In this decade, there are huge efforts to explore B-meson decays, which provide an interesting playground for stringent tests of the Standard-Model description of the quark-flavour sector and the CP violation residing there. Thanks to the…
It was recently pointed out that inclusive B^0(t) decays could show CP violation. The totally inclusive asymmetry is expected to be tiny [O(10^{-3})] because of large cancellations among the asymmetries in the charmless, single charm and…

While the Kobayashi--Maskawa model of CP violation passed its first crucial precision test in $B\to J/\psi K_S$, other CP asymmetries in $B$ and $B_s$ decays will have to be measured in order to critically test and overconstrain the model…

Decays of b-hadrons are the ideal place to perform measurements of CP violation. Many decay channels allow to over-constrain the unitarity triangles of the CKM matrix and test the SM hypothesis that a single phase is the origin of all CP…
