I propose an alternative method for measuring the $CP$ violating phase $\phi_2$ ($\alpha$) without ambiguity in an extended SU(3) flavour symmetry analysis, which can ultimately be achieved by exploiting interference effects between $B \to…

We present an {\it algebraic} isospin approach towards a more straightforward and model-independent determination of the weak phase $\alpha$ (or $\phi_2$) and QCD penguin pollution in $B\to \pi\pi$ decays. The world averages of current…

Isospin and flavor SU(3) set stringent bounds on penguin pollution in $B^0(t)\to \rho^+\rho^-$, providing a theoretically precise determination of $\alpha\equiv \phi_2 $, $\alpha = (91\pm 7_{\rm exp}\pm 3_{\rm th})^\circ$. Isospin breaking…

The study of CP violation in \Bs\, oscillations is a key measurement at the LHCb experiment. In this document, we discuss the latest LHCb results on the CP-violating phase, called $\phi_s$, using \BsJKK\, and \BsJpipi\, channels. To…

Time-dependent CP violation is measured in the $B^0\rightarrow J/\psi\pi^+\pi^-$ channel for each $\pi^+\pi^-$ resonant final state using data collected with an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$ in $pp$ collisions using the LHCb…

The effect of the penguin amplitude on extracting $\alpha$ from CP asymmetries in $B^0\to \rho^+\rho^-$ decays is studied using information on the SU(3)-related penguin amplitude in $B^+\to K^{*0}\rho^+$. Conservative bounds on…

Experimentally, the phases $\phi_d$ and $\phi_s$ are determined from CP asymmetry measurements in the "golden modes" $B_d^0\to J/\psi K_{\mathrm{S}}^0$ and $B_s^0\to J/\psi\phi$. At leading order, the theoretical interpretation of these…

The role of penguin amplitudes in CP violating $B$ decays is reviewed, emphasizing recent progress in the analysis of electroweak penguin contributions. It is shown how these terms are included in a model-independent manner when measuring…

A rescaling of the SU(2) isospin triangles constraining $\phi_2$ ($\alpha$) that relies on measurements of the experimentally cleaner relative branching fractions, as opposed to those absolute, is proposed. Paving the way towards more…

A first flavour-tagged measurement of the time-dependent CP-violating asymmetry in $B_s^0 \to \phi\phi$ decays is presented. In this decay channel, the CP-violating weak phase arises due to CP violation in the interference between…

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…

Time-dependent CP asymmetry measurements in $D\to h^+h^-$ decays, where $h=\pi$ or $\rho$ can be used to constrain the angle $\beta_c$ of the $cu$ unitarity triangle up to theoretical uncertainties. Here we discuss the theoretical…

The complex phases $\phi_d$ and $\phi_s$, associated with the mixing between neutral $B_q^0$ and $\bar B_q^0$ mesons ($q\in\{d,s\}$), are key observables to test the Standard Model and search for contributions from new physics. They are…

A flavor-tagged time-dependent angular analysis of the decay $B_s^{0}\rightarrow\phi\phi$ is performed using $pp$ collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV, the center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an…

Defining a most economical parametrization of time-dependent B-> rho^\pm pi^\mp decays, including a measurable phase alpha_{eff} which equals the weak phase alpha in the limit of vanishing penguin amplitudes, we propose two ways for…

The decay $B^0_d \to D^+ D^-$ offers an interesting probe of CP violation, but requires control of penguin effects, which can be done through $B^0_s \to D^+_s D^-_s$ by means of the $U$-spin flavour symmetry of strong interactions.…

The penguin loop-suppressed $B\to\phi K$ decays are highly sensitive to contributions of hypothetical heavy new particles. Particularly interesting probes for testing the Standard Model and revealing such phenomena are provided by CP…

The mixing-induced CP asymmetries in $B_d \to J/\psi K_S$ and $B_s \to J/\psi \phi$ are essential to detect or constrain new physics in the $B_d\! - \overline{\!B}{}_d$ and $B_s\! - \overline{\!B}{}_s$ mixing amplitudes, respectively. To…

The B_s^0 -> J/psi K_S decay has recently been observed by the CDF collaboration and will be of interest for the LHCb experiment. This channel will offer a new tool to extract the angle gamma of the unitarity triangle and to control doubly…

The pursuit of experimental precision in the $CP$-violating weak phase $\phi_2$ ($\alpha$) is not without its challenges, in part due to the need to combine multiple physical observables from various related decay channels, and therein lies…
