Abstract
In these lectures I review what has been learned from studies of b-quark decays, including semileptonic decays (V ub and V cb ), \({{B}^{0}} - {{\bar{B}}^{0}}\) mixing and rare B decays. Then a discussion on CP violation follows, which leads to a summary of plans for future experiments and what is expected to be learned from them.

Since the resolution on is about 2.5 worse than the resolution on \(|{{p}_{{miss}}}|( \approx 110 MeV)\) , the neutrino four-vector is defined as \(({{E}_{v}},{{\vec{p}}_{v}}) = (|{{\vec{p}}_{{miss}}}|,{{\vec{p}}_{{miss}}})\) .
