We report measurements of time-dependent CP asymmetries related to the CKM angle $\beta/\phi_1$, using decays of neutral B mesons to charmonium, open charm and in $b\to s$ loop processes. A preliminary measurement of time-dependent CP…
The BELLE detector has already accumulated e^+ e^- collision data at the KEKB-collider corresponding to 600 fb^-1. BaBar has accumulated data of approximately 390 fb^-1 at PEP-II. Both are running on asymmetric energy e^+ e^- colliders at…
We report the first measurement of CP-violation parameters in B^0 -> K_S^0\rho^0\gamma decays based on 657 million B\bar B pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy collider. We measure the time-dependent CP…
We report recent measurements of rare charmless B decays performed by BaBar. The results are based on the final BaBar dataset of 424 fb^{-1} collected at the PEP-II $B$-factory based at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
Motivated by the recent determination of the top quark mass by the CDF collaboration, $\mt =174 \pm 10 ^{+13}_{-12}$ GeV, we review and update the constraints on the parameters of the quark flavour mixing matrix $V_{CKM}$ in the standard…
We discuss precision tests of the standard model in radiative and semileptonic rare B-decays and CP-violating asymmetries, and possible signatures of supersymmetry in these processes. Motivated by current data, and with an eye on the…
We present a summary of measurements sensitive to the CKM angle \phi 2 (\alpha), performed by the BaBar and the Belle experiments which both collect B\bar{B} pairs produced at the \Upsilon(4S) resonance in asymmetric e+e- collisions. We…
Using events in which one of two neutral B mesons from the decay of an Y(4S) meson is fully reconstructed, we determine parameters governing decay (\Delta\Gamma_d/\Gamma_d), CP and T violation (|q/p|), and CP and CPT violation (Rez,Imz).…
We perform quantum-correlated measurements of the decay $D \to K^{0}_{\rm S}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\pi^{0}$ using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 0.82 fb$^{-1}$ collected at the $\psi(3770)$ resonance by the CLEO-c…
LHCb is the dedicated B physics experiment at the LHC and is due to start data taking later this year. Its goal is to search for new physics in very rare processes and make precision measurements of CP violation in B decays. The CKM angle…
Recently, it was proposed to use measurements of Bd(t) -> D(*)+ D(*)- and Bd -> Ds(*)+ D(*)- decays to measure the CP phase gamma. In this paper, we present the extraction of gamma using this method. We find that gamma is favored to lie in…
We measure the direct CP violation asymmetry, A_CP, in B to X_s gamma and the isospin difference of the asymmetry, Delta A_CP, using 429 fb^-1 of data collected at Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II…
We present a selection of recent results from studies of rare hadronic B decays based on a sample of 232 million BBbar pairs, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 211/fb, which were recorded with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II…
In the near future, we will have the first significant experimental measurements of CP violation in B decays. These measurements will easily test crucial questions such as whether the Standard Model Kobayashi-Maskawa phase plays a dominant…
In models of three or more scalar doublets, new CP violating phases appear in charged scalar exchange. These phases affect CP asymmetries in neutral $B$ decays, even if Natural Flavor Conservation holds. The recent upper bound on the decay…
Inspired by the unexpectedly large difference between the CP violation of $D$ decays into $K^+K^-$ and $\pi^+\pi^-$, we explore the impact on the extraction of $\gamma$ via the $B\to DK$ process with the $D$ meson reconstructed in the…
A measurement of $CP$-violating observables is performed using the decays $B^\pm\to D K^\pm$ and $B^\pm\to D \pi^\pm$, where the $D$ meson is reconstructed in one of the self-conjugate three-body final states $K_{\mathrm S}\pi^+\pi^-$ and…
We present a measurement of the time-dependent CP-violating asymmetries in neutral B decays to the $\pi^+\pi^-$ CP eigenstate, and an updated measurement of the charge asymmetry in $B^0\to K^+\pi^-$ decays. In a sample of 33 million…
We demonstrate that time-dependent studies of angular distributions for $B_s$ decays caused by $\bar b\to\bar cu\bar s$ quark-level transitions extract cleanly and model-independently the CKM angle $\gamma$. This CKM angle could be cleanly…
In this talk, I review the various measurements that have been made over the years of CP-violating observables in $B$ decays. These include indirect CP asymmetries, direct CP asymmetries, and triple products. All are discussed in the…
