Description

The Belle experiment has provided a rich environment for the studies of CP violation in the B meson sector. The Belle detector collects BBbar pairs at the Y(4S) resonance at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. We present the latest measurements and their impact on the CKM unitarity triangle for B decays. Due to the success of the CKM mechanism, attention has turned recently to measurements that may be sensitive to New Physics. We discuss these measurements as well as various measurements on CP violation in the decay.
