This lecture contains a brief introduction to CP violation in the B system before discussing future experimental programmes and their CP reach in the B system.
In recent years, the CKM picture of flavor and CP violation has been confirmed, mainly due to B decay data. Yet, it is likely that there are small corrections to this picture. We expect to find new physics not much above the weak scale.…
This is a pedagogical review of some selected topics of CP and T violation in the decays of K mesons. Diagonalization of the quark mass matrix and the emergence of the complex phase in both the standard and the left--right symmetric models…
In this talk, I review the various measurements that have been made over the years of CP-violating observables in $B$ decays. These include indirect CP asymmetries, direct CP asymmetries, and triple products. All are discussed in the…
Although CP violation was discovered more than thirty years ago, its origin is still unknown. In these lectures, we describe the CP-violating effects which have been seen in K decays, and explain how CP violation can be caused by the…
Experimental data on rare $B$-meson decays indicate deviations from Standard Model predictions. In studies of these decays, possible new sources of CP violation are often neglected. We discuss CP violation in the rare $B$-meson decays $B\to…
The measurement of the CP violation in the b-meson system and of b-meson rare decays provides information about the electroweak symmetry breaking in terms of flavour structure of the CKM matrix and flavour changing neutral currents. The…
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…
This is a quick review of CP non-conservation in $B$ physics. Several methods are described for testing the Kobayashi-Maskawa single phase origin of CP violation in B decays, pointing out some limitations due to hadronic uncertainties. A…
Recent experimental results on CP violation in the study of B meson decays are reviewed. The emphasis is put on the recent measurements of the CP parameter sin2beta by the BABAR and BELLE experiments at asymmetric B factories, which…
An up-to-date profile of the CKM matrix is presented, with emphasis on the interpretation of recent CP-violation results from the $B$ factories. The apex of the Unitarity Triangle is determined by a global CKM fit. A study is performed to…
We review new physics effects on CP violation in B decays. We describe the Standard Model predictions for the various types of CP asymmetries and discuss the theoretical cleanliness of these predictions. We point out the ingredients in the…
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…
In this talk we discuss rare B decays (b -> s gamma, b -> s g, b -> s l^+ l^-), B-\bar{B} oscillations and CP violation in B physics in the context of low-energy SUSY. We outline the variety of predictions that arise according to the choice…
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.…
Planned as a review of CPV in B-mesons which covered recent B-factories results these lectures appeared to be a bit wider. It is not natural to be limited by direct CPV and that in mixing in B-mesons and not to speak about the analogous…
We review the information on the CKM matrix elements, unitarity triangle and CP-violating phases $\alpha, \beta$ and $\gamma$ in the standard model which will be measured in the forthcoming experiments at B factories, HERA-B and hadron…
We review the status of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements and the CP-violating phases in the CKM-unitarity triangle. The emphasis in these lecture notes is on $B$-meson physics, though we also review the current status and…
The focus of our considerations is the B-meson system, which will provide stringent tests of the Kobayashi-Maskawa mechanism of CP violation in this decade. After a classification of the main possible strategies to achieve this goal, we…
Recent highlights in CP violation phenomena are reviewed. B-factory results imply that CP-violation phase in the CKM matrix is the dominant contributor to the observed CP violation in K and B-physics. Deviations from the predictions of the…
