Abstract

The possible role of precision flavour physics, and particularly of B physics, in the next decade is briefly discussed. Few 2--3$\sigma$ deviations from the Standard Model found in present $B$ data are reviewed as potential forerunners of new physics signals to be looked for in next-generation experiments. The perspectives for theoretical calculations, in particular those based on lattice QCD, to match the expected progress in experimental precision are also discussed.
