Towards the identification of new physics...
redFishBlueFish 21 Aug 2014
We outline a systematic strategy that should help in this decade to identify new physics (NP) beyond the standard model (SM) by means of quark flavour violating processes, and thereby extend the picture of short distance physics down to scales as short as 10−20 m and even shorter distance scales corresponding to energies of 100 TeV.

From the abstract:
Assuming that the data on the selected observables will be very precise, we stress the importance of correlations between these observables as well as of future precise calculations of non-perturbative parameters by means of lattice QCD simulations with dynamical fermions. Our strategy consists of twelve steps, which we will discuss in detail while illustrating the possible outcomes with the help of the SM, models with constrained minimal flavour violation (CMFV), MFV at large and models with tree-level flavour changing neutral currents mediated by neutral gauge bosons and scalars.
In the first step, they admitted that they were powerless over alcohol, and that their lives had become unmanageable..?

There's a little joke in the physics world that when a paper has "Towards" in the title, it's not actually going anywhere. It would be really cool if this worked, but with the utter absence of any evidence of new physics at those scales from the copious amounts of available data, I'm skeptical.

I get QM, but I prefer Dan Winters take on things as he sees it without CM.
