Objective
"The Standard Model of particle physics is incomplete. It fails to address such
fundamental questions as the baryon asymmetry of the universe
(i.e. our own existence), dark matter and dark energy, and gravity;
it has too many free parameters, and suffers from self-consistency
problems (the fine-tuning and hierarchy problem). Nearly all
alternatives to the Standard Model that address these problems predict the
existence of new, heavy particles.
Flavour physics is sensitive to quantum loops that can be affected
by new particles with masses even beyond those that can be directly
produced at the highest-energy colliders - it allows us to see
beyond the energy frontier. This makes it highly sensitive to
physics beyond the Standard Model The observed size of the matter-antimatter
asymmetry of the universe proves that additional, undiscovered
sources of charge-parity (CP) violation must exist. CP violation
measurements, which are the domain of flavour physics, hold
therefore particular promise in the search this ""New Physics"".
We will use powerful new techniques and the unprecedented datasets
of LHCb to extract some of the most important, and currently most
poorly constrained CP violation parameters. We will collaborate
across several international collaborations to further improve our
measurements. We will reach new levels of precision that will
dramatically increase the New Physics reach of the entire flavour physics
approach."

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
