Determination of the characteristic CP-violating quantity \sin (2\beta) should be the central goal of a B-meson factory in its first-round experiments. Except the gold-plated channels B_d\to \psi K_S and \psi K_L, three other types of B_d…
The $B^0_{s,d} \to J/\psi \eta^{(\prime)}$ decays provide new terrain for exploring CP violation. After briefly discussing $\eta$-$\eta'$ mixing, we analyse the effective lifetimes and CP-violating observables of the $B_s$ channels, which…
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 special features of CP violation in the Standard Model are presented. The significance of measuring CP violation in B, K and D decays is explained. The predictions of the Standard Model for CP asymmetries in B decays are analyzed in…

We present measurements from Belle and BABAR of the time-dependent CP-violation parameters S and C in B->eta'K0 decays. Both experiments observe mixing-induced CP violation with a significance of more than 5 standard deviations in this b->…
Direct CP violations in $B_{l4}$ decays ($B^\pm \to \pi^+\pi^- l^\pm {\nu}_l$) are investigated within the Standard Model (SM) and also in its extensions. In the decay processes, we include various excited states as intermediate states…
CP-violating effects in non-leptonic $B_s$-meson decays are reviewed. Special emphasis is given to implications arising from the width difference $\Delta\Gamma_s$ between the $B_s$ mass eigenstates. If $\Delta\Gamma_s$ is found to be…
We consider the decay B0(t) -> hyperon + antihyperon, followed by hyperon weak decay. We show that parity violation in the latter allows to reach new CP observables: not only Im(lambda_f) but also Re(lambda_f) can be measured. In the decay…
If New Physics contributes significantly to neutral meson mixing, then it is quite likely that it does so in a CP violating manner. In $D^0-\bar D^0$ mixing measured through $D^0\rightarrow K^+\pi^-$, CP violation induces a term $\propto…
We present the recent measurements of the B0 -> eta' K0 and the B -> omega K decay modes based on the full data set of 772x10^6 BBbar pairs collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider. In the B0 -> eta' K^{0} mode, we obtain…
We present a novel method to search for a new CP-violating phase in b -> ss~ss~s transition using B -> phi phi Xs decays, where Xs represents a final state with a specific strange flavor such as K+/-, K*+/-, or K+/-pi-/+. Direct CP…

I review CP violation in the standard model (SM). I also describe the predictions for CP violation in the B system, along with signals for physics beyond the SM. I stress the numerous contributions of Pat O'Donnell to this subject. Finally,…
In this presentation, we discuss recent key topics in theoretical analyses of CP violation in benchmarks decays of the $B$ meson. We provide the most updated values of the mixing phases and discuss the importance of including the penguin…
I present three studies from the LHCb experiment on the subject of direct CP violation in $B^0$ and $B_s$ decays. First, we measure the CP asymmetry in $B^\pm\to\psi K^\pm$ decays, with $\psi=J/\psi, \psi(2S)$, using 0.35 $fb^{-1}$ of $pp$…
A time-dependent, flavour-tagged measurement of $CP$ violation is performed with ${B^0}\rightarrow{D^{+}D^{-}}$ and ${B^{0}_{s}}\rightarrow{D^{+}_{s}D^{-}_{s}}$ decays, using data collected by the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions…
Recent results on the $B$ CP-violation parameter $\sin2\phi_1$, the $B^0_d$-$\overline{B}^0_d$ mixing parameter $\Delta m_d$ and $B$-meson lifetimes are reported. The results are based on 10.5 $fb^{-1}$ of data collected with the Belle…
