CP Violation in $B_s$ Decays

Abstract

CP-violating effects in non-leptonic $B_s$-meson decays are reviewed. Special emphasis is given to implications arising from the width difference $ΔΓ_s$ between the $B_s$ mass eigenstates. If $ΔΓ_s$ is found to be sizable, certain untagged $B_s$-meson decays may allow interesting probes of CP violation, extractions of the CKM angle $γ$ and the Wolfenstein parameter $η$, and may indicate physics beyond the Standard Model.
