The standard CKM model can be tested and New Physics detected using only CP-violating phase measurements in B decays. This requires the measurement of a phase factor which is small in the Standard Model, in addition to the usual large…
the KM expectations of large CP asymmetries in $B$ decays are reviewed. I describe some observable signatures for the intervention of New Physics and list benchmarks defining the `ultimate' measurements in beauty physics. I also stress the…
We explore the possibility of using CP violation in B decays to detect the presence of physics beyond the Standard Model. We first study the possibility of new physics in the $B-\bar B$ mixing amplitude. We discuss a construction to extract…
Assuming that the Kobayashi-Maskawa mechanism gives the dominant contribution to CP violation at low energies, we propose a novel way of testing the flavour sector of the Standard Model which has the potencial for discovering New Physics.…
This is a pedagogical review of some selected topics of CP and T violation in the decays of K mesons. Diagonalization of the quark mass matrix and the emergence of the complex phase in both the standard and the left--right symmetric models…
After a brief look at CP violation in kaon decays, a short overview of CP violation in the $B$-meson system and of strategies to determine the angles of the unitarity triangles of the CKM matrix is given. Both general aspects and some…
The last three years have seen a phase transition in our knowledge about CP violation: (i) Direct CP violation has been established in $K_L \to \pi \pi$. (ii) The first CP violation outside $K_L$ decays has been observed in $B_d \to \psi…
This paper is intended to provide a brief overview of the quantum-entangled production of neutral meson-antimeson pairs, and to highlight the first discovery of a clean physical CP-violating phase in coherent neutral-$B$ decays as a smoking…
I review the status of CP violating phenomena and CPT tests in the neutral Kaon system. Comparisons of present data with the expectations of the Cabibbo Kobayashi Maskawa model are presented, with particular emphasis being focused on the…
New CP violating phases in the MSSM can affect both the abundance and detection of neutralino dark matter. We discuss the effect of including cosmological constraints in the limits on new sources of CP violation in the MSSM and the effects…
After summarizing the status concerning CP violation in 1998 I describe the exciting developments of the last two years and extrapolate to the future. I comment on recent lessons about T and CPT invariance maninly from CPLEAR and emphasize…
We discuss the discovery potential for New Physics of various measurements of CP violation. If nature is supersymmetric, then the flavor problem is even more mysterious than in the standard model. We show how we can learn about the…
It is expected that, within the next three years, the determination of the CKM matrix elements with the least theoretical uncertainty will arise from the measurements of CP violation in B_d --> J/\psi K_S decays and from Bs-Bsbar mixing. If…
We address the question of whether the CP violating phase in the CKM mixing matrix can be the only source of all CP violation. We show that in supersymmetric models with new flavour structure beyond the Yukawa matrices, the CKM phase can…
The focus of our considerations is the B-meson system, which will provide stringent tests of the Kobayashi-Maskawa mechanism of CP violation in this decade. After a classification of the main possible strategies to achieve this goal, we…
We explain the many reasons for the interest in flavor physics. We describe flavor physics and the related CP violation within the Standard Model, and explain how the B-factories proved that the Kobayashi-Maskawa mechanism dominates the CP…
The relation between CP-violation phase angle and the other three mixing angles in Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix is postulated. This relation has a very definite geometry meaning. The numerical result coincides surprisingly with that…
CP-violating asymmetries in charm provide a unique probe of physics beyond the Standard Model. I review several topics relevant to searches for CP-violation in charmed meson and baryon transitions.
We review various implications of recent experimental results concerning CP violation and mixing in $K\to\pi\pi$, $B\to\psi K_S$, $D\to K\pi$ and $D\to KK$ decays.
This overview of what we can hope to learn from high-statistics experiments in B physics in the next few years includes: (a) a review of parameters of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) Matrix; (b) direct determination of magnitudes of CKM…
