The detailed agenda is on the Edinburgh Indico page, https://indico.ph.ed.ac.uk/event/17/. Talks will be 30' with an additional 15' allocated for discussion.

This forward-looking workshop is planned to investigate new strategies - both in experiment and theory - that are mandatory to make full use of the expected high precision of future data. Therefore we would like to address some of the following questions:

CP violation and mixing:

• What theory precision can be achieved in the mixing observables $\Delta M_q$, $\Delta \Gamma_q$ and $a_{\rm sl}^q$?

• How precise should we measure time-dependent CP asymmetries, such as $\phi_s$ and $\sin 2\beta$? Do we have a handle on penguin pollution?

• Should penguins be taken into account in model independent NP searches?

• Are there connections between mixing and rare decays in NP models?

• What can we learn from direct CP violation in $B \to hhh$ decays?

• Is there CP violation in up type quarks?

Rare decays:

• What rare decays beyond $B \to K^\star \mu \mu$ are interesting?

• What are the prospects in radiative and hadronic penguin transitions, such as $B_s \to \phi \gamma$, $B \to VV$ decays, Triple products, Baryon decays?

• What theory precision can be achieved in rare decays?

• Are there connections between $\Delta F = 1$ and $\Delta F = 2$ decays?

• Should NP fits be done in combination with more observables? e.g. inclusion of $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \mu\mu$, but also more general flavour observables

NP searches:

• Is the assumption of having only NP in $M_{12}$ but not in $\Gamma_{12}$ still reasonable for bounds on NP in mixing?

• Do we need to start thinking about NP in tree level decays?

• What does model building tell us?

• What about lepton flavour violation?
