Minimal Flavor Violation Flavor Physics New Physics at TeV-scale must have* ) non-generic flavor structure. * ) modulo some conspiracy Minimal flavor violation: Standard Model Yukawa couplings are the only non-trivial flavor-breaking terms also beyond the Standard Model. Minimal flavor violation realized by construction in MSSM SUSY models (CMSSM) often used as reference point. MFV should not be taken as granted! 5 Flavor Structure of New Physics Test MFV Hypothesis - Flavor breaking terms beside SM Yukawas? Study flavor structure of new particles if found by ATLAS/CMS.
