CP Violation: Mystery, Triviality or Opportunity?

WHGA Auditorium

Prof. M. Beneke, Aachen

Abstract:
Until recently experimental evidence of CP violation has been in a state of stagnancy since the first observation 35 years ago. Meanwhile the theoretical perception of CP violation has markedly changed. In this talk I attempt to summarize the role of CP violation in the Standard Model and to evaluate how well theorists are prepared to interpret the wealth of forthcoming data from B factories in the context of the standard theory and beyond.
