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…
Measurement of $CP$-violating observables in semileptonic decays is a sensitive null-test of the Standard Model: any $CP$ violation would be an unambiguous sign of New Physics effects. The model-independent technique to measure parity and…
