The significance of measuring CP violation in B, K and D decays is explained. The predictions of the Standard Model for CP asymmetries in B decays are analyzed in detail. Then, four frameworks of new physics are reviewed: (i) Supersymmetry provides an excellent demonstration of the power of CP violation as a probe of new physics. (ii) Left-right symmetric models are discussed as an example of an extension of the gauge sector. CP violation suggests that the scale of LRS breaking is low. (iii) The variety of extensions of the scalar sector are presented and their unique CP violating signatures are emphasized. (iv) Vector-like down quarks are presented as an example of an extension of the fermion sector. Their implications for CP asymmetries in B decays are highly interesting.Read More
