Using data collected with the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, the hadronic decay Bs -> J/psi f0(980) is observed. This CP eigenstate mode could be used to measure mixing-induced CP violation in…
These lectures provide a basic overview of topics related to the study of CP Violation in B decays. In the first lecture, I review the basics of discrete symmetries in field theories, the quantum mechanics of neutral but flavor-non-trivial…

Heavy, as yet undiscovered particles, can affect measurements of CP violation in the B system. Measuring CP violation in the Bs system provides an excellent place to observe such effects since Standard Model sources are predicted to produce…
Using 58 million $J/\psi$ events taken with the BESII detector, a search for $eta_{c}$ CP violating decays into $\pi\pi$ and $\bar{K}K$ has been performed. No clear $eta_{c}$ is observed, and upper limits for $B(eta_{c}->\pi \pi)$and…
