We present the latest B physics results from the CDF experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. We focus on a number of analyses, including a measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry of B -> K^(*) mu mu decays, determination of the…

A sample of 400 $B^0_d/\bar{B}{^0_d} \to J/\psi K^0_s$ decays collected in $\bar{p}p$ collisions by the CDF detector is used to directly measure the CP-violation parameter $\sin(2\beta)$. We find $\sin(2\beta) = 0.79…

Recently, the CDF and D0 collaborations measured indirect CP violation in Bs -> J/psi phi and found a hint of a signal. If taken at face value, this can be interpreted as a nonzero phase of Bs-Bsbar mixing (beta_s), in disagreement with the…

Recently, the CDF collaboration has reported a measurement of the CP asymmetry in the $B\to\psi K_S$ decay: $a_{\psi K_S}=0.79^{+0.41}_{-0.44}$. We analyze the constraints that follow from this measurement on the size and the phase of…

We review recent B physics results from the CDF and Dzero experiments in p-pbar collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV. Using a data sample of 1.4-6.0 fb-1 collected by the CDF II detector we present searches for New Physics in Bs sector and some…

We report on a preliminary measurement of time-dependent CP-violating asymmetries in B0 --> J/psi K0S and B0 --> psi(2S) K0S decays recorded by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B Factory at SLAC. The data sample consisted of 9.0…

We present preliminary measurements of the CP asymmetry parameters and CP content in B0-->K+K-Ks decays, with phiKs events excluded. In a sample of 227M BB pairs collected by the BABAR detector at the PEPII B-Factory at SLAC, we find the CP…

We present updated measurements of time-dependent CP asymmetries in fully-reconstructed neutral B decays to several CP eigenstates containing a charmonium meson. The measurements use a data sample of (383 +/- 4) x 10^6 Y(4S)-> BBbar decays…

We present a preliminary measurement of the time-dependent CP-violating asymmetry in the neutral B decay B0 --> phi K0S, with phi --> K+K- and K0S --> pi+pi-. The measurement uses a data sample of about 87 million Y(4S) --> B Bbar decays…

We present a measurement of the time-dependent asymmetry in the rate for $\bar{B}{^0_d}$ versus $B^0_d$ decays to $J/\psi K^0_S$. In the context of the Standard Model this is interpreted as a measurement of the CP-violation parameter…

Since the first observation in 1964, CP violation remains one of the most elusive aspects of the standard model. The CDF collaboration has reported the first evidence of CP violation in the B system using the world's largest sample of $B…

The latest results for the measurement of the CP violating phase beta_s in B0s -> J/psi phi decays, from 5.2 fb-1 integrated luminosity of CDF data are presented. For the first time, this measurement includes the contribution of B0s ->…

Recent experimental observations of CP asymmetry in B0 -> psi K0 constitute the first significant signal of CP violation outside the neutral kaon system; thus they represent an important milestone to test the CKM paradigm. We, therefore,…

We present the first measurement of polarization and CP-violating asymmetries in $B_s^0$ decays into two light vector mesons, $B_s^0 \to \phi\phi$, and an improved determination of its branching ratio using 295 decays reconstructed in a…

An investigation of CP violation was performed using a total of 24 candidates for B^0 -> J/psi K^0_S decay, with a purity of about 60%. These events were selected from 4.4 million hadronic Z^0 decays recorded by the OPAL detector at LEP. An…

The status of CP violation and the CKM matrix is reviewed. Direct CP violation in B decay has been established and the measurement of sin(2beta) in \psi K modes reached 5% accuracy. I discuss the implications of these, and of the possible…
