This is a written version of a series of lectures aimed at graduate students in the field of (theoretical and experimental) high energy physics. The main topics covered are: (i) The flavor sector of the Standard Model and the…

In this work we study the CP violation for $\bar{B^0}\to J/\psi K_s$ and $\bar{B^0}\to \phi K_s$ up to leading and next-to-leading order QCD corrections in the standard model, two-Higgs-doublet model and the minimal supersymmetric extension…

Inspired by the unexpectedly large difference between the CP violation of $D$ decays into $K^+K^-$ and $\pi^+\pi^-$, we explore the impact on the extraction of $\gamma$ via the $B\to DK$ process with the $D$ meson reconstructed in the…

Experimental prospects for observing CP violation in B-meson decays are reviewed. Comparisons are made for various options: experiments at $e^+ e^-$ B-Meson Factories, HERA and the TEVATRON will produce results in near future. They will…

The phenomenon of CP violation in the B system and strategies for extracting CKM phases are reviewed. We focus both on general aspects and on some recent developments including CP-violating asymmetries in B_d decays, the B_s system in light…

We investigate allowed regions in observable space of B --> pi K, B_d --> pi^+pi^- and B_s --> K^+K^- decays, characterizing these modes in the Standard Model. After a discussion of a new kind of contour plots for the $B\to\pi K$ system, we…

Measurements of CP asymmetries in hadron decays integrated over time provide access to direct CP violation, which arises from differences between the amplitudes of CP-conjugate decay processes. These proceedings present an overview of…

While the Kobayashi--Maskawa model of CP violation passed its first crucial precision test in $B\to J/\psi K_S$, other CP asymmetries in $B$ and $B_s$ decays will have to be measured in order to critically test and overconstrain the model…

The focus of our considerations is the B-meson system, which will provide stringent tests of the Kobayashi-Maskawa mechanism of CP violation in this decade. After a classification of the main possible strategies to achieve this goal, we…

Some experimental tests are suggested for possible CP-violations for decays of $B^\pm$ bosons. Especially, a detailed comparison of decays $B^+ \rightarrow D^0 \pi^+ \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $B^- \rightarrow \overline{D^0} \pi^- \pi^- \pi^+$ will…

CP violating phenomena and rare decays of $B_s$ mesons offer interesting probes to test the quark-flavor sector of the Standard Model. In view of plenty of data reported in particular from the Large Hadron Collider, this topic has received…

This series of five lectures describes aspects of CP violation, emphasizing its description within the standard electroweak model. After discussing the kaon system, the only place in which CP violation has been seen so far, we turn to the…

We discuss an improved theoretical description of the semi-inclusive B meson decays $B\to K(K^*)X$. The decay distributions are calculated. Their branching ratios are found to be appreciable. The CP asymmetries in the neutral B modes…

We discuss a potential discrepancy in an approximate relation among $B \to K \pi$ rates which, with increased statistical significance, would imply new physics in $\Delta I=1$ transitions. An approximate relation between CP-violating rate…

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…

Results by the BaBar and Belle experiments of the measurements $\sin 2\alpha$, $\sin 2\beta$ and $\sin (2\beta + \gamma)$ along with the CKM matrix elements $V_{cb}$ and $V_{ub}$ are presented. The BaBar and Belle experiments $b \to…

Within the standard model we carry out an analysis of $CP$-violating observables in neutral $B$-meson decays at the $\Upsilon (4S)$ resonance. Both time-dependent and time-integrated $CP$ asymmetries are calculated, without special…

Measurements of $CP$-violating observables in $B$ meson decays can be used to determine the angles of the Unitarity Triangle and hence probe for manifestations of New Physics beyond the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa Standard Model paradigm. Of…

We report a measurement of the CP violation parameters in b->c anti-c d decays. Mixing-induced CP violation involving this transition is studied using a sample of B0->J/psi pi0, D*+D*- and D*+-D-+ decays with a data set accumulated at the…

We analyze various theoretical aspects of CP violation in singly Cabibbo suppressed (SCS) D-meson decays, such as $D \to K K,\pi \pi$. In particular, we explore the possibility that CP asymmetries will be measured close to the present level…
