This paper is intended to provide a brief overview of the quantum-entangled production of neutral meson-antimeson pairs, and to highlight the first discovery of a clean physical CP-violating phase in coherent neutral-$B$ decays as a smoking…
After the present establishment of CP-Violation in $B_{d}$-physics, consistency tests of unitarity in the Standard Model and the search of new phenomena are compulsory. I illustrate the way to look for T-violation, without contamination of…
Several pieces of direct and indirect evidence now suggest that the Kobayashi-Maskawa mechanism plays a distinguished role for CP violation at the electroweak scale. This talk provides a general overview of CP violation in its various…
The starting point of these lectures is an introduction to the weak interactions of quarks and the Standard-Model description of CP violation, where the central role is played by the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix and the corresponding…
We review basic aspects of the phenomenology of CP violation in the decays of $K$ and $B$ mesons. In particular we discuss the commonly used classification of CP violation -- CP violation in the mass matrix, in the interference of mixing…
We review new physics effects on CP violation in B decays. We describe the Standard Model predictions for the various types of CP asymmetries and discuss the theoretical cleanliness of these predictions. We point out the ingredients in the…
The mechanism of CP violation remains one of the puzzles in particle physics. Key to understanding this phenomenon are nonleptonic $B$ decays, especially multibody decays which exhibit large CP asymmetries in various regions of phase space.…
The CP-violating asymmetries in the exclusive decay B->K^*l^+l^- (l=e,mu,tau) are predicted to be exceedingly small in the standard model (SM), thereby offering an opportunity to assess various new-physics scenarios. We derive quantitative…
We review several methods for determining the Kobayashi-Maskawa phase $\gamma={\rm Arg} V^*_{ub}$ from rate and CP asymmetry measurements in hadronic B decays. We focus on the processes $B\to DK, B_s\to D_s K$, and on charmless decays to…
Generically, non-Standard-Model particles contribute to processes with order-one charge-parity (CP) violating phases, as CP is not a fundamental symmetry of nature. The exploration of CP violation becomes therefore a sensitive search for…
The role of B decays in the study of CP violation is reviewed. We treat the interactions and spectroscopy of the $b$ quark and then introduce CP violation in $B$ meson decays, including time-dependences, decays to CP eigenstates and…
The present status of CP violation in decays of neutral kaons is reviewed. In addition selected rare decays of both K and B mesons are discussed. The emphasis is in particular on observables that can be reliably calculated and thus offer…
After an introduction to the Standard-Model description of CP violation, we turn to the main focus of these lectures, the B-meson system. Since non-leptonic B decays play the key role for the exploration of CP violation, we have to discuss…
In this decade, the exploration of CP violation is governed by the B-meson system, where non-leptonic decays play an outstanding role. To set the stage, we have first a look at the main strategies to circumvent the calculation of the…
We summarize the results of two papers in which we have studied CP violation in inclusive and exclusive decays b -> d e^+e^-. Two CP-violating effects are calculated: the partial rate asymmetry between b and \bar{b} decay, and the asymmetry…
Recent CP asymmetry measurements in tree-dominated processes, $B^0\to \pi^+\pi^-, \rho^+\rho^-, \rho^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}, B^+\to DK^+$, and in penguin-dominated decays, $B \to \pi^0 K_S, \eta' K_S, \phi K_S$, are interpreted in the framework of…
We present a pedagogical review of the phenomenology of CP violation, with emphasis on B decays. Main topics include the phenomenology of neutral meson systems, CP violation in the Standard Model of electroweak interactions, and B decays.…
We briefly discuss measurements of CP violation in Bs --> J/psi phi decay. Both the phenomenology of Bs mixing and the importance of the measurement to searches for new physics, as well as technical details and issues with the analysis are…
We discuss the history of CP violation and its manifestations in kaon physics, its explanation in terms of phases of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix describing charge-changing weak quark transitions, predictions for experiments…
After a brief look at CP violation in kaon decays, a short overview of CP violation in the $B$-meson system and of strategies to determine the angles of the unitarity triangles of the CKM matrix is given. Both general aspects and some…
