Time-dependent CP asymmetries in $B^0$ decays from interference of $B^0$-$\bar B^0$ mixing and $b\to c\bar cs, u\bar ud, sq\bar q$, and direct asymmetries from interference of $b\to c\bar us$ and $b\to u\bar cs$ are studied, improving…

We report measurements of time-dependent decay rates for $B^0 \to D^{*\mp} \pi^\pm$ decays and extraction of CP violation parameters related to $\phi_3$. We use a partial reconstruction technique, whereby signal events are identified using…

The evidence of a large CP phase has been shown by CDF and D{\O} collaborations in the time-dependent CP asymmetry (CPA) of $B_s\to J/\Psi \phi$ decay, where the nonvanished CPA clearly implies the existence of a non-Kobayashi-Maskawa phase…

Recent highlights in CP violation phenomena are reviewed. B-factory results imply that CP-violation phase in the CKM matrix is the dominant contributor to the observed CP violation in K and B-physics. Deviations from the predictions of the…

Strategies for extracting CKM phases from non-leptonic $B$ decays are reviewed briefly. Both general aspects and some recent developments including CP-violating asymmetries, the $B_s$ system in light of a possible width difference…

The study of charmless two-body decays of B mesons is currently one of the hottest topics in B physics. QCD factorization provides the theoretical framework for a systematic analysis of such decays. A global fit to B->pi K,pi pi branching…

The study of CP violation in $B$-meson decays has already reached a high level of precision, which will be pushed even higher in the future era of Belle-II and the LHCb upgrade. %Important probes of CP violation are the $B_d^0$ and $B_s^0$…

Measurements of the time-dependent CP asymmetry in the decay $B^0_d (t) \to \pi^+ \pi^-$ and its charge conjugate by the BELLE and BABAR collaborations currently yield $C_{\pi \pi}^{+-} = -0.46 \pm 0.13$ and $S_{\pi \pi}^{+-} = -0.74 \pm…

We report a measurement of the time-dependent CP-asymmetry parameters $\cal S$ and $\cal C$ in color-suppressed $B^0 \to D^{(*)0} h^0$ decays, where $h^0$ is a $\pi^0$, $\eta$, or $\omega$ meson, and the $D^0$ decays to one of the CP…

We present a measurement of time-dependent CP asymmetries and an updated determination of the CP-odd fraction in the decay B0 --> D*+D*- using a data sample of 88 x 10^6 BBbar pairs collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II B Factory at…

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…

In this talk I report recent results on hadronic B decays obtained with the QCD factorization approach. In the first part I update the fit of the Wolfenstein parameters (\bar\rho,\bar\eta) to CP-averaged B -> pi pi, pi K branching…

We show that, besides the usual short distance contribution for CP violation, final state interactions together with CPT invariance can play an important role in the recent observation of CP violation in three-body charmless $B^\pm$ decays.…

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 present a preliminary measurement of the time-dependent CP-violating asymmetry in the neutral B decay B0 --> phi K0S, with phi --> K+K- and K0S --> pi+pi-. The measurement uses a data sample of about 87 million Y(4S) --> B Bbar decays…

We present measurements of time-dependent CP asymmetries in $B^0 \to \omega K_S^0$, $f_0 (980) K_S^0$, $K_S^0 \pi^0$ and $K^+ K^- K_S^0$ based on a sample of 535 $\times 10^6$ $B\bar{B}$ pairs collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with…

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…

I briefly review CP violation in the B system, concentrating on B -> pi K decays. I discuss how to deal with electroweak-penguin contributions to these decays using flavour SU(3). With these, I show that the entire unitarity triangle can be…
