CP violation prospects at the LHC

Abstract

In the last few years experiments at B-factories have established CP violation in Bd decays. From 2007 onward new experiments will start to exploit the large bb̄ cross-section at the LHC to advance the understanding of CP violation by studying unprecedented large samples of all B-meson flavours. After a short review of the present status, the experimental challenges for the future experiments will be described. The emphasis will be on LHCb, a dedicated B-physics experiment at the LHC, and some examples of the projected physics results will be presented.
