CP Violation in B Decays

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2017-08-23 v5

Abstract

The role of B decays in the study of CP violation is reviewed. We treat the interactions and spectroscopy of the bb quark and then introduce CP violation in BB meson decays, including time-dependences, decays to CP eigenstates and non-eigenstates, and flavor tagging. Additional topics include studies of strange BB's, decays to pairs of light pseudoscalar mesons, and the roles of gluonic and electroweak penguin diagrams, and final-state interactions.
