This is a pedagogical review of some selected topics of CP and T violation in the decays of K mesons. Diagonalization of the quark mass matrix and the emergence of the complex phase in both the standard and the left--right symmetric models…
A short overview of FCNC and CP-violating observables in K decays is presented. Particular attention is paid to the possibility of performing precision tests of flavour dynamics and to the search for New Physics.
The maximal CP violation hypothesis depends on the phase convention of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix. A phase convention which leads to successful prediction under the maximal CP violation hypothesis is searched, and thereby,…
These lectures give an up to date description of CP violation and rare decays of K and B mesons and consist of ten chapters: i) Grand view of the field including CKM matrix and the unitarity triangle, ii) General aspects of the theoretical…
The discovery of CP violation in charm sector in 2019 was a milestone in searches performed over last decades. The $\Delta A_{CP}$ measured by LHCb is at the upper end of the Standard Model predictions. This triggers many interpretations…
CP violation has so far been observed in one system only, namely in the decays of neutral kaons, and it can still be described by a single real quantity corresponding to a superweak scenario. In these lectures I describe why limitations on…
I review CP violation in the standard model (SM). I also describe the predictions for CP violation in the B system, along with signals for physics beyond the SM. I stress the numerous contributions of Pat O'Donnell to this subject. Finally,…
Motivated by the recent 3.9$\sigma$ evidence for CP violation from the LHCb collaboration in decays of an anti-triplet beauty baryon to a charmonium, an octet baryon, and a pseudoscalar meson, we perform, for the first time, a systematic…
CP violation in $B\to J/\psi K^*$ decays is studied using an angular analysis in a data sample of 253 fb$^{-1}$ recorded with the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ collider. The flavor separated measurements of the decay amplitudes…
The mechanism of CP violation remains one of the puzzles in particle physics. Key to understanding this phenomenon are nonleptonic $B$ decays, especially multibody decays which exhibit large CP asymmetries in various regions of phase space.…
If new CP violating physics contributes to neutral meson mixing, but its contribution to CP violation in decay amplitudes is negligible, then there is a model independent relation between four (generally independent) observables related to…
We present the current status of experimental results and prospects for the determination of CP and T violation in the charm sector. Such measurements have acquired renewed interest in recent years in view of theoretical work, which has…
Although CP violation was discovered more than thirty years ago, its origin is still unknown. In these lectures, we describe the CP-violating effects which have been seen in K decays, and explain how CP violation can be caused by the…
After $CP$ violation was discovered in the $K_L \to \pi^+\pi^-$ decay, many theories were proposed to explain it, and the Kobayashi-Maskawa model and the Superweak model lasted for many years as strong candidates. High-precision kaon…
CP violation in top physics is reviewed. The Standard Model has negligible effects, consequently CP violation searches involving the top quark may constitute the best way to look for physics beyond the Standard Model. Non-standard sources…
In this talk I begin with some general discussion of the history of CP violation, then move on to aspects of a spontaneous CP violation model including the production of new particles at LHC, implications for B decay, generalized Cabibbo…
The $B \to \pi K$ system provides a rich laboratory for testing the Standard Model and studying CP violation. A particularly important channel is $B^0_d\to\pi^0 K_{\rm S}$, the only mode exhibiting both direct and mixing-induced CP…
After an introduction to the Standard-Model description of CP violation and a brief look at the present status of this phenomenon in the kaon system, a classification of non-leptonic B-decays is given and the formalism of…
Search for patterns in the numerous B-decay modes now available is necessary in order to test the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa theory of CP-violation. In particular, the well-structured pattern of B to PI K branching ratios may lead to a…
These lectures present the phenomenology of B meson decays and their impact on our understanding of CP violation in the quark sector, with an emphasis on measurements made at the e+e- B factories. Some of the relevant theoretical ideas such…
