CP Violation in B and K Decays: 2003

Abstract

These lectures give a brief description of CP violation in B and K meson decays with particular emphasize put on the determination of the CKM matrix. The following topics will be discussed: i) The CKM matrix, the unitarity triangle and general aspects of the theoretical framework, ii) Particle-antiparticle mixing and various types of CP violation, iii) Standard analysis of the unitarity triangle, iv) The ratio epsilon^prime/epsilon, v) The most important strategies for the determination of the angles $\alpha$, $\beta$ and $\gamma$ from B decays, vi) Rare decays $K^{+}\to {\pi }^{+}\nu \bar{\nu }$ and $K_L\to {\pi }^0\nu \bar{\nu }$ vii) Models with minimal flavour violation.
