Recently, the CDF and D{\O} collaborations have claimed that the CP violating phase in $B_s^0-\bar{B}_s^0$ mixing is large, which is contrary to the expectations in the Standard Model. Such a large phase suggests New Physics contributions…
Recent BaBar measurements on lifetime and mixing of B mesons are reported. Various techniques are used, ranging from the full reconstruction of hadronic B decays, to partial reconstruction techniques, and to a totally inclusive approach…
I discuss how the novel experimental data on D0 - D0bar mixing can be combined to provide information on the fundamental theoretical quantities describing the mixing itself. I then discuss the theoretical impact of the new data, focusing in…
We review the current status of B-mixing observables and point out the crucial importance of a control of the hadronic uncertainties for ruling out or confirming hints of BSM physics. In addition we introduce a rating system for theory…
These proceedings provide a brief overview of the status of $B$ meson physics, putting particular emphasis on precision tests of the Standard Model with meson mixing data, and on the anomalies in charged- and neutral-current semileptonic…
$B_q^0-B_^0 bar$ mixing offers a profound probe into the effects of new physics beyond the Standard Model. In this paper, $B_s^0-B_s^0 bar$ and $B_d^0-B_d^0 bar$ mass differences are considered taking the effect of both Z-and Z' -mediated…
In this review, the $X^{0}-\bar{X}^{0}$\ mixing ($% X^{0}=B^{0},B_{s}^{0},K^{0}$) and its implication for CP\ violation in the standard model are discussed. Both direct and mixing induced CP\ violation for $K^{0}(\bar{K}^{0})$,…
We review the current status of D0-antiD0 mixing, with special emphasis in the most recent results. We begin with a discussion of charm mixing and CP violation phenomenology, the evolution with the decay proper time, and physics processes…
I present numerical updates of the Standard-Model predictions for the mass and width differences and the CP asymmetries in flavor-specific decays in Bs-Bs-bar and Bd-Bd-bar mixing. Then I discuss the current status of new physics in these…
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 discuss ``cascade mixing", where one particle mixture, say a B0, leads to another, say a K0. A simple analysis is possible in the amplitude approach, which avoids ``collapses of the wavefunction" and is explicitly covariant. Some novel…
We describe a measurement of B^0-B^0bar mixing parameters exploiting a method of partial reconstruction of the decay chains B0 -> D^{*-}\pi^+ and B0 -> D^{*-}\rho^+. Using 9.6 x 10^6 BBbar pairs collected at the Cornell Electron Storage…
We report on the advances in our unquenched calculation of the matrix elements relevant for the analysis of B^0-\bar B^0 mixing using the Asqtad (light quark) and Fermilab (heavy quark) actions. We have calculated the hadronic parameters…
After an introduction to the Standard-Model description of CP violation and a brief look at the present status of this phenomenon in the kaon system, a classification of non-leptonic B-decays is given and the formalism of…
We review results from searches for mixing and CP violation in the D0-D0bar system. No evidence for mixing or CP violation is found, and limits are set for the mixing parameters x, y, x', y', and several CP-violating parameters.
Recent results on CP parameters of the B systems obtained by the CDF and D0 collaborations using the data samples collected at the Tevatron Collider in the period 2002 - 2007 were presented at the QCD 2008 conference (Montpellier, France).…
In the model III 2HDM there are new CP violating phases which would affect the $B_{d,s}^0 - \bar{B}_{d,s}^0$ mixing. In this paper, we calculate the new physics contributions to the neutral B meson mass splitting $\Delta M_{B_q}$ (q=d, s)…
Many topics are discussed in b physics including lifetimes, decay mechanisms, determinations of the CKM matrix elements |V_{cb}| and |V_{ub}|, facilities for b quark studies, neutral $B$ meson mixing, rare b decays, hadronic decays and CP…
This paper summarizes two experimental issues in the study of particle antiparticle mixing. We propose a new method to extract the ratio $|V_{ts}/V_{td}|^2$ from a measurement of $\Delta \Gamma/\Gamma$ for the $B_s$ meson. This method is…
The identification of the flavor of a neutral $B$ meson can make use of hadrons produced nearby in phase space. Examples include the decay of ``$B^{**}$'' resonances or the production of hadrons as a result of the fragmentation process.…
