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…
I review the status of CP violating phenomena and CPT tests in the neutral Kaon system. Comparisons of present data with the expectations of the Cabibbo Kobayashi Maskawa model are presented, with particular emphasis being focused on the…
Rare kaon processes appear to be particularly suitable to study the extensions of the standard model, especially if the possibility for eventual direct evidence becomes unlikely. In this review, we discuss processes that are important as a…
The current status of rare kaon decay experiments is reviewed. New limits in the search for Lepton Flavor Violation are discussed, as are new measurements of the CKM matrix.
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…
Systems of neutral interacting mesons are investigated, concerning in particular the validity of their description by an effective hamiltonian. First, I study its connection to quantum field theory and show that the spectrum of such systems…
The Cabibbo-Cobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix parametrizes the misalignement between the up- and down-quark mass basis in the Standard Model (SM). The observation of first row CKM unitarity violation has recently emerged as a new anomaly of…
We review the present status of CP violation in the standard model. Subsequently we make an excursion in the future in order to see what we could expect in this field in this and the next decade. We present various strategies for the…
Kaon flavour physics has played in the 1960s and 1970s a very important role in the construction of the Standard Model (SM) and in the 1980s and 1990s in SM tests with the help of CP violation in $K_L\to\pi\pi$ decays represented by…
With the running B, kaon and neutrino physics experiments, flavour physics takes centre stage within today's particle physics. We discuss the opportunities offered by these experiments in our search for new physics beyond the SM and discuss…
If CP violation in the decays of neutral kaons is due to phases in the weak couplings of quarks, as encoded in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix, there are many other experimental consequences. Notable among these are CP-violating…
Precision data on Kl3 and Kl2 decay rates and form factors allow us to perform significant tests of lepton universality and to constrain the strength of non-standard interactions. The present status of these tests and new physics searches…
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…
The first lattice result from the RBC and UKQCD Collaborations and improved perturbative calculations of $\varepsilon^{\prime}_K / \varepsilon_K$ have implied that the Standard-Model (SM) expectation deviates from measured values at the…
CKM-unitarity, direct and indirect CP-violation and the \Delta I=1/2 rule in full lattice QCD are the focus of this talk. To this end I will discuss and compare recent lattice results for leptonic, semi-leptonic and non-leptonic decays of…
We investigate the future determination of the CKM matrix using theoretically clean quantities, like $B(K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar\nu)$, $B(K_L\to\pi^0\nu\bar\nu)$ or $\sin 2\beta$, $\sin 2\alpha$ as extracted from CP violation studies in $B$…
We present a brief overview of the recent theoretical progress to describe the K_{l2} and K_{l3} decays. We discuss the interesting probes of the Standard Model offered by these decays such as the extraction of |V_{us}| and the test of the…
In recent work on experimental tests of quantum-gravity-motivated phenomenological models, a significant role has been played by the so-called ``$\kappa$'' deformations of Poincar\'e symmetries. Sensitivity to values of the relevant…
A short overview of FCNC and CP-violating observables in K decays is presented. Particular attention is paid to the possibility of performing precision tests of flavour dynamics and to the search for New Physics.
We review a phenomenological parametrization of an open quantum-mechanical formalism for CPT violation in the neutral kaon system, and constrain the parameters using fits to recent CPLEAR data.
