier, currently carried out by the ATLAS and CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. LHCb is a dedicated B and charm physics experiment devoted to reveal New Physics phenomena in quantum loop induced effects. The performance of the experiment is far beyond expectation.

Its result supercedes in most analysis the precision of all previous B physics experiments. This talk will summarize the latest heavy flavour physics results from the LHCb-experiment and give an outlook on future plans.
