B physics and CP violation

After an introduction to the standard-model description of C P violation and a brief look at the present status of this phenomenon in the kaon system, a classification of non-leptonic B-decays is given and the formalism of B"0_d_,_s-B"0_d_,_s mixing is discussed. We then turn to the B-factory benchmark modes, C P violation in charged B decays, and the B_s-meson system. Finally, we focus both on B #-># #pi#K decays, which play an important role to probe the CKM angle #gamma#, and on the B_d #-># #pi#"+#pi#"-, B_s #-># K"+K"- system, which allows an interesting determination of #beta# and #gamma#.
