Recent measurements of the time-dependent CP violation are presented. The decays of $B_{s}^{0}$ mesons to $J/\psi\,K^+ K^-$ and $J/\psi\,\pi^+ \pi^-$ final states are used to measure CP-violating parameters with proton-proton collision…

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 $pp$…

The decays of $B_s^0$ and $\overline{B}_s^0$ mesons into the $J/\psi K^+K^-$ final state are studied in the $K^+K^-$ mass region above the $\phi(1020)$ meson in order to determine the resonant substructure and measure the $CP$-violating…

We study the potential to observe CP-violating effects in SUSY cascade decay chains at the LHC. We consider squark and gluino production followed by subsequent decays into neutralinos with a three-body leptonic decay in the final step.…

A search for CP violation in the phase-space structures of D0 and D0bar decays to the final states K-K+pi-pi+ and pi-pi+pi+pi- is presented. The search is carried out with a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0fb^-1…

Recently, the CDF collaboration has reported a measurement of the CP asymmetry in the $B\to\psi K_S$ decay: $a_{\psi K_S}=0.79^{+0.41}_{-0.44}$. We analyze the constraints that follow from this measurement on the size and the phase of…

We address the question of whether the CP violating phase in the CKM mixing matrix can be the only source of all CP violation. We show that in supersymmetric models with new flavour structure beyond the Yukawa matrices, the CKM phase can…

The LHCb experiment will search for New Physics in Bs mixing. The Bs mixing phase will be extracted from the measurement of the time-dependent CP asymmetry in exclusive Bs decays governed by the b -> ccbar s quark-level transition. Large…

The starting point of these lectures is an introduction to the weak interactions of quarks and the Standard-Model description of CP violation, where the central role is played by the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix and the corresponding…

The newly observed $\bar B^0 \to \bar K^0\pi^0$ mode is quite sizable while $\pi^-\pi^+$ is rather small. Data also hint at $\pi^-\pi^0 \gtrsim \pi^-\pi^+$. Though consistent with zero, central values of CP violating asymmetries in…

This series of five lectures describes aspects of CP violation, emphasizing its description within the standard electroweak model. After discussing the kaon system, the only place in which CP violation has been seen so far, we turn to the…

We investigate the time-evolutions of angular distributions for $B_s$ decays into final states that are admixtures of CP-even and CP-odd configurations. A sizable lifetime difference between the $B_s$ mass eigenstates allows a probe of CP…

We argue here why CP violating phase Phi in the quark mixing matrix is maximal, that is, Phi=90 degrees. In the Standard Model CP violation is related to the Jarlskog invariant J, which can be obtained from non commuting Hermitian mass…

Some past, present, and future aspects of CP violation are reviewed. The discrete symmetries C, P, and T are introduced with an example drawn from Maxwell's Equations. The history of the discovery of CP violation in the kaon system is…

We present a preliminary measurement of the time-dependent CP asymmetry for the neutral B-meson decay into the CP = +1 final state KS pi0 pi0, with KS-> pi+ pi- and pi0-> gamma gamma. We use a sample of approximately 227 million B-meson…

Flavour-tagged, time-dependent, angular analysis of the decay $B^0_s \to J/\psi \phi$ allows the determination of a CP-violating phase which in the Standard Model is denoted $-2\beta_s$, and is predicted to be very small. Many models of new…

Results by the BaBar and Belle experiments of the measurements $\sin 2\alpha$, $\sin 2\beta$ and $\sin (2\beta + \gamma)$ along with the CKM matrix elements $V_{cb}$ and $V_{ub}$ are presented. The BaBar and Belle experiments $b \to…

Final state phases \delta_f and \delta_f' in B-> D pi, barD pi decays are shown to be equal i.e. \delta =\delta_f-\delta_f' = 0. Thus CP-violating asymmetry A(t) is independent of final state phases. The estimate for the phases \delta_f and…

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…
