Abstract:
The study of CP-violating asymmetries in B0B^0 decays to CP eigen- states promises, at last, to allow a test of the Standard Model explanation of CP violation. More generally, the measurement of these CP asymmetries can provide us with a series of unique, and uniquely stringent, consistency tests of the quark sector of the Standard Model. These tests, which will be carried out by the BABAR detector at PEP-II, will provide us with perhaps the best chance to challenge the Standard Model in new and quantitatively precise ways. This challenge has come about through the interplay of a series of experimental and theoretical events....
