We will prove the Berry–Esseen theorem for the number counting function of the circular β-ensemble (CβE), which will imply the central limit theorem for the number of points in arcs of the unit circle in mesoscopic and macroscopic scales. We will prove the main result by estimating the characteristic functions of the Prüfer phases and the number counting function, which will imply the uniform upper and lower bounds of their variance. We also show that the similar results hold for the Sineβ process. As a direct application of the uniform variance bound, we can prove the normality of the linear statistics when the test function f(θ)∈W1,p(S1) for some p∈(1,+∞).
