CKM matrix and CP violation in B-mesons

Abstract

Planned as a review of CPV in B-mesons which covered recent B-factories results these lectures appeared to be a bit wider. It is not natural to be limited by direct CPV and that in mixing in B-mesons and not to speak about the analogous phenomena in K-mesons since it is very useful and interesting to study what is common and what is different in these systems and why. CKM matrix elements are extracted from K and B mixings and decays and the deviation from unitarity of CKM matrix may become a place in which New Physics will show up. So we discuss this simple and elegant piece of Standard Model as well.
