Indirect constraints on New Physics from the B-factories

The existence of New Physics particles can be probed by performing precision measurements of physics phenomena at the few GeV energy scale. The decays of B and D mesons are an excellent example of relatively low energy phenomena that can be sensitive to New Physics scales at the TeV region or above. In this contribution, some recent results obtained by the BABAR and Belle Collaborations are presented, and their implications for the indirect searches for New Physics are discussed.
