Phenomenology of Gauged Flavour Symmetries

The quark flavour-symmetry may be gauged to avoid massless Goldstone modes in 

the low-energy spectrum. This results in a plethora of new heavy degrees of 

freedom: flavour-violating vector-bosons, flavoured scalars, and fermions, 

introduced to cancel anomalies of the new gauge sector. In this talk, I 

discuss the implications of this gauging with emphasis on the resulting 

flavour-phenomenology. I discuss the prediction of Delta F=2 and Delta F=1 

observables, their correlations and how the model can account for possible 

anomalies in the flavour data.
