In 1988 the NA31 experiment presented the first evidence of direct CP violation in the $K^0\to\pi\pi$ decay amplitudes. A clear signal with a $7.2\,\sigma$ statistical significance was later established with the full data samples from the…
We give a pedagogical review of the theory of CP violation with emphasis on the implications of recent experimental results. The review includes: (i) A detailed description of how CP violation arises in the Standard Model and in its…
I present three studies from the LHCb experiment on the subject of direct CP violation in $B^0$ and $B_s$ decays. First, we measure the CP asymmetry in $B^\pm\to\psi K^\pm$ decays, with $\psi=J/\psi, \psi(2S)$, using 0.35 $fb^{-1}$ of $pp$…
We have compared the decay rates of K_L and K_S to \pi^+ \pi^- and \pi^0 \pi^0 final states using a subset of the data from the KTeV experiment (E832) at Fermilab. We find that the direct-CP-violation parameter Re(\epsilon'/\epsilon) is…
The subject of CP violation in B decays is reviewed in the Standard Model (SM) and beyond the SM. The present explanation of CP violation in terms of phases in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix can be tested through a variety of CP…
Currently there are New Physics hints in mixing-induced CP violation S(phi K0), S(pi0 K0) < S(J/psi K0), unequal direct CP violation A(K+ pi-) differs A(K+ pi0), and maybe even in measured S(J/psi K0) vs prediction from global fit to other…
The highlights and conflicts at the B Factories are briefly reviewed. $CP$ violation was established in 2001 in $B^0 \to J/\psi K_S$ and related modes, which has now become a precision measurement of CP violation in $B^0$-$\bar B^0$ mixing.…
With the time dependant CP asymmetry in $B_d(t) \to \psi K_S$ well measured, the most powerful method to search for {\em direct} CP violation in $B_d$ decays is to analyze whether the CP asymmetry of other transitions like $B_d(t) \to \pi…
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…
We present a novel method to search for a new CP-violating phase in b -> ss~ss~s transition using B -> phi phi Xs decays, where Xs represents a final state with a specific strange flavor such as K+/-, K*+/-, or K+/-pi-/+. Direct CP…
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…
Our knowledge of flavour dynamics has undergone a `quantum jump' since just before the turn of the millenium: direct \cp violation has been firmly {\em established} in $K_L \to \pi \pi$ decays in 1999; the first \cp asymmetry outside $K_L$…
We review the present status of the Standard Model of CP violation, which is based on a complex phase in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi- Maskawa (CKM) matrix. So far CP violation has been observed only in $K^0-\Kbar$ mixing, consistent with a…
A measurement of time-dependent CP violation in the decays of $B^0$ and $\overline{B}^0$ mesons to the final states $J/\psi(\to\mu^+\mu^-)K^0_S$, $\psi(2S)(\to\mu^+\mu^-)K^0_S$ and $J/\psi(\to e^+e^-)K^0_S$ with $K^0_S\to\pi^+\pi^-$ is…

The observation of CP violation effects is becoming more and more significant in a variety of channels, due to the impressive experimental effort of the last years. We review recent progress in Bs semileptonic decays and in Bs decays into…
We review the present status of CP violation in the standard model. Subsequently we make an excursion in the future in order to see what we could expect in this field in this and the next decade. We present various strategies for the…
If CP violation in the decays of neutral kaons is due to phases in the weak couplings of quarks, as encoded in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix, there are many other experimental consequences. Notable among these are CP-violating…
