CP Violation in the B System: Measuring New-Physics Parameters

I review CP violation in the standard model (SM). I also describe the predictions for CP violation in the B system, along with signals for physics beyond the SM. I stress the numerous contributions of Pat O'Donnell to this subject. Finally, I discuss a new method for measuring new-physics parameters in B decays. This knowledge will allow us to partially identify any new physics which is found, before its direct production at high-energy colliders
