Abstract

These lectures describe CP violation and rare decays of K and B mesons and consist of ten chapters: i) Grand view of the field including CKM matrix and the unitarity triangle, ii) General aspects of the theoretical framework, iii) Particle-antiparticle mixing and CP violation, iv) Standard analysis of the unitarity triangle, v) The ratio epsilon'/epsilon including most recent developments, vi) Rare decays K^+ -> pi^+ nu barnu and K_L -> pi^0 nu barnu, vii) Express review of other rare decays, viii) Express review of CP violation in B decays, ix) A brief look beyond the Standard Model including connections between epsilon'/epsilon and CP violating rare K decays, x) Final messages.
