We give a pedagogical review of the theory of CP violation with emphasis on the implications of recent experimental results. The review includes: (i) A detailed description of how CP violation arises in the Standard Model and in its…
Hadron colliders have played, and will continue to play, a crucial role in the understanding of CP violation. Their impact is expected to be especially important in the study of CP asymmetries in rare decays and the $B_s$ meson. The…
The prolific field of B meson decays and CP violation is illustrated in a few examples of recent results: The measurement of the CKM unitarity angle $\beta = \phi_1$, the measurement of a significant violation of time reversal symmetry, an…
In this talk, I review the status and prospects of several low energy flavor observables that are highly sensitive to New Physics effects. In particular I discuss the implications for possible New Physics in b --> s transitions coming from…
We present the current wisdom regarding the measurement of the CP-violating phases of the CKM unitarity triangle in $B$-meson decays. After an introduction to the SM picture of CP violation, we review direct and indirect CP violation, the…
CP violation in top physics is reviewed. The Standard Model has negligible effects, consequently CP violation searches involving the top quark may constitute the best way to look for physics beyond the Standard Model. Non-standard sources…
Generically, non-Standard-Model particles contribute to processes with order-one charge-parity (CP) violating phases, as CP is not a fundamental symmetry of nature. The exploration of CP violation becomes therefore a sensitive search for…
In these three lectures, I overview the theoretical framework of the flavour physics and CP violation. The first lecture is the introduction to the flavour physics. Namely, I give theoretical basics of the weak interaction. I follow also…
We currently live in the age of the CKM paradigm. The $3\times 3$ matrix that links $(d,\ s,\ b)$ quarks to $(u,\ c,\ t)$ in the charged current weak interaction, being complex and nominally with 18 parameters, can be accounted for by just…
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 study a long-overlooked CP violation observable, termed double-mixing CP violation, which arises from the interference between two neutral meson oscillating paths involved in a decay chain. The double-mixing CP violation is beneficial…
Rare decays were essential in the discovery of the CKM mechanism of flavour and CP violation and are highly sensitive probes of physics beyond the Standard Model. In this summary the current status and future prospects of experimental…
We present new measurements of CP-violation parameters in B0->phi/Ks, K+K-Ks, f0(980)Ks, eta'Ks, omega/Ks, Pi0/Ks, and K*0(KsPi0)/gamma decays based on a sample of 275x10^6 BBbar pairs collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the Belle…
We review the highlights of quark mixing, particle-antiparticle mixing, CP violation and rare K- and B-decays in the Standard Model. The top quark discovery, the precise measurement of its mass, the improved knowledge of the couplings…
Recent results on Heavy Flavours and CP violation are presented. After a short introduction a taste of K and D results is given. In a third part results on Vtd and Vts are summaryzed including BBbar mixing results and Bd radiative decays. A…
We review the subject of CP violation in the $B$ meson system within the Standard Model of CP violation, which is based on a complex phase in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix. Three kinds of CP nonconservation are studied: In…
In this overview, I discuss some of the open issues in Kaon physics. After briefly touching on lattice calculations of Kaon dynamics and tests of CPT, my main focus of attention is on epsilon prime over epsilon and on constraints on the CKM…
The B^0_s meson is a bound state of b and s type quarks. A CP violation parameter, \beta_s, of that system is the analogue of the parameter \beta measured precisely at the B factories in B^0 decays. The standard model predicts, robustly and…
Recent measurements at the B factories of CKM matrix elements affecting CP-violation are reviewed. The emphasis is on the unitarity triangle. Some aspects of the charm and tau sectors are mentioned.
Precise measurements of the top quark decay properties at hadron colliders offer interesting new possibilities of testing the standard model. At the same time, recent intriguing experimental results concerning CP violation in the B_d and…
