Abstract

The field of flavour oscillation and CP violation of B mesons has received fresh input from the new B meson factories and is rapidly changing. We see a clear support for the ideas of Kobayashi and Maskawa on the origin of CP violation in the Standard Model, fitting both K and B decays. Many crosschecks will be possible of which first hints are already showing up today, and we can still hope for surprises in the near future.
