Penguin contributions, being not negligible in general, can hide the information on the CKM angle alpha coming from the measurement of the time-dependent B0(t) -> pi+pi- CP-asymmetry. Nevertheless, we show that this information can be…

A doubly CKM-suppressed amplitude in $B^0\to J/\psi K_S$ leads to corrections in CP asymmetries $S = \sin 2\beta, C=0$, which may be enhanced by long-distance rescattering. It has been suggested that this enhancement may lead to several…

We explore the would-be consequences of a low value of the CP-violating phase $\sin2\beta_{\psi K}$. The importance of a reference triangle obtained from measurements that are independent of $B$--$\bar B$ and $K$--$\bar K$ mixing is…

The unitarity triangle can be determined by means of two measurements of its sides or angles. Assuming the same relative errors on the angles $(\alpha,\beta,\gamma)$ and the sides $(R_b,R_t)$, we find that the pairs $(\gamma,\beta)$ and…

The Belle experiment has used several methods to measure or constrain the angles phi_1, phi_2, and phi_3 (or beta, alpha, and gamma) of the CKM unitarity triangle. The results are sin(2phi_1) = 0.728 \pm 0.056 (stat) \pm 0.023 (syst) or…

The determination of the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle of the CKM matrix is a challenge for the $B$-factories. In this context, $B\to\pi K$ decays received a lot of attention, providing various interesting ways to constrain and…

Various developing topics in CP violation are reviewed. There are many theoretical reasons to hope that the CKM paradigm may be incomplete. It is surely too soon to be claiming new physics in \epsilon^\prime/\epsilon or in D^0-\bar D^0…

An assumption of isospin symmetry permits the determination of sin(2 alpha) from the experimental study of B\to pi pi decays. Isospin, however, is merely an approximate symmetry; its breaking predicates a theoretical systematical error…

Penguin effects in the CP asymmetries of $B^0_d\rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-$ , $\bd\rightarrow\rho^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}$ and $\bd\rightarrow a^{\pm}_1 \pi^{\mp}$ are studied as function of the CKM unitarity triangle $\alpha$. Despite a fairly small…

Using primarily experimental inputs for S(B -> psi Ks), Delta M_Bs, Delta M_Bd, BR(B -> tau nu) and epsilon_K along with necessary inputs from the lattice, we find that the measured value of sin(2 beta) is smaller than expectations of the…

I review results related to the CKM angle $\phi_1$($\beta$). These results include recent measurements of CP-violation from the BaBar and Belle experiments in $b\to c \bar{c} s$, $b\to c \bar{c} d$ and $b\to s q \bar{q}$ processes.

I suggest two new unitarity tests for the quark charged current coupling constants which are $(sin \gamma/sin \alpha) = \zeta$, and $(sin 2\gamma)/(sin 2\alpha) = - ((1-\zeta cos \beta))/(cos \beta-\zeta)$ where $\zeta$ is a CKM parameter…

CP violation is observed to date only in K^0 decays and is parameterizable by a single quantity epsilon. Because it is one of the least understood phenomena in the Standard Model and holds a clue to baryogenesis, it must be investigated…

It was recently pointed out that inclusive B^0(t) decays could show CP violation. The totally inclusive asymmetry is expected to be tiny [O(10^{-3})] because of large cancellations among the asymmetries in the charmless, single charm and…

We present the status of the Unitarity Triangle analysis focused on the analyses connected to the CKM angles extraction. The angle values are found to be $\alpha = (90.6\pm 6.6)^{\circ}$, $\sin(2\beta) = 0.68\pm 0.023$, and $\gamma=(72.2\pm…

Preliminary results from two recent CDF b physics analysis are presented. The first obtains sin(2beta) = 0.79 + 0.41 -0.44 from a measurement of the asymmetry in B0, B0bar to J/psi K_short decays, providing the best direct indication so far…

New measurements of the CP asymmetry in B->\psi K_S, a_{\psi K_S}, by the BABAR and BELLE collaborations are consistent with the Standard Model prediction for sin2\beta. These measurements, however, leave open the possibility that a_{\psi…

As we pointed out recently, the neutral decays $B_d\to\pi^\mp K^\pm$ and $B_d\to\pi^0K$ may provide non-trivial bounds on the CKM angle $\gamma$. In this paper, we reconsider this approach in the light of recent CLEO data, which look very…

We present constraints on the CKM parameter gamma=arg(Vub*) formed within the framework of SU(3) symmetry and based on charmless hadronic B decays to K*+- pi-+ and other pseudoscalar-vector final states. For strong phases of O(10 degrees),…

After a brief review of the present status of the standard methods to extract CKM phases from CP-violating effects in non-leptonic B-decays, an overview of recent theoretical developments in this field is given, including extractions of…
