I review the implications of recent measurements of CP violation in D meson decays in the context of standard model extensions. Using effective theory methods, one can derive significant constraints on the possible non-standard…
We investigate the possibility of observing the direct CP violation in the decay modes $B^- \to D^0 D_s^-$ and $D^0 D^-$ within the Standard Model. Including the contributions arising from the tree, annihilation, QCD as well as electroweak…
We report the first observation of CP-violating asymmetries in B0 --> pi+pi- decays based on a 140 fb-1 data sample collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. We reconstruct…
We report on a search for CP violation in the decays K^0_{\scriptscriptstyle S} K^\pm$, ${D_s^{\pm} \to K^0_{\scriptscriptstyle S} K^\pm$, and ${D_s^{\pm} \to K^0_{\scriptscriptstyle S} \pi^\pm$ using a data set corresponding to an…
The current status of the search for indirect CP violation in the neutral D meson system at the B-factories and at LHCb is reported. The indirect CP asymmetry search is performed by the measurement of the proper-time asymmetry…
We study direct CP violation in the hadronic decay $B^{\pm} \to \rho^{0}\pi^{\pm}$, including the effect of $\rho - \omega$ mixing. We find that the CP violating asymmetry is strongly dependent on the CKM matrix elements, especially the…
The measurement of CP asymmetries in charged B meson decays might provide the first demonstration of CP violation outside the K system. Among the usual three CP-odd phases $\alpha$, $\beta$ and $\gamma$, the phase $\gamma$ seems to be the…
We present a calculation of the direct CP asymmetry, $A_{CP}^{dir}$, for the process $B^+ \to \pi^+ K^0$ including the effects of long-range inelastic final-state interactions (FSI). We admit three channels in our calculation: $B^+ \to…
B --> K^* \pi and B --> \rho K decays involve the same quark-level processes as B --> \pi K. Analyzing the measurements of the former decays might be able to shed additional light on the new-physics hints in the current B --> \pi K data. We…
We present a preliminary study of $B^- \to D^0_{CP} \pi^-$ and $B^- \to D^0_{CP} K^-$ decays, with the $D^0_{CP}$ reconstructed in the CP-odd eigenstates $K_s \pi^0$, $K_s \omega$, in the CP-even eigenstates $K^+ K^-$, $\pi^+ \pi^-$, and in…
Contributions to B - \bar B mixing from physics beyond the standard model may be detected from CP-violating asymmetries in B decays. There exists the possibility of large new contributions that cannot be detected by first generation…
One distinguishes between "true" CP violating triple product (TP) asymmetries which require no strong phases and "fake" asymmetries which are due to strong phases but require no CP violation. So far a single true TP asymmetry has been…
We have searched for direct CP violation in quasi-two-body charmless B decays observed in a sample of about 45 million B mesons collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II collider. We measure the following charge asymmetries in decay:…
We present a preliminary measurement of the time-dependent CP asymmetry for the neutral B-meson decay into the CP = +1 final state KS pi0 pi0, with KS-> pi+ pi- and pi0-> gamma gamma. We use a sample of approximately 227 million B-meson…

Measurements of the CKM parameter $\sin(2 \beta)$ have established $CP$ violation in the $B^0$ meson system arising from the interference between mixing and decay. However, direct CP violation, arising from the interference among different…
In the study of CP violation within and beyond the Standard Model of particle physics, pure hadronic B decays are the key players. Improving the determination of the CKM angle $\gamma$ is one of the important tasks in this endeavour.…
Measurements of $CP$ asymmetry in charmless $B\to PV$ decays are presented, where $P$ and $V$ denote a pseudoscalar and a vector meson, respectively. Five different $B\to PV$ decays from four final states, $B^\pm \to \pi^\pm \pi^+ \pi^-$,…
We report on the first measurement of the direct $CP$-violating asymmetry ($\mathcal{A}$) in the charmless decay $B^0 \to K^0\pi^0$ at Belle II and an updated measurement of its branching fraction ($\mathcal{B}$). We use a sample of…
Some experimental tests are suggested for possible CP-violations for decays of $B^\pm$ bosons. Especially, a detailed comparison of decays $B^+ \rightarrow D^0 \pi^+ \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $B^- \rightarrow \overline{D^0} \pi^- \pi^- \pi^+$ will…
