In this talk, I review the various measurements that have been made over the years of CP-violating observables in $B$ decays. These include indirect CP asymmetries, direct CP asymmetries, and triple products. All are discussed in the…

We discuss methods used to interpret the measurements of CP-asymmetry in B->pi+pi- within the framework of the Standard Model. Interpretations using various theoretical inputs are given, ranging from the rather general, yet unpredictive,…

In this paper, we investigate the CP asymmetries ${\mathcal A}_{CP}^{pm}$ and ${\mathcal A}_{CP}^{mp}$ in $B_{c}^{\pm}\rightarrow B^{\pm} K^{0}+B^{\pm} {\bar{K}}^0\rightarrow B^{\pm} \pi^{\pm} e^{\mp} \nu_{e}$ and $B_{c}^{\pm}\rightarrow…

We report the first observation of a manifestly CP violating effect in the K(L)->pi+pi-e+e- decay mode. A large asymmetry was observed in the distribution of these decays in the CP-odd and T-odd angle phi between the decay planes of the…

The first full angular analysis and an updated measurement of the decay-rate $CP$ asymmetry of the $D^0 \to \pi^+\pi^-\mu^+\mu^-$ and $D^0 \to K^+K^-\mu^+\mu^-$ decays are reported. The analysis uses proton-proton collision data collected…

We update the theoretical analysis of the CP-violating asymmetry in the decay K_L -> pi+ pi- e+ e-, relying on chiral perturbation theory and on the most recent phenomenological information. With the experimentally determined magnetic…

We propose a theoretical framework to understand the observable charge-parity (CP) violation in charmless three-body $B^\pm$ decays. The decay amplitudes put together the $\pi\pi \to KK $ re-scattering and the U-spin symmetry, treated…

It is well known that one can use B -> pi pi decays to probe the CP-violating phase \alpha. In this paper we show that these same decays can be used to search for new physics. This is done by comparing two weak phases which are equal in the…

The first measurements of the forward-backward asymmetry of the dimuon pair ($A_{FB}$), the triple-product asymmetry ($A_{2\phi}$), and the charge-parity-conjugation asymmetry ($A_{CP}$), in $D^0\to\pi^+\pi^-\mu^+\mu^-$ and $D^0\to…

The recent Belle and Babar measurements of the branching ratios $B^- \to \pi^+ \pi^- K^-$ and $B^- \to K^+ K^- K^-$ and $B^\pm \to \chi_{c0} K^\pm$ have renewed interests in these decays as another mean to look for direct CP violation in B…

We review the theoretical status of the B --> pi K decays, focusing on recent developments in the QCD factorization and perturbative QCD approaches as well as on the Standard-Model correlation between the mixing-induced and direct CP…

We present a systematic analysis of the angular distribution of Bbar -> Kbar^\ast (-> Kbar pi) l^+ l^- decays with l = e, mu in the low recoil region (i.e. at high dilepton invariant masses of the order of the mass of the b-quark) to…

We review and update the effects of physics beyond the standard model on CP asymmetries in B decays. These asymmetries can be significantly altered if there are important new-physics contributions to \bqbqbar mixing. This same new physics…

Direct CP violation in B -> J/Psi K is a clean test for new physics. However, the direct CP asymmetry will vanish if the new-physics amplitude has the same strong phase as the standard-model amplitude. We show that this type of new physics…

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 $K^0-\bar{K}^0$…

Combining the up-to-date experimental information on $B\to\pi K, \pi K^{\ast}$ and $\rho K$ decays, we revisit the decay rates and CP asymmetries of these decays within the framework of QCD factorization. Using an infrared finite gluon…

It is shown that in the approximation of $|\frac{q}{p}|$=1 the CP violation in $B^0_{d,s} \to l^+ l^-$ decays vanishes in SM. In a 2HDM with CP violating phases and MSSM the CP asymmetries depend on the parameters of models and can be as…

Standard Model (SM) CP asymmetries in $B \to K \ell^+ \ell^-$ are expected to be very small. This feature could help in the understanding of new physics scenarios which predict the existence of CP odd phases in various Wilson coefficients.…

We introduce a set of observables representing angular distribution asymmetries, which can be viewed as a generalization of the forward-backward asymmetry of angular distributions, and can be used as an effective tool to search for $C\!P$…

We study time dependent CP asymmetries in B^0_{d,s} decays in the left-right model with spontaneous breakdown of CP. Due to the new contributions to B^0-\bar B^0 mixing the CP asymmetries can be substantially modified. Moreover, there can…
