Rare Decays and CP Violation in the $B_s$ System

Abstract

CP violating phenomena and rare decays of $B_s$ mesons offer interesting probes to test the quark-flavor sector of the Standard Model. In view of plenty of data reported in particular from the Large Hadron Collider, this topic has received a lot of attention in 2012. We give an overview of the the most recent experimental results, new theoretical developments, and discuss the prospects for the future exploration of the $B_s$-meson system.
