In this proceeding, we report the recent measurements of time-dependent CP violation in B meson decays from the Belle Collaboration. The Belle experiment stopped operation in June 2010 and collected nearly 772 x 10^6 B B-bar pairs at the…

We present measurements of the time-dependent CP-violation parameters S and C in B^0 --> eta' K^0 decays. The data sample corresponds to 384 million B Bar pairs produced by e^+ e^- annihilation at the Y(4S). The results are S = 0.58 +- 0.10…

In this talk we show that, unlike other pure $b\to d$ penguin processes, the decay $\bs(t)\to\phi\ks$ is dominated by a single amplitude, that of the internal $t$-quark. Thus, the indirect CP asymmetry in this decay probes $\sin 2\beta$.…

We analyze the supersymmetric contributions to the direct and mixing CP asymmetries and also to the branching ratios of the B --> K \pi decays in a model independent way. We consider both gluino and chargino exchanges and emphasize that a…

We present measurements of time-dependent CP asymmetries in B0 --> phi(1020) K0, eta' K0, Ks Ks Ks, Ks pi0, f0(980) Ks, omega Ks and K+ K- Ks decays based on a sample of 386 x 10^6 BBbar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the…

We consider effects of CP violating phases in \mu and A_t parameters in the effective supersymmetric standard model on B\to X_s l^+ l^- and \epsilon_K. Scanning over the MSSM parameter space with experimental constraints including edm…

We present an {\it algebraic} isospin approach towards a more straightforward and model-independent determination of the weak phase $\alpha$ (or $\phi_2$) and QCD penguin pollution in $B\to \pi\pi$ decays. The world averages of current…

Recent CP asymmetry measurements in tree-dominated processes, $B^0\to \pi^+\pi^-, \rho^+\rho^-, \rho^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}, B^+\to DK^+$, and in penguin-dominated decays, $B \to \pi^0 K_S, \eta' K_S, \phi K_S$, are interpreted in the framework of…

Considering corrections from two-loop Feynman diagrams which involve gluino at large $\tan\beta$, we analyze the effects of possible CP phases on the rare B decays: $\bar{B}_{_{s}} \to l^+l^-$ and $\bar{B}\to Kl^+l^-$ in the CP violating…

We calculate direct CP-violating rate asymmetries in charged $B\to PP$ and $B\to VP$ decays arising from the interference of amplitudes with different strong and CKM phases. The perturbative strong phases develop at order $\alpha_s$ from…

Recently, the standard model prediction of $\epsilon'/\epsilon$ was improved, and a discrepancy from the experimental results was reported at the $2.9\sigma$ level. We study the chargino contributions to $Z$ penguin especially with the…

We apply the effective field theory formalism that was used to study CP violation induced by heavy new physics in the $\tau\to K_S \pi\nu_\tau$ decays to the other two-meson tau decay channels. We focus on the rate and the forward-backward…

We study CP asymmetries in penguin-induced b -> s\bar{s}s decays in general left-right models without imposing manifest or pseudomanifest left-right symmetry. Using the effective Hamiltonian approach, we evaluate CP asymmetries in B^\pm ->…

We analyze various theoretical aspects of CP violation in singly Cabibbo suppressed (SCS) D-meson decays, such as $D \to K K,\pi \pi$. In particular, we explore the possibility that CP asymmetries will be measured close to the present level…

We update the profile of the CKM matrix. The apex (rhobar,etabar) of the Unitarity Triangle is given by means of a global fit. We propose to include therein sin2alpha from the CP-violating asymmetries in B0->rho+rho-, using isospin to…

A major goal in B physics is measuring the CP-violating asymmetry in the decay $B^0 \rightarrow \pi^+ \pi^-$. In order to determine one of the phase angles in the CKM matrix from this decay it is necessary to determine the influence of the…

The B^0_s meson is a bound state of b and s type quarks. A CP violation parameter, \beta_s, of that system is the analogue of the parameter \beta measured precisely at the B factories in B^0 decays. The standard model predicts, robustly and…

We consider several hints for new physics involving CP-asymmetries in B-decays and interpret them in terms of generic contributions to effective Wilson coefficients. The effects we focus on are: the differences in the fitted value of sin(2…

Determination of the CP-violating parameters \sin 2\beta and \sin 2\beta' is shown to be possible from B^0_d vs \bar{B}^0_d \to D^{*+}D^{*-} and B^0_s vs \bar{B}^0_s \to D^{*+}_sD^{*-}_s decays {\it without} doing the angular analysis. The…
