We present new measurements of CP-violation parameters in B0->phi/Ks, K+K-Ks, f0(980)Ks, eta'Ks, omega/Ks, Pi0/Ks, and K*0(KsPi0)/gamma decays based on a sample of 275x10^6 BBbar pairs collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the Belle…
In this decade, the exploration of CP violation is governed by the B-meson system, where non-leptonic decays play an outstanding role. To set the stage, we have first a look at the main strategies to circumvent the calculation of the…
The measurement of the mixing-induced CP-violating phase $\phi_s$ in the $B^0_s - \bar{B}^0_s$ system is one of the key goals of the LHCb experiment, and provides an excellent opportunity to search for New Physics beyond Standard Model.…
The main motivation for B factories is the investigation of CP violation. We consider two questions: 1) Why has there been essentially no experimental progress in CP violation in the 28 years since its discovery in 1964? 2) Why do we expect…
CP violation in $B\to J/\psi K^*$ decays is studied using an angular analysis in a data sample of 253 fb$^{-1}$ recorded with the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ collider. The flavor separated measurements of the decay amplitudes…
Four topics in theory of CP violation are reviewed. (a) CP violation in $B$ decays: We describe a new clean way of constraining the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle and how new CP violation in decay amplitudes can signal new…
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…
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…
One of the greatest challenges for particle physics in the 1990's is understanding the broken symmetry of CP violation. It is now almost 30 years since the discovery in 1964 of the $K_{L} \rightarrow 2\pi$ decay. What has happened since?…
A measurement of the decay time dependent CP-violating asymmetry in $B_s^0 \to \phi\phi$ decays is presented, along with measurements of the $T$-odd triple-product asymmetries. In this decay channel, the CP-violating weak phase arises from…
The observation of CP violation has been experimentally verified in numerous $B$ decays but is yet to be confirmed in final states with half-spin particles. We focus our attention on baryonic $B$-meson decays mediated dominantly through…
This Letter reports a measurement of the CP violation observables S_J/{\psi}KS0 and C_J/{\psi}KS0 in the decay channel B0 -> J/{\psi} KS0 performed with 1.0/fb of pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV collected by the LHCb experiment. The fit to…
The $B \to \pi K$ system provides a rich laboratory for testing the Standard Model and studying CP violation. A particularly important channel is $B^0_d\to\pi^0 K_{\rm S}$, the only mode exhibiting both direct and mixing-induced CP…
We show that the decay Bs -> J/psi f0(980), f0(980)->pi+ pi- can be used to measure the CP violating phase in Bs mixing, -2\beta_s, and estimate the sensitivity as +/- 0.050 rad, for 2/fb of LHCb data. After adding in the related Bs ->…
CP violation in K and B decays is reviewed in the Standard Model (SM) and beyond the SM. In K decays, one is seeking first evidence for CP violation in direct $K\to \pi\pi$ decays. This would not give a precise quantitative test for the…
In the perturbative QCD (PQCD) approach we study the direct $CP$ violation in $B^+_{c}\rightarrow D_{(s)}^+\rho^0(\omega) \rightarrow D_{(s)}^+\pi^+\pi^-$ via the $\rho-\omega$ mixing mechanism. We find that the $CP$ violation can be…
We present improved measurements of CP-violation parameters in the decays $B^0 \to \pi^+ \pi^-$, $B^0 \to K^+ \pi^-$, and $B^0 \to \pi^0 \pi^0$, and of the branching fractions for $B^0 \to \pi^0 \pi^0$ and $B^0 \to K^0 \pi^0$. The results…
We present an updated measurement of time-dependent CP-violating asymmetries in neutral B decays with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B Factory at SLAC. This result uses an additional sample of Upsilon(4S) decays collected in…
The two kinds of indirect CP violation in neutral meson systems are related, in the absence of new weak phases in decay. The result is a model-independent expression relating CP violation in mixing, CP violation in the interference of…
A review of CP violation in the $B$ system and strategies to determine the unitarity triangle of the CKM matrix is given. We begin with an introduction to the description of CP violation in the Standard Model of electroweak interactions,…
