Abstract

30 years ago M. Kobayashi and T. Masakawa (won the Nobel Prize in physics 2008 for their famous t heory), gave a theory to explaining CP violation. This theory predicted that large CP violation wou ld be observed in B mesons . In the last 10 years, Both the B-factories (babar at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, USA and Belle at KEK, Japan) have observed large CP violation as predicted by th e KM mechanism. The ground breaking experimental results of Flavor Oscillation and CP violation in B and D mesons are summarized and compared with the Standard Model expectations.
