The observation of CP violation in meson decays is a testament to the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) quark mixing paradigm, and an integral part of the Standard Model (SM). The SM also predicts the existence of CP violation in baryon…

We present the preliminary measurement of CP-violating asymmetries in B0->(rhopi)0->pi+pi-pi0 decays using a time-dependent Dalitz plot analysis. The results are obtained from a data sample of 213 million Y(4S)->BB-bar decays, collected by…

We present measurements of the branching fractions for the charmless two-body decays $\Bz\to\pip\pim$ and $\Bz\to\Kp\pim$, and a search for the decay $\Bz\to\Kp\Km$. We include the effects of final-state radiation from the daughter mesons…

We study B^+/- --> J/psi pi^+/- and B^+/- --> J/psi K^+/- decays in a sample of about 89 million BB~ pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B-factory at SLAC. We observe a signal of 244 +/- 20 B^+/- --> J/psi…

In light of the results from the B factories, which clearly show that the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa mechanism is the dominant source of the observed CP violation in K and B physics, only small deviations due to sources of CP violation…

Using isospin relations, we predict the Standard-Model correlation between S_{pi^0 K_S}=(sin 2beta)_{pi^0 K_S} and A_{pi^0 K_S}, the mixing-induced and direct CP asymmetries of B^0-> pi^0 K_S. The calculation uses flavour SU(3) only to fix…

The tree-level measurement of the CKM $\gamma$ angle is a crucial test of $CP$ violation in the Standard Model (SM). Discrepancies between direct measurements (tree-level decays) and indirect measurements (loop decays) could indicate…
