Abstract:

Thanks to the great success of the B factory experiments, our knowledge on CP violation phenomena has been greatly improved in the past years. In this paper, we describe the experimental apparatus, mainly the Belle detector at KEK, and review the major results from CP violation measurements by the B factory experiments.
