We present the first study of the time-dependent CP-violating asymmetry in B0 -> J/psi pi0 decays using e+e- annihilation data collected with the BaBar detector at the Upsilon(4S) resonance during the years 1999-2002 at the PEP-II…

We report a measurement of CP asymmetry parameters in the decay B0(B0bar) -> J/Psi pi0, which is governed by the b->c cbar d transition. The analysis is based on a 140/fb data sample accumulated at the Upsilon(4S) resonance by the belle…

Using events in which one of two neutral B mesons from the decay of an Y(4S) resonance is fully reconstructed, we set limits on the lifetime difference between the two neutral-B mass eigenstates and on CP, T, and CPT violation in B0-B0bar…

We compute the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the off-diagonal elements of the decay-width matrix Gamma entering the neutral B-meson oscillations. From this calculation the width differences DeltaGamma and the CP violation…

The recent Belle and Babar measurements of the branching ratios $B^- \to \pi^+ \pi^- K^-$ and $B^- \to K^+ K^- K^-$ and $B^\pm \to \chi_{c0} K^\pm$ have renewed interests in these decays as another mean to look for direct CP violation in B…

The observation of CP violation effects is becoming more and more significant in a variety of channels, due to the impressive experimental effort of the last years. We review recent progress in Bs semileptonic decays and in Bs decays into…

The two kinds of indirect CP violation in neutral meson systems are related, in the absence of new weak phases in decay. The result is a model-independent expression relating CP violation in mixing, CP violation in the interference of…

We analyze the asymmetry in the partial widths for the decays $B^{\pm} \to M {\bar M} \pi^{\pm}$ ($ M = \pi^+, K ^+, \pi^0, \eta$), which results from the interference of the nonresonant decay amplitude with the resonant amplitude for…

We review experimental and theoretical aspects of CP violation in the $B_s^0$-system. In that respect we present updates for the mixing parameters of the $B_s^0$ mesons expected in the Standard Model (SM): the mass difference $\Delta…

The difference in the time dependent CP asymmetries between the modes $B --> psi K_S$ and $B --> phi K_S$ is a clean signal for physics beyond the Standard Model. This interpretation could fail if there is a large enhancement of the matrix…

We present a measurement of CP-violating asymmetries in B0 -> pi+pi- decays based on 41.8 fb-1 data sample collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. From the asymmetry in the…

The CDF collaboration presents an updated measurement of the CP-violating parameter beta_s and of the decay width difference Delta Gamma_s using approximately 6500 Bs to J/Psi Phi decays collected by the dimuon trigger and reconstructed in…

Using two independent measurements of the semileptonic CP asymmetry in the $B_s$ system, we constrain the CP violating phase of the $B_s$ system to be $\phi_s = -0.70^{+0.47}_{-0.39}$. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity…

We review the status of the theory and phenomenology of heavy-quark symmetry, exclusive weak decays of $B$ mesons, inclusive decay rates and lifetimes of $b$ hadrons, and CP violation in $B$-meson decays.

We report a measurement of CP asymmetry parameters in the $b \to c\bar{c}d$-transition-induced decays $B^0(\bar{B^0}) \to J/\psi pi^0$. The analysis is based on a 140 fb$^{-1}$ data sample accumulated at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance by the…

We calculate the width difference of the scalar electron decay, $\Gamma(\tilde e_L \to e_L\omega) - \Gamma({\bar{\tilde e}}_L \to \bar e_L\omega)$ in the softly broken supersymmetrized standard model. The CP asymmetry is assumed to arise…

We report a measurement of the CP violation in B^0 -> J/\psi K^0_S decays. We perform a time-dependent analysis of the decays reconstructed in 35/pb of LHCb data that was taken in 2010. We measure the CP asymmetry parameter

We update the Standard-Model predictions for several quantities related to $B_s - \bar B_s$ and $B_d - \bar B_d$ mixing. The mass and width differences in the $B_s$ system read $ \Delta M_s^{\rm SM} = (17.3 \pm 2.6) ps^{-1}$ and $\Delta…

Sensitivity studies to the CP-violating parameters of the decay Bs->phi phi with the LHCb experiment are presented. The decay proceeds via a b->s s anti-s gluonic-penguin quark transition, which is sensitive to contributions from beyond the…
