Flavour Physics

Flavour physics studies the different types or "flavours" of fundamental particles called quarks and leptons, which make up matter. It explores how these particles change or transform into each other through fundamental forces, particularly via processes like particle decays. Understanding flavour physics helps scientists test the Standard Model of particle physics and search for new phenomena beyond current theories. Essentially, it investigates the subtle differences and behaviors among particles that could reveal deeper insights into the universe's fundamental laws.
