Abstract:


Particles with beauty - those containing the 'b', or 'beauty' quark - can shed light on new physics.
By comparing decays of these particles with those of the corresponding antiparticles, a wealth of
information becomes available on the fundamental mechanism for the violation of CP symmetry
- the product of charge reflection (C) and space inversion, or parity (P).  The theoretical background
will be reviewed, and the rich experimental opportunities described.
