In this decade, the exploration of CP violation is governed by the B-meson system, where non-leptonic decays play an outstanding role. To set the stage, we have first a look at the main strategies to circumvent the calculation of the…
The measurement of the CP violation in the b-meson system and of b-meson rare decays provides information about the electroweak symmetry breaking in terms of flavour structure of the CKM matrix and flavour changing neutral currents. The…
The interference between Bs decay amplitudes to CP eigenstates Jpsi X directly or including Bs-Bsbar oscillation gives rise to a measurable CP violating phase phi_s. Here, a preliminary measurement of phi_s with Bs -> JpsiK+K- decays, and…
After an introduction to the Standard-Model description of CP violation, we turn to the main focus of these lectures, the B-meson system. Since non-leptonic B decays play the key role for the exploration of CP violation, we have to discuss…
We review recent B physics results from the CDF and Dzero experiments in p-pbar collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV. Using a data sample of 1.4-6.0 fb-1 collected by the CDF II detector we present searches for New Physics in Bs sector and some…
CP-violating effects in decays of B mesons offer a wide spectrum of probes for testing the phase structure of the quark-flavour sector of the Standard Model. After a brief discussion of the picture emerging from the current LHC data, the…
Recently, the CDF and D0 collaborations measured indirect CP violation in Bs -> J/psi phi and found a hint of a signal. If taken at face value, this can be interpreted as a nonzero phase of Bs-Bsbar mixing (beta_s), in disagreement with the…
We present a measurement of the direct CP-violating charge asymmetry in B^+/- mesons decaying to J/psi K^+/- and J/psi pi^+/- where J/psi decays to mu^+ mu^-, using the full Run II data set of 10.4 fb^-1 of proton-antiproton collisions…
Measurements of mixing and $CP$ violation in $b$-hadron decays are great probes to search for physics beyond the Standard Model. A selection of recent results based upon $3.0\ \mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of LHCb data are presented. These are the…
The prolific field of B meson decays and CP violation is illustrated in a few examples of recent results: The measurement of the CKM unitarity angle $\beta = \phi_1$, the measurement of a significant violation of time reversal symmetry, an…
The study of CP violation in $B_s^0$ oscillations is one of the key goals of the LHCb experiment. Effects are predicted to be very small in the Standard Model but can be significantly enhanced in many models of new physics. We present the…
The $B_s^0-\bar{B}_s^0$ system can be used to look for new sources of CP violation. Time-dependent CP violation measurements of beauty mesons allow the determination of the mixing induced CP-violating phase, $\phi_s$. The angular analysis…

Beijing Spectrometer (BES) at Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC), IHEP has accumulated 2.5 $\times 10^7$ J/$\Psi$ and plans to increase the number to $10^8 \sim 10^9$ in the near future. In this paper I review and summarize the…
The determination of the CP-violating phase $\phi_s$ in $B^0_s \rightarrow J/\psi \phi$ decays is one of the key goals of the LHCb experiment. Its value is predicted to be very small in the Standard Model but can be significantly enhanced…
In this talk I discuss two topics related to B decays. I will first discuss the Standard Model prediction for $B\to \eta' X_s$, and then discuss how to use experimental information from $B\to J/\psi K^*$ to test CP violation beyond the SM.
The measurements of B_s mesons and b baryons advanced greatly in the past year. The ground state b baryon Xi_b^0 was observed for the first time; numerous decay modes of the B_s^0 and b baryons were newly seen; measurements of CP violation…
Rare lepton decays of the B(s), D and K mesons are sensitive probes of New Physics. In particular, the search for the decays $B^0_(s) -> \mu^+ \mu^-$ provides information on the presence of new (pseudo-)scalar particles. LHCb is well suited…
The radiative decays of the B mesons may have a significant contribution from the transition b -> s J/psi followed by the J/psi-photon conversion. The size of this contribution is re-analysed in the light of a phenomenological model for the…
