In top-pair events where at least one of the tops decays semi-leptonically, the identification of the lepton charge allows to tag not only the top charge but also that of the subsequent b quark. In cases where the b also decays…
CP-violation in the quark sector has been well established over the last decade, but has not been observed in the lepton sector. We search for CP-violating decay processes in positronium, using the angular correlation of…

Experimental prospects for observing CP violation in B-meson decays are reviewed. Comparisons are made for various options: experiments at $e^+ e^-$ B-Meson Factories, HERA and the TEVATRON will produce results in near future. They will…
We consider the possibility of observing CP violation in quasi-inclusive decays of the type $B^-\to K^- X$, $B^-\to K^{*-} X$, $\bar B^0\to K^- X$ and $\bar B^0\to K^{*-} X$, where $X$ does not contain strange quarks. We present estimates…
We present an overview of a few recent results related to CP-violation from the Tevatron. First, we discuss a measurement of the dimuon charge asymmetry from D{\O}that extracts the CP-violation parameter of $\Bo$ mixing and decay. This is…
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…
Attention is drawn to the several 2-3 $\sigma$ "anomalies" in B, $B_s$ mixings and decays involving CP-observables. Perhaps the most interesting theoretical scenario that could cause such effects is based on warped extra-dimensional models…
We give a description of why the existence of a fourth generation is likely to provide enough CP violation for baryogenesis, and trace how this observation came about. We survey the current experimental and theoretical pursuits and outline…

We estimate the CP asymmetry A_{CP}(q^2) in the decays B --> X_s mu+ mu- and B --> X_d mu+ mu- in the standard model (SM) with an additional fourth generation. We use a parametrization that allows us to explore the complete parameter space…

Measurements of CP asymmetries in B decays will soon be made at $B$ factories and hadron machines. In light of this, we review and update the profile of the CKM unitarity triangle and the resulting CP asymmetries in B decays. This is done…

CP violation in the field of $B$ physics is a crucial topic for exploring the quark sector and search for New Physics, both for theorists and experimentalists. CP violation manifests itself in various ways and in this presentation, we will…
The LHCb experiment has been reporting remarkable $C\!P$-violation (CPV) measurements concerning the sectors of $b$ and $c$ quarks. Recently, the new measurements of time-integrated CPV with $D^0\to K^+ K^-$ decays led to the first evidence…
We present a measurement of the time-dependent CP-violating (CPV) asymmetries in $B^{0}\to K_{s}^{0}\pi^{0}$ decays based on 124 million $\Upsilon(4S)\to B\bar{B}$ decays collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy $B$…
We investigate the influence of the fourth generation of quarks on the branching ratio, the CP-asymmetry and the polarization asymmetries in $B \rar \rho \ell^+ \ell^-$ decay. Taking $|V_{t'd}V_{t'b}|\sim 0.001$ with phase about $10^\circ$,…
