CKM Phases from CP Asymmetries

Abstract

Measuring phases in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix through CP asymmetries in B decays is a major goal of current and future experiments. Methods based on charge-conjugation and isospin symmetries involve very little theoretical uncertainties, while schemes based on flavor SU(3) involve uncertainties due to SU(3) breaking. Resolving these uncertainties requires further studies involving a dialogue between theory and experiments.
