CP-violation
We will present the final measurement of the direct CP violation parameter, Re(ϵ′/ϵ),
from the KTeV experiment at Fermilab. We will also describe precision measurements
of the KL -KS mass difference, Δm, the KS lifetime, τS , and the CPT tests, ϕ+− and Δϕ.
These results are based on the full dataset collected by the KTeV experiment at Fermi
National Accelerator Laboratory during 1996,...

LHCb is an experiment which has been designed to make precise measurements of CP violating quantities in B-hadron decays. The scope and experimental challenges of this programme are outlined. Our knowledge of the unitarity triangle will be improved significantly with respect to the present status. In particular, the precision on the angle gamma is expected to improve dramatically. Comparison...

The Belle detector at the KEKB electron-positron collider has collected nearly 1~ab$^{-1}$ of data in its decade of operation. The KEKB group has proposed Super-KEKB, an upgrade of KEKB to increase the luminosity by two orders of magnitude during a three-year shutdown, with an ultimate goal of 8 x 10^35/cm^2/s luminosity. To exploit the improved luminosity, an upgrade of the Belle detector...

We report a search for the decays B- --> D0 K-
and B- --> D*0 K- and their charge conjugates
where the flavor of the neutral D0 meson is ambiguous.
The final state particles for the D0 K- and D*0 K- modes are
[K+ pi-] K- and ([K+ pi-] pi0) K- or ([K+ pi-] gamma) K-
respectively. These decays are sensitive to the CKM angle gamma due to
interference between the b --> c and b --> u...

The loops involved in $b \to s$ penguin transitions provide sensitivity for precision tests of the Standard Model and searches for new physics. We present measurements of inclusive and exclusive radiative and electroweak B decays from the Belle detector, located at the KEKB asymmetric $e^+e^-$ collider, which has collected the world's largest sample of data at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance.
