We report measurements of the branching fraction and CP violation parameters in B0 -> D+D- decays. The results are based on a data sample that contains 535 x 10^6 BBbar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance, with the Belle detector…

Future asymmetric e+e- --> Upsilon(4S) B factories are being constructed to search for CP violation in B0 decays. It is hoped that a CP asymmetry may be observed in B0-B0bar mixing in analogy with that found in neutral kaons. In this mixing…

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…

The BABAR detector, which operates at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric e^+e^- collider at energies near the Y(4S) resonance, started operation on the 26th of May 1999. We present the first study of sin2beta, with samples of B0 --> J/psi K0S and…

The BABAR detector, which operates at the SLAC PEPII asymmetric e+e- collider at energies near the Y(4S) resonance has collected about 23M B-anti-B pairs in year 2000. Based on this data sample, we present the first study of sin(2b), with…

Neglecting smaller amplitudes the time-dependent CP asymmetry in penguin-dominated b -> s q \bar q transitions (such as B -> phi K_S) is expected to equal sin(2 beta), an expectation not borne out by the present average experimental data. I…

We consider three possible scenarios of new physics in B^0_d-\bar{B}^0_d mixing and propose a simple framework for analyzing their effects. This framework allows us to study the CP asymmetry in semileptonic B_d decays ({\cal A}_{SL}) and…

We perform model-independent statistical analyses of three scenarios accommodating New Physics (NP) in Delta F=2 flavour-changing neutral current amplitudes. In a scenario in which NP in B_d-B_d-bar and B_s-B_s-bar is uncorrelated, we find…

After a brief review of B_s^0 - \bar B_s^0 oscillations, we discuss the weak decays B_s^0 -> J/\psi\phi and B_s^0 -> J/\psi f_0(980) and the ratio R_{f_0/\phi} of their decay rates in the light of recent measurements by the LHCb, D0 and CDF…

Direct CP violation in B -> J/Psi K is a clean test for new physics. However, the direct CP asymmetry will vanish if the new-physics amplitude has the same strong phase as the standard-model amplitude. We show that this type of new physics…

In the present paper we review recent experimental results from the BaBar experiment concerning the measurement of the CKM angles. A particular highlight is given to the novel independent determination of the angle alpha from B0 ->…

We present a preliminary measurement of the time-dependent CP asymmetry for the neutral $B$-meson decay $B^0\to\phi K^0$. We use a sample of approximately 227 million $B$-meson pairs recorded at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the BaBar…

The measurement of CP asymmetries in charged B meson decays might provide the first demonstration of CP violation outside the K system. Among the usual three CP-odd phases $\alpha$, $\beta$ and $\gamma$, the phase $\gamma$ seems to be the…
