CP violation offers a powerful probe for testing the Standard Model. In this endeavour, non-leptonic decays of B mesons play a key role. I will discuss benchmark decays and puzzling patterns emerging from theoretical analyses of the current…
It is shown that in R-parity violating models of supersymmetry, the CP violation observed in the kaon system could arise purely from the R-parity violating scalar interactions (A-terms), with no CP violation in the CKM matrix. The direct CP…
