CPasymmetries in neutralB-meson decays

Abstract
The formalism of the CP-violating asymmetries in neutral B-meson decays is discussed in detail. The standard model predictions of the CP-violating effects are estimated. The implications of these predictions are then intensively analyzed in the phenomenology of the asymmetries in semileptonic decays, in the decay to a final CP eigenstate, and in the decay of B0B¯0 into two CP eigenstates in the view of the next planned B factories.
