Description
Insight into the violation of CP symmetry is provided by the decays of B mesons, studied intensively at the KEK-B and PEP-II electron-positron colliders by the Belle and BaBar Collaborations. Especially interesting information has been obtained recently on CP asymmetries in the decays of B mesons to certain final states such as \\pi\\pi and \\phi K S. Recent work on extracting information on physics in and beyond the Standard Model from these decays will be described.
