LHCb is a dedicated b-physics experiment at the future LHC collider. Its construction has started and it will be ready to take data from the start of LHC operation, scheduled in 2007, and directly at its full physics potential. LHCb will…
In this talk I discuss two topics related to B decays. I will first discuss the Standard Model prediction for $B\to \eta' X_s$, and then discuss how to use experimental information from $B\to J/\psi K^*$ to test CP violation beyond the SM.
This is a quick review of CP non-conservation in $B$ physics. Several methods are described for testing the Kobayashi-Maskawa single phase origin of CP violation in B decays, pointing out some limitations due to hadronic uncertainties. A…
