Abstract

The known basic building blocks of matter, the quarks and leptons, come in three generations or flavors.
The masses and interactions of the different flavors show a very hierarchical structure and the origin of these hierarchies remains an unsolved mystery of particle physics. The same hierarchies lead to a very high sensitivity of flavor changing processes to new undiscovered particles even outside the reach of direct searches at particle colliders.
In this colloquium I will present recent developments in constructing a theory of flavor and highlight the complementarity of flavor, Higgs, and collider physics in searching for new phenomena at the TeV scale and beyond.
