Abstract:
CP violation is known since 1964 to occur as small asymmetry in the
neutral kaon system, and is well explained today in the Standard
Model. In 2001, a big asymmetry at a different place, in the system
of neutral B mesons, has been significantly established for the first
time and found to agree with the Standard Model prediction. The
phenomenology of CP violation and the measurement of the CP violating
parameter sin 2\beta by the BABAR experiment will presented. We also
search for more CP asymmetries at B mesons, and will be able to test
the Standard Model using many different channels in the next few
years.
