Evidence for CP violation in B+ three-body decays

First observation of B_s --> phi K*0 decay

Abstract

The latest experimental results in charmless B decays are presented with a focus on CP violation measurements. These include the first observation of CP violation in B_s decays, evidence for CP violation in charmless three-body B+ decays, branching fraction measurements of B+ --> ppK+ decays and the first observation of the decay B_s --> phi K*0 from LHCb, a comparison of B+ --> K+K-K+ CP violation measurements between LHCb and BaBar, and the first evidence for the decay B0 --> K+K-pi0 obtained by Belle.
