Title: "Toward the Identification of New Physics through Rare Processes in the Flavour Precision Era"

Abstract:
We emphasize the power of correlations between flavour observables in the search for New Physics and identify a number of correlations that could allow to discover New Physics even if it would appear at the level of 20% of the Standard Model contributions. After presenting the simplest correlations in models with minimal flavour violation and $U(2)^3$ flavour models we address the recent data on $B_{s,d}tomu^+mu^-$ and the anomalies in $B_dto K^*mu^+mu^-$ in the context of $Z^prime$-models with flavour violating neutral couplings. A strategy consisting of twelve steps which concentrate on theoretically clean observables, to be measured in this decade, could one day allow us to reach the Zeptouniverse (10^-21 m). The related DNA charts based on the correlations between enhancements and suppressions of various observables in a given New Physics scenario relative to the Standard Model predictions allow a transparent distinction between various extensions of this model.
