Abstract
This contribution reports on recent LHCb achievements in the pursuit of CKM triangle measure- ments and probes of CP violation in the charm system. These results are based on the 2010 dataset or, in some cases, preliminary results using the data collected by summer 2011.

A fundamental feature of the Standard Model and its three quark generations is that all hadronic CP violation phenomena are the result of a single phase in the CKM quarkmixing matrix [1]
Summary
A fundamental feature of the Standard Model and its three quark generations is that all hadronic CP violation phenomena are the result of a single phase in the CKM quarkmixing matrix [1]. One relation that is is readily applicable to B mesons is This equation defines a triangle of similar height and width and predicts large CP violation in the B system. The LHCb detector [6] takes advantage of the high bband cccross sections at the Large Hadron Collider to collect unprecedented samples of heavy meson decays. It has a spectrometer design instrumenting the pseudorapidity range 2 < η < 5 of the proton-proton collisions. LHCb benefits from two ring-imaging Cherenkov (RICH) counters with three radiating media: aerogel, C4F10 and CF4 These detectors provide dedicated particle identification (PID), vital for the hadronic physics program
