In this paper we try to extract the CKM angle $\gamma$ from the new "mixed" system of $B^+ \to \pi^+ K^0$ and $B_d^0 \to \pi^0 K^0$ decays. We also made an update for the constraints on the angle $\gamma$ from the observables $R$ and $A_0$.…
In the near future, we will have the first significant experimental measurements of CP violation in B decays. These measurements will easily test crucial questions such as whether the Standard Model Kobayashi-Maskawa phase plays a dominant…
We study CP violating B decays in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with R-parity violation. We estimate how much R-parity violation modifies the SM predictions for CP asymmetries in B decays within the present bounds. The effects…

We give an overview of direct determinations of the angles of the unitarity triangle of the CKM matrix, using CP-violating effects in B-meson decays. After a discussion of B --> pi K modes, which can be described efficiently through allowed…
Phenomenological CP-violating parameters in decays of neutral B-mesons are discussed. Special attention is given to the degree of their measurability. We emphasize important role of the sign of $\Delta m_B$ and suggest how it could be…

We discuss a method for extracting CP phases from pairs of B decays which are related by flavor SU(3). One decay (B0 -> M1 M2) receives a significant bbar -> dbar penguin contribution. The second (B' -> M1' M2') has a significant bbar ->…
In this review we give an overview of CP-violation for K, B and B_s systems. Direct CP-violation and mixing induced CP-violation are discussed.
The decay $B^0_s\to\mu^+\mu^-$ is a key probe for the search of physics beyond the Standard Model. While the current measurements of the corresponding branching ratio agree with the Standard Model within the uncertainties, significant…
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…
We review several aspects of B-Physics. In particular we discuss: i) The theoretical framework for B-decays, ii) Weak decays beyond leading logarithms, iii) Standard analysis of the unitarity triangle, iv) Rare B-decays, v) CP violation…
Establishing CP violation in B0 (bar{B0}) --> l+ l- decays requires a measurement of polarization of the final lepton pair, or a precise determination of the B0 --> l+ l- and bar{B0} --> l+ l- rates. We first argue that if the amplitudes of…
We analyze CP violation in supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model with heavy scalar fermions of the first two generations. Neglecting intergenerational mixing in the sfemion mass matrices and thus considering only chargino, charged…
The necessary complex structures needed for CP violation are not easy to generate and, indeed, CP can be a symmetry in higher dimensional theories. In 4-dimensions CP violation argues for the existence of a scalar sector and, in its…
In this contribution a summary of the activities of Working Group 5 (WG5) presented during the 12th International Workshop on the CKM Unitarity Triangle (CKM2023) is reported. This includes new results on $\phi_{3}/\gamma$ measurements…
The $U$-spin symmetry provides a powerful tool to extract the angle $\gamma$ of the Unitarity Triangle and the $B_s^0$-$\bar{B}_s^0$ mixing phase $\phi_s$ from CP violation in the $B^0_s\to K^-K^+$, $B^0_d\to\pi^-\pi^+$ system. LHCb has…
