FPCP 2012 Summary Talk on Experiments
In over forty presentations on experiments at the 2012 conference on Flavor Physics and CP Violation (FPCP 2012), there was an abundance of beautiful and significant results. This summary of these experiment presentations begins with a reminder of the context in which the measurements have been made and the motivations for making the specific measurements reported at the symposium. Given the number and breadth of physics topics covered at the meeting, this review covers only a limited set of highlights, sort of a traveler's set of souvenir postcards of favorite slides. The selected slides are grouped into eight overlapping categories as an aid to flipping through the postcards and being reminded of the high points of the conference. Finally, there are some summarizing comments about how the experiment results presented here compare to expectations and what we may hope for the future.
