These lectures cover different aspects of the subject of CP-Violation, from its description inside the Standard Model to the phenomenological analysis of the $K^0 - \bar{K}^0$ system and the prospects for its manifestation in B-physics.
These lectures are intended to provide an introduction to heavy meson decays and CP violation. The first lecture contains a brief review of the standard model and how the CKM matrix and CP violation arise, mixing and CP violation in neutral…
In this lecture, I will review results on the study of direct CP violation- where the violation occurs in a particle decay rather than in particle-anti particle mixing. Brief comments on rare decays, particularly those with a CP reach, will…
In these lectures I review what has been learned from studies of b-quark decays, including semileptonic decays ($V_{ub}$ and $V_{cb}$), $B^o-\overline{B}^o$ mixing and rare B decays. Then a discussion on CP violation follows, which leads to…
The B-meson system provides many strategies to perform stringent tests of the Standard-Model description of CP violation. In this brief review, we discuss implications of the currently available B-factory data on the angles alpha, beta and…
Although CP violation is predicted to be small in the Standard Model, there exists a continuing theoretical interest within the charm sector due to enhancements of CPV through new physics processes. We present an overview of the…
Recent topics regarding CP violation in heavy meson systems are discussed. As an introduction, the status of the Unitarity Triangle fit and CP violation in B meson mixing are briefly reviewed. Two topics are covered in more detail: Penguin…
In the standard model, we study CP violating rate asymmetries in the decay b->d l^+ l^- when one of the leptons is polarised. We find an asymmetry of (5 -- 15)% in the polarised decay spectrum which is comparable to known results for the…
Recent measurements of the time-dependent CP asymmetry of the B -> phi K_S decay give results whose central values differ from standard model expectations. It is shown how such data can be used to identify new physics contributions in a…
We investigate the possible sizes of all the CP-violating asymmetries offered by the angular distribution of rare decay $\Lambda_b\rightarrow \Lambda(\to p \pi^-) \ell^+\ell^-$ in the Standard Model and new physics scenarios motivated by…
A short summary is given of the current status of B physics. Reasons for physics beyond the Standard Model are discussed. Constraints on New Physics are given using measurements of B mixing, Bs mixing, and CP violation, along with |Vub.…
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…
The role of B decays in the study of CP violation is reviewed. We treat the interactions and spectroscopy of the $b$ quark and then introduce CP violation in $B$ meson decays, including time-dependences, decays to CP eigenstates and…
In this talk I discuss two topics related to B decays. I will first discuss the Standard Model prediction for $B\to \eta' X_s$, and then discuss how to use experimental information from $B\to J/\psi K^*$ to test CP violation beyond the SM.
I review the many ways of obtaining information about the CKM matrix through CP violation in the $B$ system. I include direct and indirect CP violation, the role of penguins and isospin analysis, tagging, and $B\to DK$ decays. I also…
The rare decay B -> K* (-> K pi) mu+ mu- is regarded as one of the crucial channels for B physics as the polarization of the K* allows a precise angular reconstruction resulting in many observables that offer new important tests of the…
Planned as a review of CPV in B-mesons which covered recent B-factories results these lectures appeared to be a bit wider. It is not natural to be limited by direct CPV and that in mixing in B-mesons and not to speak about the analogous…
Standard Model (SM) CP asymmetries in $B \to K \ell^+ \ell^-$ are expected to be very small. This feature could help in the understanding of new physics scenarios which predict the existence of CP odd phases in various Wilson coefficients.…
Currently there are New Physics hints in mixing-induced CP violation S(phi K0), S(pi0 K0) < S(J/psi K0), unequal direct CP violation A(K+ pi-) differs A(K+ pi0), and maybe even in measured S(J/psi K0) vs prediction from global fit to other…
In the standard model, direct CP-violating asymmetries for $B^\pm \to \pi^\pm K$ are roughly 2% based on perturbative calculation. Rescattering effects might enhance it to at most (20-25)%. We show that lepton-number-violating couplings in…
