Description
Measurements of b-hadron production and constraints on their tree-level decays are closely related. With the precision measurements of both performed In recent years, experiments have found curious new phenomena: hadronisation turns out to depend on the kinematics of the b-hadron and the multiplicity of the pp collision, and some tree-level branching fractions seem to deviate from the Standard Model predictions.
In this talk, I plan to treat recent results, point out how they affect current measurements of new physics in flavour,
such as BF(Bs->mumu), and discuss the prospects for the near future, including ideas for new measurements.
