Using primarily experimental inputs for S (Bd→ ψKs),[Formula: see text],[Formula: see text],
BR (B→ τν) and ϵK along with necessary inputs from the lattice, we find that the measured …

▪ Abstract CP violation plays a privileged role in our quest for new physics beyond the
electroweak standard model. In the standard model, the violation of CP in the weak …

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 …

We comment on the implications of the recently measured CP asymmetry in B→ φ KS decay.
The data disfavor the standard model at 2.7 σ and, if the trend persists in the future with …

The fourth generation can give the correct trend of Script S ϕK 0, Script S π 0 K 0< sin 2ϕ 1,
as indicated by data, and the effect, being largely leading order, is robust against hadronic …

We consider several hints for new physics involving CP-asymmetries in B-decays and
interpret them in terms of generic contributions to effective Wilson coefficients. The effects we …

The recently observed direct CP violation in Bd→ K+ π− has raised suggestions of possible
new physics. A robust test of the standard model vs. new physics is its prediction of equal …

We point out the strong correlation between the CP-violating asymmetries in the decays B
0→ Ψ K s and B 0→ π+ π− that is predicted by the Kobayashi-Maskawa model. This results …

We derive model-independent lower bounds on the CKM parameters (1-ρ¯) and η¯ as
functions of the mixing-induced CP asymmetry S in B→ π+ π-and sin⁡ 2 β from B→ ψ KS …

The effective phase 2βseff can be extracted from the indirect CP-violating asymmetry in
Bs0→ K (⁎) 0K¯(⁎) 0. In the standard model, 2βseff is expected to vanish, and so its …
