The Standard Model of Particle Physics (SM) has been confirmed by thousands of experimental measurements with a high precision. But the SM leaves important questions open, like what is the nature of dark matter or what is the origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe. By comparing high precision Standard Model calculations with extremely precise measurements, one can find the first glimpses of the physics beyond the SM – currently we see the first hints of a potential breakdown of the SM in flavour observables. This can then be compared with purely theoretical considerations about new physics models, known as model building. Both precision calculations and model building are extremely specialised fields and this outstanding thesis contributes significantly to both topics within the field of Flavour Physics and sheds new light on the observed anomalies.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053Elementary particles (Physics)Quantum field theoryMathematical physicsElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23029Theoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19005Elementary particles (Physics).Quantum field theory.Mathematical physics.Elementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory.Theoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics.539.72167539.72167Kirk Matthew Johnauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1062098BOOK9910337868903321Charming New Physics in Beautiful Processes2522929UNINA
