CP violation in B meson decays
Recent CP asymmetry measurements in tree-dominated processes, $B^0\to \pi^+\pi^-, \rho^+\rho^-, \rho^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}, B^+\to DK^+$, and in penguin-dominated decays, $B \to \pi^0 K_S, \eta' K_S, \phi K_S$, are interpreted in the framework of the Kobayashi-Maskawa (KM) mechanism of CP violation. The KM phase emerges as the dominant source of CP violation in tree-dominated decays, which are beginning to constrain the unitarity triangle beyond other constraints. Improving precision of CP asymmetry measurements in penguin-dominated decays may indicate the need for new physics.
