A measurement of $CP$-violating observables associated with the interference of $B^0\to D^0 K^{*}(892)^0$ and $B^0\to \bar{D}^0 K^*(892)^0$ decay amplitudes is performed in the $D^0 \to K^{\mp}\pi^{\pm}(\pi^+\pi^-),$ $D^0 \to…

We consider the possibility of studying the CP properties of various B(s) decays at an electro-positron machine tuned to the Upsilon(5s). Since decay modes of the B(s) with definite CP are relatively rare, we suggest that the use of more…

We study the determination of gamma from CP-violating observables in B -> pi+ pi- and B -> psi K_S. This determination requires theoretical input to one combination of hadronic parameters. We show that a mild assumption about this quantity…

A measurement of $C\!P$-violating observables in $B^{\pm} \to D^{*} K^{\pm}$ and $B^{\pm} \to D^{*} \pi^{\pm}$ decays is made where the photon or neutral pion from the $D^{*} \to D\gamma$ or $D^{*} \to D\pi^{0}$ decay is not reconstructed.…

The B-meson system provides many strategies to perform stringent tests of the Standard-Model description of CP violation. In this brief review, we discuss implications of the currently available B-factory data on the angles alpha, beta and…

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…

Measurements of the CKM parameter $\sin(2 \beta)$ have established $CP$ violation in the $B^0$ meson system arising from the interference between mixing and decay. However, direct CP violation, arising from the interference among different…

We propose a new method to determine the mass and width differences of the two D meson mass-eigenstates as well as the CP violating parameters associated with D^0-\bar{D}^0 mixing. We show that an accurate measurement of all the mixing…

Indirect CP violation in the $D^0$ system can be probed by measuring the parameter $A_{\Gamma}$, defined as the CP asymmetry of the effective lifetime of the $D^0$ meson decaying to a CP eigenstate. This can be significantly enhanced beyond…

We describe several measurements using the decays D0->K+K- and pi+pi-. We find the ratio of partial widths, Gamma(D0->K+K-)/Gamma(D0->pi+pi-), to be 2.96+/-0.16+/-0.15, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. We…

The CKM angle $\gamma$ is determined from $C\!P$-violating observables measured in ${B^\pm \to D[ K^\mp \pi^\pm\pi^\pm\pi^\mp] h^\pm}$, $(h = K,\pi)$ decays, where the measurements are performed in bins of the decay phase-space of the $D$…

A combination of three LHCb measurements of the CKM angle gamma is presented. The decays B->DK and B->Dpi are used, where D denotes an admixture of D0 and D0-bar mesons, decaying into K+K-, pi+pi-, K+-pi-+, K+-pi-+pi+-pi-+, KSpi+pi-, or…
