“…The preparations for the LHC are well advanced, and entering an exhilarating stage as the first data come closer to reach. Each of ATLAS [77,78,79], CMS [80,81] and LHCb [82,83,84,85] is well positioned to exploit the B physics potential of the early running. Much has been learned from the recent operational experience of CDF [86] and DØ [87,88], culminating in the results presented in this conference.…”
