CP Violation: CKM and Beyond

Since CP violation in the B meson system was first observed in B->charmonium K0 decays, an extensive program of measurements of CP violation and the angles of CKM Unitarity triangle in various decay modes has been carried out at the B factories. We review the current status of the CKM angles and as well as the search for new new CP violating phase in penguin dominated modes.

33. Experimental review of CKM sides at B factories

CP Violation: CKM and Beyond

We present the current status of the determination of the length of the sides of the Unitarity Triangle of the CKM matrix. We will review measurements of |Vcb| and |Vub| from inclusive and exclusive semileptonic b->c and b->u transitions. We will also discuss constraints on |Vtd/Vts| from radiative penguin decays.

CP Violation: CKM and Beyond

Evidence for charm mixing has been reported by several experiments over the past year and a half. When combined, these measurements exclude the absence of charm mixing with a significance of more than 6 standard deviations. Any sign of CP violation in D mixing would be a clear sign of new physics. We present a review of recent charm mixing measurements and searches for...

23. New states and charmonium spectroscopy at B factories

CP Violation: CKM and Beyond

Recently, new states including charm and anti-charm quarks have been observed in B factories in various processes. In particular, states that do not fit in the spectrum of ordinary charmonium states predicted by theory are of great interest. We present a review of recent observations of these states.

The K+ to pi+ nu nubar decay is a flavor changing neutral currentprocess which proceed through box and purely electroweak penguin diagrams. It is very clean theoretically: short distance dynamics dominates, c-quarks contributions have been evaluated to NNLO order at 5%, and the hadronic matrix elements can be parameterized in terms of the K+ to pi0 e+ nubar branching ratio that is well...
