CP is a symmetry of pure gauge theories, that is without scalar interactions. Actually its violation originates in the Standard Model from the completely arbitrary Yukawa couplings. Thus, as the unification principle would wash out the…
We review the historical developments leading to the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) quark mixing matrix. Present status of the CKM matrix from direct measurements is summarized, giving also the present profile of the unitarity triangle. CP…
The study of $C\!P$ violation in decays of beauty- and charm-hadrons provides a fundamental test of the predictions of the Standard Model (SM) and represents a sensitive probe to search for physics effects that cannot be described within…
The CP violation required in leptogenesis may have different origin, but in an effective theory they all are related to the rephasing invariant CP violating measure in the mixing matrix of the leptonic sector. We point out that the maximum…
The standard model satisfies Sakharov's conditions for baryogenesis but the CP violation in the KM matrix appears too small to account for the observed asymmetry. In this letter we explore a mechanism through which CP violation can be…
The mechanism of CP violation remains one of the puzzles in particle physics. Key to understanding this phenomenon are nonleptonic $B$ decays, especially multibody decays which exhibit large CP asymmetries in various regions of phase space.…
We present an overview of CP violation in the Standard Model and Beyond, describing various possible sources of CP violation and how to search for them.
Observation in astronomy suggests that our Universe contains an abundance of matter over antimatter, which can only be explained if the combined CP symmetry is violated. Studies of CP violation have driven the flavor physics with the aim of…
These lectures give a brief description of CP violation in B and K meson decays with particular emphasize put on the determination of the CKM matrix. The following topics will be discussed: i) The CKM matrix, the unitarity triangle and…
We analyse the CP problem in the context of a supersymmetric extension of the standard model with universal strength of Yukawa couplings. A salient feature of these models is that the CP phases are constrained to be very small by the…
Finding \cp~violation (\CPV ) in 1964 produced a real revolution in the fundamental dynamics, although the community did not understand it right away. The paper by Kobayashi \& Maskawa \cite{KM} appeared in 1973 to describe \CPV~in classes…
Several pieces of direct and indirect evidence now suggest that the Kobayashi-Maskawa mechanism plays a distinguished role for CP violation at the electroweak scale. This talk provides a general overview of CP violation in its various…
We review CP violation in various extensions of the electroweak sector of the Standard Model. A particular emphasis is put on supersymmetric models. We describe the two CP problems of supersymmetry, concerning $d_N$ and $\epsilon_K$. We…
Discrete symmetry violation in the weak interaction is central to the Standard Model of particle physics, however the origin of these violations is not well understood. Nor are we able to provide a satisfactory explanation of the Universal…
CP violations in B meson decays at hadron colliders are reviewed. In particular I examine: $B^0-\bar{B^0}$ mixing and oscillations within Standard Model and the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa picture for CP violations; $B^0$ decays into CP…
Simply on CP arguments, we argue against a Standard Model explanation of baryogenesis via the charge transport mechanism. A CP-asymmetry is found in the reflection coefficients of quarks hitting the electroweak phase boundary created during…
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…
The study of CP violation in $B$-meson decays has already reached a high level of precision, which will be pushed even higher in the future era of Belle-II and the LHCb upgrade. %Important probes of CP violation are the $B_d^0$ and $B_s^0$…
CP violation of the SM is insufficient to explain the baryon asymmetry in the universe and therefore an additional source of CP violation is needed. Here the extension of the SM by a neutral complex scalar singlet with a nonzero vacuum…
The standard model (SM) has several issues related to the $CP$ violation which could give clues to search physics beyond the SM. They are a $CP$ phase in the CKM matrix, the strong $CP$ problem, $CP$ phases in the PMNS matrix and $CP$…
