Pointing out the profound and unique nature of CP violation, I sketch its basic phenomenology, its CKM prescription and QCD technologies relevant for heavy flavour physics. After emphasizing the paradigmatic character of the establishment…
I review several topics involving CP violation with heavy hadrons. In particular, I discuss (i) Hyperons: CP violation in the decay $\Lambda^0 \to p \pi^-$, (ii) Charm: indirect CP violation in the D^0 system, both within and beyond the SM,…
CP violation offers powerful probes to explore the quark-flavour sector, where decays of B mesons have been key players since decades. I discuss a variety of probes ranging from non-leptonic to rare B decays, offering exciting opportunities…
Three different methods, using $B_d\to J/\psi K_S$, $J/\psi K_S \pi^0$, $B_d\to K^-\pi^+, \pi^+\pi^-$ and $B_u\to K^- \pi^0, \bar K^0 \pi^-, \pi^-\pi^0$, to extract hadronic model independent information about new physics are discussed in…
We study four different models for CP violation: the standard (KM) model, the aspon model of spontaneous breaking and two models of soft breaking. In all except the standard model, the strong CP problem is addressed and solved. Testable…
Experimental prospects for observing CP violation in B-meson decays are reviewed. Comparisons are made for various options: experiments at $e^+ e^-$ B-Meson Factories, HERA and the TEVATRON will produce results in near future. They will…
This series of five lectures describes aspects of CP violation, emphasizing its description within the standard electroweak model. After discussing the kaon system, the only place in which CP violation has been seen so far, we turn to the…
We study the CP violation in two-body nonleptonic decays of $B_c$ meson. We concentrate on the decay channels which contain at least one excited heavy meson in the final states. Specifically, the following channels are considered: $B_c\to…
We make a systematic analysis of the effects of new physics in the B decay amplitudes on the CP asymmetries in neutral B decays. Although these are expected to be smaller than new physics effects on the mixing amplitude, they are easier to…
These lectures provide an introduction to various topics in heavy-flavor physics. We review the theory and phenomenology of heavy-quark symmetry, exclusive weak decays of $B$ mesons, inclusive decay rates, and some rare $B$ decays.
I briefly review some results and open questions in the analysis of CP violation in the B sector.
We review the subject of CP violation in the $B$ meson system within the Standard Model of CP violation, which is based on a complex phase in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix. Three kinds of CP nonconservation are studied: In…
This report provides a comprehensive overview of the prospects for B physics at the Tevatron. The work was carried out during a series of workshops starting in September 1999. There were four working groups: 1) CP Violation, 2) Rare and…
Generically, non-Standard-Model particles contribute to processes with order-one charge-parity (CP) violating phases, as CP is not a fundamental symmetry of nature. The exploration of CP violation becomes therefore a sensitive search for…
Considering that the existing experimental limit for $CPT$ violation is still poor, we explore various possible ways to test $CPT$ symmetry in $CP$-violating $B$ decays at $e^{+}e^{-}$ $B$ factories and hadron machines. We find that it is…
Some experimental tests are suggested for possible CP-violations for decays of $B^\pm$ bosons. Especially, a detailed comparison of decays $B^+ \rightarrow D^0 \pi^+ \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $B^- \rightarrow \overline{D^0} \pi^- \pi^- \pi^+$ will…

An overview of the phenomenology of CP violation is presented. The Standard Model mechanism of CP violation and its main experimental tests, both in the kaon and bottom systems, are discussed. (Lectures given at the 1993 Trieste Summer…
