Measurements of $CP$-violating observables in $B$ meson decays can be used to determine the angles of the Unitarity Triangle and hence probe for manifestations of New Physics beyond the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa Standard Model paradigm. Of…
It is pointed out that the recent measurement of the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle, providing irrefutable evidence for a complex Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix, presents a great challenge for supersymmetric models with…
First, we give summary of the present values of CKM matrix elements. Then, we discuss whether CKM matrix is unitary or not, and how we can find out if it is not unitary.
We point out that hints of deviations from unitarity in the first row of the CKM matrix may be explained by the presence of a single vector-like top. We study how the stringent experimental constraints arising from CP Violation in the kaon…
The decay modes $B$ to $\pi\pi$, $\psi K_S$, $K^- D$, $\pi K$ and $\eta K$ are promising channels to study the unitarity triangle of the CP violating CKM matrix. In this paper I study the consequences of these measurements in the Weinberg…
The status of CP violation and the CKM matrix is reviewed. Direct CP violation in B decay has been established and the measurement of sin(2beta) in \psi K modes reached 5% accuracy. I discuss the implications of these, and of the possible…
A summary of recent progress in charm mixing and CP violation is presented, with a heavy bias towards experimental results.
A future linear collider such as TESLA may be able to run on the Z0 resonance with very high luminosity and polarised electron and positron beams. The possibilities of measuring electroweak quantities with high precision are investigated.…
I review the many ways of obtaining information about the CKM matrix through CP violation in the $B$ system. I include direct and indirect CP violation, the role of penguins and isospin analysis, tagging, and $B\to DK$ decays. I also…

In this talk I review the current status of the CKM matrix. A special emphasis is also given to several discrepancies between experiments and the standard model at the level of about three standard deviations. Recent results that appeared…
