CP Violation in B Decays and Strategies for Extracting CKM Phases
Abstract
Description
A brief review of CP violation in the $B$-meson system and of strategies to determine the angles $α$, $β$ and $γ$ of the unitarity triangle of the CKM matrix is given. Both general aspects and some recent developments are discussed, including a critical look at the ``benchmark'' modes, CP violation in penguin decays, $B_s$ decays in the light of the width difference $ΔΓ_s$, charged $B$ decays, and strategies to probe the CKM angle $γ$ with $B\toπK$ modes.
