Towards New Frontiers in CP Violation in B Decays

Abstract

CP-violating effects in decays of B mesons offer a wide spectrum of probes for testing the phase structure of the quark-flavour sector of the Standard Model. After a brief discussion of the picture emerging from the current LHC data, the focus will be put on two specific topics: hadronic uncertainties from penguin topologies on measurements of the $B_q^0$-${\bar{B}}_q^0$ mixing phases ($q\in \{d,s\}$), and the U-spin-related decays $B_s^0\to K^{+}{K}^{-}$ and $B_d^0\to {\pi }^{+}{\pi }^{-}$. Valuable new insights are expected from future studies of CP violation in B decays. For the detection of possible new sources of CP violation, it will be crucial to match the experimental and theoretical precisions and to have a careful look at the underlying assumptions.
