The decays B_{d,s}^0 --> K^{(*)} K-bar^{(*)} can be used to measure the angle alpha of the CKM unitarity triangle. The theoretical error from SU(3) breaking is expected to be small, so that the determination of alpha is clean. Moreover,…
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 report observations of the b --> d penguin-dominated decays B+ --> K0bar K+ and B0 --> K0 K0bar in approximately 350 million Upsilon(4S) --> BBbar decays collected with the BaBar detector. We measure the branching fractions B(B+ -->…
With the time dependant CP asymmetry in $B_d(t) \to \psi K_S$ well measured, the most powerful method to search for {\em direct} CP violation in $B_d$ decays is to analyze whether the CP asymmetry of other transitions like $B_d(t) \to \pi…
We propose a new way for determining the CP violation angle $\gamma$ without any hadronic uncertainty. The suggested method is to use the two triangles formed by the decay amplitudes of $B^\pm\to (D^0,\bar D^0,D_{CP}^0)…

We present measurements of time-dependent CP asymmetries in $B^0 \to \omega K_S^0$, $f_0 (980) K_S^0$, $K_S^0 \pi^0$ and $K^+ K^- K_S^0$ based on a sample of 535 $\times 10^6$ $B\bar{B}$ pairs collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with…
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…
A brief review of CP violation in the $B$-meson system and of strategies to determine the angles $\alpha$, $\beta$ and $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle of the CKM matrix is given. Both general aspects and some recent developments are…
We perform a systematic study of CP-violating observables in \ddbar\ decays. We show that given a final state, which may be a CP eigenstate or not, all the observables can in principle be measured if decay-time information is available and…
We review recent experimental results on direct CP violation. The hot topic is a measurement in charmless two-body decays of B0, B+. In connection to this the first analogous measurements in Bs0 and Lambda_b0 decays are now available.…
In this proceeding, results of searches for CP violation in charm decays using the full BABAR dataset are discussed. The parameter $A_{CP}$ in the decay $D^\pm\to\KS\pi^\pm$ is determined to be $(-0.39 \pm 0.13 \pm 0.10)%$. Meaurements of…
