P and CP violation in B Decays

الأصل · EN

While the Kobayashi--Maskawa model of CP violation passed its first crucial precision test in B→ J/ψKₛ, other CP asymmetries in B and Bₛ decays will have to be measured in order to critically test and overconstrain the model in an unambiguous way. On another front, the chirality of weak b-quark couplings has not yet been carefully tested. We discuss recent proposals for studying both the chiral and CP-violating phase structures of these couplings in B→ D*ρ and B→ D*a₁.
