Abstract
We discuss the effect of CP-violating Zbb, ZbbG and Zbbγ couplings on the width Γ(Z→ b bX). The presence of such couplings leads in a natural way to an increase of this width relative to the prediction of the standard model. Various strategies of a direct search for such CP-violating couplings by using CP-odd observables are outlined. The number of Z bosons required to obtain significant information on the couplings in this way is well within the reach of present LEP experiments.
