Abstract

The LHCb detector was designed to be the dedicated heavy-flavor physics experiment at the LHC, and has been the world's premier lab for studying processes where the net quark content changes for several years. These studies permit observing virtual contributions from beyond the SM particles up to very high mass scales, potentially (greatly) exceeding the direct reach of the LHC.  I will summarize the constraints placed on high-mass BSM physics by such studies, and also highlight a few interesting anomalies.  I will also discuss direct searches for low-mass BSM physics, and a selection of novel SM studies.  Finally, future prospects will be presented.
