https://doi.org/10.23730/CYRSP-2025-009.145Abstract
We give a brief introduction into quark flavour physics and CP violation, starting in the first lecture with a review of the fundamental properties of the Standard Model of Particle Physics, a detailed discussion of the CKM matrix and a general classification of hadronic weak decays. The second lecture is devoted to describing the theoretical framework and in particular the concept of an effective Hamiltonian. In the third lecture we discuss mixing of neutral mesons and the effect of CP violation in hadron decays.
