Future of Heavy Flavour Physics: Experimental Perspective
I discuss what measurements need to be done to search for physics beyond the Standard CKM model, rather than just what studies can be done in the near future. It is also important to accurately measure the CKM matrix elements. Current best estimates for two important elements are: jVcbj=0 :03810:0021 andjVub=Vcbj=0 :0850:019. Finally, future experiments are discussed.

The discovery of the B mesons
In 1983 the CLEO collaboration first, fully reconstructed B meson decays. I describe here what was done and how these procedures have evolved.

Hadronic B Decays To Charm From CLEO
Recent results include the measurement of B->D(*)pi+pi-pi-pi0 decays, with rates of ~1.8% observation of a significant omega pi^- substructure that appears to result from the decay of the rho' resonance, whose mass and width we determine as 1418 MeV and 382 MeV, respectively. Using B to charmonium decays we find that the neutral B fraction in Y(4S) decays is nearly half, that the CP asymmetries in J/\psi K^(-/+) and psi' K^(-/+) are small, and we also report on the first observation of B->eta_c K.

Leptonic and Semileptonic Decays from CLEO‐c
The CLEO‐c measurement of the purely leptonic decay rate D+ → μ+v determines the value of the pseudoscalar decay constant fD+ = (222.6 ± 16.7−3.4+2.8) MeV, allowing for a precision test of strong interaction theories. Semileptonic decay branching ratios are also summarized.

First Results from LHCb
I report the first results on measurements from the LHCb experiment using 7 TeV proton-proton collisions at the LHC collider. I will concentrate on measurements of the bb cross-section, though other results have been shown. Using semileptonic b decays into a D0 and a μ− we find that the average cross-section to produce b-flavoured or b-flavoured hadrons is (75.3±5.4±13.0) μb in the pseudorapidity interval 2< η < 6 and integrated over all transverse momenta. Using decays into Jψ meson we find in the same phase space (84.5±6.3±15.6) μb. Averaging the two results and extrapolating over the entire kinematic region gives σ(pp → bbX) = (298± 15± 43) μb.
