We investigate the future determination of the CKM matrix using theoretically clean quantities, like $B(K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar\nu)$, $B(K_L\to\pi^0\nu\bar\nu)$ or $\sin 2\beta$, $\sin 2\alpha$ as extracted from CP violation studies in $B$…

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 $\sin 2\beta$.…

The values of $\sin (2 \alpha)$ and $\sin (2 \beta)$, where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are angles of the unitarity triangle, will be readily measured in a B factory (and maybe also in hadron colliders). We study the standard model constraints in…

We consider the possibility of measuring both $\sin (2 \beta)$ and $\cos (2 \beta)$ in the KM unitarity triangle using the process $B^0 \to D^{*+}D^{*-}K_s$. This decay mode has a higher branching fraction (O(1%)) than the mode $B^0 \to…

With the help of the light-quark triangle, which is essentially congruent to the rescaled unitarity triangle for a variety of textures of the quark mass matrices, we calculate the CP-violating quantity \sin 2\beta and the ratio of |V_{ub}|…

A sample of 400 $B^0_d/\bar{B}{^0_d} \to J/\psi K^0_s$ decays collected in $\bar{p}p$ collisions by the CDF detector is used to directly measure the CP-violation parameter $\sin(2\beta)$. We find $\sin(2\beta) = 0.79…

We study the decay B0->D*+D*-Ks using (230 +/- 2) x 10^{6} BBbar pairs collected by the Babar detector at the PEP-II B factory. We measure a branching fraction B(B0->D*+D*-Ks)=(4.4\pm0.4\pm0.7)\times 10^{-3} and find evidence for the decay…

We consider the branching ratio and the CP asymmetries in B to f_0(980)K_S decay to the end of determining the deviation of the time-dependent CP asymmetry from sin(2 beta) arising from Standard Model physics. We obtain Delta S_{f_0 K_S}…

We describe a new method for extracting weak, CP-violating phase information, with no hadronic uncertainties, from an angular analysis of B -> V_1 V_2 decays, where V_1 and V_2 are vector mesons. The quantity $\sin^2 (2\beta + \gamma)$ can…

We describe how the angular analysis of vector-vector final states in B decays provides theoretically clean techniques for determination of CP violating phases. The quantity $\sin^2 (2\beta + \gamma)$ can be cleanly obtained from the time…

We report improved measurements of $B$ to pseudoscalar-vector decays containing an $\omega$ meson in the final states. Our results are obtained from a data sample that contains $388\times 10^{6}$ $B\bar{B}$ pairs accumulated at the…

We present an analysis of the decays B0 -> K*0 gamma and B+ -> K*+ gamma using a sample of 383 million BBbar events collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP2 asymmetric energy B factory. We measure the branching fractions BF[B0 -> K*0…

We present a preliminary analysis of the decays B0 -> K*0 gamma and B+ -> K*+ gamma using a sample of 383 x 10^6 BBbar events collected with the BABAR dector at the PEP-II asymmetric energy B factory. We measure the branching fractions…

Determination of the characteristic CP-violating quantity \sin (2\beta) should be the central goal of a B-meson factory in its first-round experiments. Except the gold-plated channels B_d\to \psi K_S and \psi K_L, three other types of B_d…

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…

The small P wave compoment of $B\to J/\psi K^*$ measured by CLEO makes it practical to measure $\sin2\beta$ using $B^0\to J/\psi K^{*0}\to J/\psi K_S \pi^0$, independent from $B^0\to J/\psi K_S$. Because these modes are color suppressed,…

The branching fractions of the decays B->K*0,gamma and B->K*+,gamma are measured using a sample of 88 x 10^6 B\bar{B} events collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e^+e^- collider. We find B(B->K*0,gamma) = 3.92…

The constraints on the value of the CKM phase gamma that may be achieved by prospective measurements of sin(2 beta) and sin(2 beta + gamma) are discussed. Significant constraints require quite small errors, and may depend on assumptions…

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…

We propose a new method for precise determination of |V_{td} / V_{ub}| from the ratios of branching ratios BR(B -> \rho \nu \bar \nu ) / BR(B ->\rho l \nu ) and BR(B -> \pi \nu \bar \nu ) / BR(B -> \pi l \nu ). These ratios depend only on…
