Anomalous tWb couplings: Interplay of top and bottom physics

I will present how the effects of anomalous tWb couplings show up in B physics on one hand

and in top quark physics on the other. In particular, observables in  B-Bbar mixing and rare B decays

provide indirect constraints on anomalous couplings. I will compare these constraints with the direct

constraints obtained from helicity fractions of the W boson produced in top quark's main decay channel

and from single top production to show that they are in a sense complementary to the indirect constraints.
