The measurement of CP asymmetries in charged B meson decays might provide the first demonstration of CP violation outside the K system. Among the usual three CP-odd phases $\alpha$, $\beta$ and $\gamma$, the phase $\gamma$ seems to be the…
A new and simple procedure to measure the angle $\gamma$ from $B^{\pm} \to \pi^{\pm}\pi^+\pi^-$ and $B^{\pm} \to K^{\pm}\pi^+\pi^-$ decays using SU(3) symmetry is presented. It is based on a full Dalitz plot analysis of these decays. All…
We propose a new method to extract the CP violating weak phase $\gamma$ in the CKM paradigm of the Standard Model, using $B^- \to D^0 \pi^- \to f \pi^-$ and $B^- \to \bar D^0 \pi^- \to f \pi^-$ decays, where $f$ are final states such as…
The observation of CP violation in meson decays is a testament to the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) quark mixing paradigm, and an integral part of the Standard Model (SM). The SM also predicts the existence of CP violation in baryon…
The great progress made recently in the sector of Flavor Physics has enabled to establish CP violation in the B-meson decays. The unitarity triangle derived from the unitarity relation $V_{ub}^* V_{ud} + V_{cb}^* V_{cd} + V_{tb}^* V_{td} =…

A measurement of the $CP$-violating observables from $B^{\pm}\rightarrow D^* K^{\pm}$ and $B^{\pm}\rightarrow D^* \pi^{\pm}$ decays is presented, where $D^* (D) $ is an admixture of $D^{*0}$ and $\bar{D}^{*0}$ ($D^0$ and $\bar{D}^0$) states…
A first study of CP violation in the decay modes $B^\pm\to [K^0_{\rm S} K^\pm \pi^\mp]_D h^\pm$ and $B^\pm\to [K^0_{\rm S} K^\mp \pi^\pm]_D h^\pm$, where $h$ labels a $K$ or $\pi$ meson and $D$ labels a $D^0$ or $\overline{D}^0$ meson, is…
The phenomenon of CP violation and strategies for extracting the angles of the unitarity triangle are reviewed. Special emphasis is given to the B-meson system, as it plays an outstanding role to test the Standard Model description of CP…
We report on measurements of the time-dependent CP violating observables in $B^0_s\rightarrow D^{\mp}_s K^{\pm}$ decays using a dataset corresponding to 1.0 fb$^{-1}$ of pp collisions recorded with the LHCb detector. We find the CP…
We propose a method to determine the angle $\gamma=arg(V_{ub})$, using the $B\to D^*V$ ($V=K^*, \rho$) modes. The $D^*$ is considered to decay to $D \pi$. An interference of the $B \to D^{*0}V$ and $B \to \bar {D^{*0}}V$ amplitudes is…

We propose a new method to extract the CP violating weak phase $\gamma$ (the phase of $V_{ub}^*$) in the CKM paradigm of the Standard Model, using $B^- \rightarrow D^0 \pi^- \rightarrow f \pi^-$ and $B^- \rightarrow \bar D^0 \pi^-…
The B-meson system provides many strategies to perform stringent tests of the Standard-Model description of CP violation. In this brief review, we discuss implications of the currently available B-factory data on the angles alpha, beta and…
A measurement of the CKM angle $\gamma$ using the decay channels $B^{\pm}\rightarrow DK^{\pm}$ and $B^{\pm}\rightarrow D\pi^{\pm}$, where the $D$ meson decays to $D\rightarrow K_{\rm S}^{0}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ or $D\rightarrow K_{\rm…
We study CP violation in b-baryon decays of $\Xi_b^- \to \Xi^- D$ with $D = D^0, \bar{D}^0$ and $D_i~(i=1,2)$. We find that these baryonic decay processes provide an ideal opportunity to measure the weak phase due to the absence of the…
We propose a new method to extract a CP angle $\gamma$ from semi-inclusive two-body nonleptonic decays, b ---> D^0(\bar{D}^0) s and b ---> D_{CP} s. This method is free from the unknown long distance strong interaction effects and gives…
The CKM angle $\gamma$ is determined from $C\!P$-violating observables measured in ${B^\pm \to D[ K^\mp \pi^\pm\pi^\pm\pi^\mp] h^\pm}$, $(h = K,\pi)$ decays, where the measurements are performed in bins of the decay phase-space of the $D$…
