Description

Examples are given of some current questions in b physics to which LHC experiments may provide answers. These include (i) the precise determination of parameters of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix; (ii) measurements of CKM phases using B decays to CP eigenstates; (iii) the search for direct CP asymmetries in B decays; (iv) rare radiative B decays; (v) the study of Bs properties and decays, (vi) excited states of B and Bs mesons, and (vii) the search for heavier quarks which could mix with the b quark.
