The recent experimental results on CP violation related to the angles of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) unitarity triangle 2beta+gamma are summarized in these proceedings. These results are obtained with approximately 232 million…
All of the experimental data points presented in the original paper are correct and unchanged (including statistical and systematic uncertainties). However, herein we correct a comparison between the experimental data and a theoretical…
We report a measurement of the CP-violation parameter sin2beta with B^0 -> J/psi K^0_S decays in which the J/psi decays to hadrons or to muons that do not satisfy our standard identification criteria. With a sample of 88 million BBbar…
We present the complete differential decay rates for the process B_s -> J/psi K^+ K^- including S-wave and P-wave angular momentum states for the K^+ K^- meson pair. We examine the effect of an S-wave component on the determination of the…
A sample of 400 $B^0_d/\bar{B}{^0_d} \to J/\psi K^0_s$ decays collected in $\bar{p}p$ collisions by the CDF detector is used to directly measure the CP-violation parameter $\sin(2\beta)$. We find $\sin(2\beta) = 0.79…
Recent time-dependent CP asymmetry measurements in the $B_d \to J/\psi K_S$ channel by the BaBar and Belle Collaborations yield somewhat lower values of $\sin 2\beta$ compared to the one obtained from the standard model fit. If the…
An assumption of isospin symmetry permits the determination of sin(2 alpha) from the experimental study of B\to pi pi decays. Isospin, however, is merely an approximate symmetry; its breaking predicates a theoretical systematical error…
BABAR has studied the time dependent asymmetries in the the decays B0 -> J/psi K0S and B0 -> psi(2S) K0S in a data set of 9.0 fb^-1 taken at the Y(4S)resonance. In these channels we reconstruct 168 events of which 120 are flavor tagged and…
We present preliminary results of a time-dependent measurement of CP-violating asymmetry in fully reconstructed B0->D^(*)+-pi-+ decays in a data sample of approximately 88 million Y(4S)->BB decays collected with the BaBar detector at the…
The LHCb collaboration has recently measured the CP asymmetry in $B^+\to J/\psi\pi^+$ decay, while the Belle II collaboration has recently measured the CP asymmetries in $B^0\to J/\psi\pi^0$ decay. Within the Standard Model, and using…
We first review the methods for determining gamma from B->D K decays that appeared after CKM 2008. We then discuss the theoretical errors in gamma extraction. The errors due to neglected D-Dbar and B_{d,s}-Bbar_{d,s} mixing can be avoided…
The time-dependent CP asymmetries in fully reconstructed B0 --> D(*)pi/rho decays (new preliminary result), and in partially reconstructed B0 --> D(*)pi decays, are measured with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B factory at…
We present several alternative techniques used by the BaBar Collaboration in order to measure the Unitarity Triangle angle gamma. We also present the results of two searches designed to improve the measurements of sin(2beta) using penguin B…
We study the implication of the time-dependent CP asymmetry in $B\to\pi^+\pi^-$ decays on the extraction of weak phases taking into account the precise measurement of $\sin 2\beta$, obtained from the ``gold-plated''mode $B\to J/\psi K_S$.…
We present an improved measurement of the standard model CP violation parameter sin2phi1 (also known as sin2beta) based on a sample of 45 x 10^6 BBbar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEK…
We calculate the branching ratio of $B\to J/\Psi\pi^{0}$ with a mixed formalism that combines the QCD-improved factorization and the perturbative QCD approaches. The result is consistent with experimental data. The quite small penguin…
We present a method to measure the weak phase 2beta+gamma in the three-body decay B0 -> D+- Ks pi-+. These decays are mediated by interfering amplitudes which are color-allowed and hence relatively large. In addition, the three-body decay…
Recently, the Babar and Belle collaborations have reported their first measurements of the CP-violating asymmetry in Bd --> psi KS, and more precise results will follow soon. We discuss what a future evidence for small sin(2 beta) could…
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 measurement of sin2beta by the BABAR experiment, where beta is one of the angles of the Unitarity Triangle, is described. Some prospects for the future of the measurement are also discussed.
