The first part of this talk reviews recent developments in flavor physics that can be made without detailed understanding of hadronic physics, driven by the data. The error of sin(2beta) has shrunk below 5%, and the measurements of alpha…

The $B_s$-meson system is a key element in the $B$-physics programme of hadron colliders, offering various avenues to explore CP violation and to search for new physics. One of the most prominent decays is $B_s\to J/\psi\phi$, the…
In this article we give an overview of CP-violation for both K^0 (\bar{K}^0 ), B^0 (\bar{B}^0), and B_s(\bar{B}_s) systems. Direct CP-violation and mixing induced CP-violation are discussed for K^0(\bar{K}^0), and B^0(\bar{B}^0) decays.
In these lectures I first cover radiative and semileptonic B decays, including the QCD corrections for the quark subprocesses. The exclusive modes and the evaluation of the hadronic matrix elements, i.e. the relevant hadronic form factors,…
In these lectures I discuss the impact of soft hadronic physics on predictions for B decays. Unfortunately our tools for calculating these effects are limited; even after the use of the best available tools the resulting theoretical…
Basic idea of $CP$ violation and its importance for cosmology, Standard Model and possible New Physics are introduced. Recent (2019) discovery of CP violation in charm in the $\Delta A_{CP}$ between $D^0\rightarrow K^-K^+$ and…
After pointing out the amazing success of the CKM description in accommodating the phenomenology of flavour changing neutral currents I review the status of theoretical technologies for extracting CKM parameters from data. I sketch novel…
Various developing topics in CP violation are reviewed. There are many theoretical reasons to hope that the CKM paradigm may be incomplete. It is surely too soon to be claiming new physics in \epsilon^\prime/\epsilon or in D^0-\bar D^0…
In this paper, we investigate the CP asymmetries ${\mathcal A}_{CP}^{pm}$ and ${\mathcal A}_{CP}^{mp}$ in $B_{c}^{\pm}\rightarrow B^{\pm} K^{0}+B^{\pm} {\bar{K}}^0\rightarrow B^{\pm} \pi^{\pm} e^{\mp} \nu_{e}$ and $B_{c}^{\pm}\rightarrow…
Phenomenological CP-violating parameters in decays of neutral B-mesons are discussed with special attention to the degree of their measurability. Important role of the sign of \Delta m_B is emphasized. We briefly describe how it could be…
CP violation in top physics is reviewed. The Standard Model has negligible effects, consequently CP violation searches involving the top quark may constitute the best way to look for physics beyond the Standard Model. Non-standard sources…
In this work we study the CP violation for $\bar{B^0}\to J/\psi K_s$ and $\bar{B^0}\to \phi K_s$ up to leading and next-to-leading order QCD corrections in the standard model, two-Higgs-doublet model and the minimal supersymmetric extension…
We study a long-overlooked CP violation observable, termed double-mixing CP violation, which arises from the interference between two neutral meson oscillating paths involved in a decay chain. The double-mixing CP violation is beneficial…
Recent progress in understanding the physics of B mesons and of CP violation, as presented to this Workshop, is put in historical perspective and summarized.
We consider CP violating effects in decays of the type $B\rightarrow k_i\gamma \rightarrow K\pi\gamma$, $K^*\pi\gamma$ and $K\rho\gamma$, where $k_i$ represents a strange meson resonance. We include in our calculations five of the low-lying…
In this paper, we intend to study the problem of CP violation in $D$ meson by $D\to VV$ decay mode in which the T violating triple-product correlation is examined. That would undoubtedly be another excellent probe of New Physics beyond…
The exploration of B-meson decays has reached an unprecedented level of sophistication, with a phase of even much higher precision ahead of us thanks to run 2 of the LHC and the future era of Belle II and the LHCb upgrade. For many…
CP violation can be observed in B decays when a given process depends upon interference between two weak amplitudes which have different $CP$-violating phases. Since most weak decay diagrams have quark lines where each has a definite flavor…
A brief overview is given on the status and prospects of searches for CP nonconservation effects in weak decays of strange, charmed, and beauty hadrons, on the search for permanent electric dipole moments of particles, and on present and…
