abstract
This year marks the 350th anniversary of the discovery of the first animalcula (little animals) by van Leeuvanhoek in 1676.Flavour physics makes it possible to search for new animalcula at distance scales far shorter than those resolved by van Leeuwenhoek in 1676 and even shorter than those directly accessible at the Large Hadron Collider and the planned colliders in this century. I summarize various strategies for achieving this goal. While precise measurements of a wide variety of observables and their precise theoretical calculations, both within the Standard Model (SM) and beyond it, are indispensable in this context, in my view it is crucial to develop strategies for the search for New Physics (NP) that go beyond the global fits that are very popular today. While effective field theories such as WET and SMEFT are formulated in terms of Wilson coefficients of the relevant operators, with correlations characteristic of the SM and of specific NP scenarios, the most direct tests of the SM and its extensions are, in my opinion, correlations among different observables, like branching ratios of numerous decays, that are characteristic of particular new animalcula at work
