This paper summarises the B-physics prospects of the LHCb experiment. The focus is on the uniqueness of LHCb over and above the B-factories and the Tevatron experiments: the measurement of the unitarity angle γ using a number of complementary methods, the measurement of the Bs0 mixing phase φs in tree and penguin decay modes, and the expected observation of the rare decay mode Bs0 → μ+ μ- below Standard Model predictions. © 2008 World Scientific Publishing Company
