We summarize both the study of CP violation with $K$ and $B$ mesons, as well as rare decays of kaons, emphasizing recent developments. The topics discussed include the unitarity triangle, $\epsilon'/\epsilon$, $K\to\pi\nu\bar\nu$ and other…

We point out that decays of the kind $B_d\to D_\pm K_{S(L)}$ and $B_s\to D_\pm\eta^{(')},D_\pm\phi, ...$, where $D_+$ and $D_-$ denote the CP-even and CP-odd eigenstates of the neutral D-meson system, respectively, provide very efficient,…
Several experiments are about to measure the CP asymmetry for $B \to \psi K_S$ and other decays. The standard model together with the Kobayashi-Maskawa ansatz for CP violation predicts the sign as well as the magnitude for this asymmetry.…
We study the CP phases of the soft supersymmetry breaking terms in string-inspired models with non-universal trilinear couplings. We show that such non-universality plays an important role on all CP violating processes. In particular these…
We analyze the prospects for observing CPT violation using neutral-meson P0-P0bar systems. Before one can claim a measurement of CPT violation, one must be able to rule out the possibility that its result is due to simpler new-physics…
CP violation can be observed in B decays when a given process depends upon interference between two weak amplitudes which have different $CP$-violating phases. Since most weak decay diagrams have quark lines where each has a definite flavor…
We review several methods for determining the Kobayashi-Maskawa phase $\gamma={\rm Arg} V^*_{ub}$ from rate and CP asymmetry measurements in hadronic B decays. We focus on the processes $B\to DK, B_s\to D_s K$, and on charmless decays to…
Employing an effective formalism for decaying system we are able to investigate Heisenberg's uncertainty relation for observables measured at accelerator facilities. In particular we investigate the neutral K--meson system and show that,…
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…
There has been a lot of recent interest in the experimental hints of CP violation in B_{d,s}^0 mixing, which would be a clear signal of beyond the standard model physics (with higher significance). We derive a new relation for the mixing…
If the Standard Model explanation of CP violation is correct, then measurements of CP-violating asymmetries in $B$ meson decays can in principle determine the entire quark mixing matrix.
We present the general formalism for studying CP-violating phenomena in the production, mixing and decay of a coupled system of CP-violating neutral Higgs bosons at high-energy colliders. Considering the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard…

Brief overview of the present status on mixing and CP violation in kaons and B mesons is given by means of the unitarity triangle. Theoretical predictions on epsilon'/epsilon are confronted with experimental results. The prospects of…
We propose that the CP violating phase in the CKM mixing matrix is identical to the CP phases responsible for the spontaneous CP violation in the Higgs potential. A specific multi-Higgs model with Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry is constructed…
