Recent experimental results on the CKM angles beta and alpha
Richard Kass (Ohio State University, USA)

The CKM matrix provides a description of CP violation in the standard model. Experiments (BABAR and Belle) at the B-factories are testing the validity of this approach to CP violation using B-mesons. In this presentation I will review the current status of two of the three CKM phases, alpha (phi2) and beta (phi1), used to describe CP violation in B-meson decay.
