A search for CP violation in $D^0 \rightarrow K^{-} K^{+} $ and $D^0 \rightarrow \pi^{-} \pi^{+} $ decays is performed using $pp$ collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3~fb^{-1}$, collected using the LHCb detector at…
Direct CP violation can exist in untagged, neutral B-meson decays to certain self-conjugate, hadronic final states. It can occur if the resonances which appear therein permit the identification of distinct, CP-conjugate states -- in analogy…
We report the first measurement of CP-violation parameters in B^0 -> K_S^0\rho^0\gamma decays based on 657 million B\bar B pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy collider. We measure the time-dependent CP…
In this paper the most recent Tevatron results concerning CP violation in the B0s system are reviewed. These are the measurement of the direct CP asymmetry in the B0s->K-\pi+ decay performed by CDF and the measurement of \Delta\Gamma_s and…
We make a systematic analysis of the effects of new physics in the B decay amplitudes on the CP asymmetries in neutral B decays. Although these are expected to be smaller than new physics effects on the mixing amplitude, they are easier to…
We study the contribution of the squark flavor mixing from the $LR(RL)$ component of the squark mass matrices to the direct CP violation of the $b\to s\gamma$ decay and the CP-violating asymmetry in the non-leptonic decays of $B$ mesons.…
The direct CP asymmetry in the weak decay process of hadrons is commonly attributed to the weak phase of the CKM matrix and the indeterminate strong phase. We propose a way of creating a strong phase difference between two decay paths…
We present here the CP asymmetries in the decay rate and angular distributions of $\tau\to K_S\pi\nu_\tau$ decays in the Standard Model (SM) and beyond (BSM). The CP asymmetries in the SM are induced by the CP violation in $K^0-\bar{K}^0$…
The near equality between the measured value for $|V_{ub}|/|V_{cb}|$ and its unitarity triangle lower bound from $\sin 2\beta$ measurements suggests that $\alpha \approx 90^{\circ}$ and $\sin\gamma \approx \cos\beta = 0.91$ and a large…
We review new physics effects on CP violation in B decays. We describe the Standard Model predictions for the various types of CP asymmetries and discuss the theoretical cleanliness of these predictions. We point out the ingredients in the…
The direct CP-violation in the left-right symmetric $SU(2) \times SU(2) \times U(1)$ model is investigated for the decay $b \rightarrow s\gamma$. The calculated CP-asymmetry for the wide range of parameters can be larger than in standard…
The quantities $\epsilon_K^\prime$ and $\epsilon_K$ measure the amount of direct and indirect CP violation in $K\to \pi\pi$ decays, respectively. Using the recent lattice results from the RBC and UKQCD Collaborations and a new compact…
The last three years have seen a phase transition in our knowledge about CP violation: (i) Direct CP violation has been established in $K_L \to \pi \pi$. (ii) The first CP violation outside $K_L$ decays has been observed in $B_d \to \psi…
We present preliminary measurements of CP-violating asymmetries in B decays. These include new results on the CKM angle alpha based on studies of the decay B -> rho+ rho- and several charmonium and hadronic penguin modes, sensitive to the…
We present results on CP violation from approximately 2.8 fb^{-1} of data collected by the D0 Experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron. The results presented are: (i) an improved measurement of the B_s^0 CP-violating phase from a flavor-tagged…
We point out that dynamics known from the observed CP violation in $K_L\to \pi^{\mp}l^{\pm}\nu$ generate a CP asymmetry of $3.3\cdot 10^{-3}$ in $\tau^{\pm} \to \nu K_L\pi^{\pm}$. CPT invariance requires the same asymmetry in the more…
We study the direct CP asymmetries in the decays of $B^0 \to \Xi_c^+ \overline{\Xi}_c^-$ and $B_s^0 \to \Lambda_c^+ \overline{\Lambda}_c^-$, emphasizing the critical role of final-state interactions (FSIs). In these channels, the small…
Direct CP violation in charmless three-body hadronic decays of $B$ mesons is studied within the framework of a simple model based on the factorization approach. Three-body decays of heavy mesons receive both resonant and nonresonant…
The explanation of the large CP asymmetries in $D^0\to (\pi^+\pi^-, K^+K^-)$ decays observed by the LHCb collaboration is likely to call for new physics beyond the CKM paradigm. We explore new contributions caused by the color-sextet scalar…
We consider CP violating effects in decays of the type $B^\pm\to \gamma a^\pm_{1,2}$ where $a_{1,2}$ are the $J^P=1^+$ and $2^+$ resonances each decaying to the common final state via $a^\pm_{1,2} \to\pi^\pm\rho^0$. The resonances enhance…
