This review of CP violation focuses on the status of the subject and its likely future development through experiments in the Kaon system and with B-decays. Although present observations of CP violation are perfectly consistent with the CKM…
We review recent suggestions for testing through B decays the flavor structure of CP violation in the Standard Model. Relative signs of CP asymmetries in U-spin related processes can by themselves test the Kobayashi-Maskawa mechanism in a…
Using a sample of 232 million Upsilon(4S) --> B Bbar events collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II B Factory in 1999-2004, we study B- --> D0 K*(892)- decays where K*- --> KS pi- and D0 --> K-pi+, K-pi+pi0, K-pi+pi+pi- (non-CP…
If the weak phase of B_s-anti B_s mixing (2 beta_s) is found to be significantly different from zero, this is a clear signal of new physics (NP). However, if such a signal is found, we would like an unambiguous determination of 2 beta_s in…

A generic formalism is presented for the time-dependent or time-integrated decays of any coherent $P^{0}\bar{P}^{0}$ system ($P^{0} = K^{0}, D^{0}, B^{0}_{d}$, or $B^{0}_{s}$). To meet various possible measurements at asymmetric $B$…
We report a study of B -> D*K decays with D* decaying to D pi0 or D gamma, using 383 * 10**6 B Bbar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BaBar detector at the SLAC PEP-II B-Factory. The D meson decays under study include a…

Differential rates in the decay B^0_s --> Jpsi phi, with phi --> K^+K^- and Jpsi --> mu^+ mu^- are sensitive to the CP-violation phase beta_s, predicted to be very small in the standard model. The analysis of B^0_s --> Jpsi phi decays is…
We present a measurement of the time-dependent asymmetry in the rate for $\bar{B}{^0_d}$ versus $B^0_d$ decays to $J/\psi K^0_S$. In the context of the Standard Model this is interpreted as a measurement of the CP-violation parameter…

$B$ flavor tagging will be extensively studied at the asymmetric $B$ factories due to its importance in CP asymmetry measurements. The primary tagging modes are the semileptonic decays of the $b$ (lepton tag), or the hadronic $b \to c (\to…
It is well known that $\sin(2\beta)$, where $\beta$ is one of the angles of the unitarity triangle of the CKM matrix, can be determined in a theoretically clean way by measuring mixing-induced CP violation in the decay $B_d \to J/\psi K_S$.…
