  The Heavy Flavor Averaging Group provides with this document input to the
European Strategy for Particle Physics. Research in heavy-flavor physics is an
essential component of the particle-physics program, both within and beyond the
Standard Model. To fully realize the potential of the field, we believe the
strategy should include strong support for the ongoing experimental and
theoretical heavy-flavor research, future upgrades of existing facilities, and
significant heavy-flavor capabilities at future colliders, including dedicated
experiments.
