New CP violating physics in $b\to s$ transitions will modify the CP asymmetries in B decays into final CP eigenstates ($\phi K_S$, $\eta^\prime K_S$, $\pi^0 K_S$, $\omega K_S$, $\rho^0 K_S$ and $\eta K_S$) from their Standard Model values.…

This talk addresses two topics related to CP asymmetries in $D$ meson decays to two pseudoscalar mesons. First I discuss how new physics can be distinguished from the Standard Model through two sum rules relating three direct CP asymmetries…

Charmless 3-body decays of B mesons are studied in the framework of the factorization approach. The nonresonant contributions arising from $B\to P_1P_2$ transitions are evaluated using heavy meson chiral perturbation theory (HMChPT). The…

We present preliminary measurements of the CP asymmetry parameters in B^0 -> K^0_S K^0_S K^0_S decays, reconstructing two of the K^0_S into pi^+pi^- and one into pi^0pi^0. In a sample of 227M $B\bar B$ pairs collected by the BABAR detector…

The decay K_L -> pi0 e+ e- is being searched for as a signal of direct Delta S = 1 CP violation. We provide a thorough updating of the analysis of the three components of the decay: 1) Direct CP violation, 2) CP violation through the mass…

We present recent results from the BABAR collaboration of the time-dependent analysis of B0 meson decays to KsKsKs, the Dalitz-plot analysis of B0->K+K-Ks and the time-dependent CP asymmetry of partially reconstructed B0->D*+D*- decays.

The CP asymmetry in inclusive B->X_{s,d}+gamma decays is an important probe of new physics. The theoretical prediction was thought to be of a perturbative origin, and in the standard model, to be about 0.5 percent. In a recent work with M.…

Direct CP violation in charmless three-body hadronic decays of $B$ mesons is studied within the framework of a simple model based on the factorization approach. Three-body decays of heavy mesons receive both resonant and nonresonant…

We prove an approximate relation, to leading order in dominant terms, between CP-violating rate differences in $B^0/\bar{B}^0 \to K^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}$ and $B^{\pm} \to K^{\pm}\pi^0$. We show how data from these two processes may be combined in…

We report the first measurement of CP-violation parameters in B^0 -> K_S^0\rho^0\gamma decays based on 657 million B\bar B pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy collider. We measure the time-dependent CP…

Within the standard model (SM), the time dependent CP asymmetries in B -> psi K_S, B -> eta' K_S and B -> phi K_S are expected to give the same result i.e. sin (2 beta). However recent measurements of the mixing induced CP asymmetries in B…

The measurement of CP asymmetries in charged B meson decays might provide the first demonstration of CP violation outside the K system. Among the usual three CP-odd phases $\alpha$, $\beta$ and $\gamma$, the phase $\gamma$ seems to be the…

The decays $B \to PP$, where $P$ denotes a pseudoscalar meson, are analyzed, with emphasis on charmless final states. Numerous triangle relations for amplitudes hold within SU(3) symmetry, relating (for example) the decays $B^+ \to \pi^+…

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…

We present preliminary measurements of CP-violating asymmetries in B decays. These include new results on the CKM angle alpha based on studies of the decay B -> rho+ rho- and several charmonium and hadronic penguin modes, sensitive to the…

We compute the supersymmetric (SUSY) contributions to the observables in Bs-->K+K- and Bs-->K0 anti-K0 decays. The hadronic parameters in the standard-model (SM) amplitudes are obtained from the Bd-->K0 anti-K0 decay using a recent approach…

We report measurements of CP violation parameters in B0->Ks pi0 gamma transitions based on a data sample of 535x10^6 BB pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+ e- collider. One neutral B meson is fully…

Non-leptonic $B^0_s \rightarrow D_s^{\pm} K^{\mp}$ transitions are particularly interesting processes to test the Standard Model. As these decays occur via pure tree diagrams, they allow a theoretically clean determination of the angle…

This is a quick review of CP non-conservation in $B$ physics. Several methods are described for testing the Kobayashi-Maskawa single phase origin of CP violation in B decays, pointing out some limitations due to hadronic uncertainties. A…
