Various developing topics in CP violation are reviewed. There are many theoretical reasons to hope that the CKM paradigm may be incomplete. It is surely too soon to be claiming new physics in \epsilon^\prime/\epsilon or in D^0-\bar D^0…
We report measurements of hadronic final states produced in $e^+e^-$ annihilations from the BaBar and Belle experiments. In particular, we present cross sections measured in several different processes, including two-photon physics,…
We investigate possible CP violating effects in $e^+e^-$ annihilation into top quark pairs. One of the interesting observable effects is the difference in production rates between the two CP conjugate polarized states $t_L\bar t_L$ and…
The CKM paradigm has been proven to be successful in explaining the flavour structure of the standard model and the non-trivial imaginary phase of the CKM matrix is the only know source of CP-violation. B-meson decays allow us to precisely…
We consider various integrated lepton charge-energy asymmetries and azimuthal asymmetries as tests of CP violation in the process $e^-e^+ \to W^-W^+$. These asymmetries are sensitive to different linear combinations of the CP violating form…
We discuss how a possible violation of the combined symmetry CPT in the B meson system can be investigated at the LHC. We show how a tagged and an untagged analysis of the decay modes of both B(d) and B(s) mesons can lead not only to a…
We present the summary of the working group on $B$ mixing and the related CP violation at the CKM 2014 workshop. The contributions reflect the experimental and theoretical progress in the field over the last two years since the last CKM…
We demonstrate that the R-parity breaking interactions within their current experimental upper bounds can give rise to large mixing-induced CP asymmetry in exclusive radiative B decays that may be detectable in the upcoming B factories.
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 $B\to J/\psi K_S$.…
The CKM angle $\gamma/\phi_{3}$ had been measured by two B-factories, the PEPII collider for the BaBar experiment and the KEKB collider for the Belle experiments. The present paper reports recent progress in $\gamma/\phi_{3}$.
The area of the unitarity triangle is a measure of CP-violation. We introduce the leptonic unitarity triangles and study their properties. We consider the possibility of reconstructing the unitarity triangle in future oscillation and…
After an introduction to the Standard-Model description of CP violation, we turn to the main focus of these lectures, the B-meson system. Since non-leptonic B decays play the key role for the exploration of CP violation, we have to discuss…
In the present paper we review recent experimental results from the BaBar experiment concerning the measurement of the CKM angles. A particular highlight is given to the novel independent determination of the angle alpha from B0 ->…
In this work we analyze the observable asymmetries one can build from entangled B-meson states, in order to extract information on the parameters epsilon and delta which govern indirect violation of discrete symmetries. The traditionally…
A brief review of CP violation in $K$ and $B$ decays is given. While the observables $\varepsilon$ and Re$(\varepsilon'/\varepsilon)$ describing CP violation in neutral $K$ decays do not allow a powerful test of the CKM mechanism of CP…
To provide focus to my review of charm theory at the B-Physics and CP-Violation conference, I consider theoretical issues related to possible charm studies at B-factories. A few topics of interest to the author are stressed -- rare decays,…
We consider a general two-Higgs-doublet model with CP violation in the scalar sector. Three neutral Higgs fields of the model all mix and the resulting physical Higgs bosons have no definite CP properties. That leads, at the one-loop level…
A review of CP violation in the $B$ system and strategies to determine the unitarity triangle of the CKM matrix is given. We begin with an introduction to the description of CP violation in the Standard Model of electroweak interactions,…
We investigate quark flavor signals in three different supersymmetric models, the minimal supergravity, the SU(5) SUSY GUT with right handed neutrinos, and the minimal supersymmetric standard model with U(2) flavor symmetry, in order to…
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…
