Future probes of the origin of CP violation

Abstract

We review what has been learned about CP violation in the K system. It is natural to hypothesize that the observed CP-violating effects are caused by the Standard Model weak interaction. We describe the stringent future test of this hypothesis via experiments on the B system. Then, we see how new physics beyond the Standard Model could be revealed by this test.
