  Flavour physics has a long tradition of paving the way for direct discoveries
of new particles and interactions. Results over the last decade have placed
stringent bounds on the parameter space of physics beyond the Standard Model.
Early results from the LHC, and its dedicated flavour factory LHCb, have
further tightened these constraints and reiterate the ongoing relevance of
flavour studies. The experimental status of flavour observables in the charm
and beauty sectors is reviewed in measurements of CP violation, neutral meson
mixing, and measurements of rare decays.
