$CP$ asymmetry is a crucial element in interpreting the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe and searching for new physics beyond the Standard Model. In this work, we study the $CP$ asymmetries in the $\Lambda_c^+\to pK^0_S$ and…
Theoretical uncertainties with the time-dependent CP asymmetries $\Delta S$ and $A_{\rm CP}$ in $B^0\to K^+K^-K_S$, $K_SK_SK_S$ and $K_S\pi^0\pi^0$ decays are discussed. In order to have a reliable estimate of CP asymmetries, it is very…
We present measurements of branching fractions and CP asymmetries of several B- -> D(*)0 K(*)- decays, with the D(*)0 decaying to CP-even, CP-odd, and flavor eigenstates, that can constrain the CP angle gamma as well as the amplitude ratio…
We study CP asymmetries in $B^{\pm}\to h\pi^{\pm}$ decays, where the hadronic states $h=\rho\rho, K\Kbar\pi$, $\pi^+\pi^-K^+K^-$, etc., and $h=\pi^+\pi^-, K^+K^-, 2(\pi^+\pi^-)$, etc., are taken on the resonances $\eta_c$ and $\chi_{c0}$,…
In a large class of models, the only significant new physics effect on the CP asymmetries in $B \to \psi K_S$ and $B \to \pi\pi$ decays is a new contribution to the $B-\bar B$ mixing amplitude. This allows a model independent construction…
The CP asymmetry in inclusive B->X_{s,d}+gamma decays is an important probe of new physics. The theoretical prediction was thought to be of a perturbative origin, and in the standard model, to be about 0.5 percent. In a recent work with M.…
We report updated measurements of indirect and direct CP asymmetry in decays $D^0 \to K^+K^-,\pi^+\pi^-$ and a new measurement of direct and indirect CP asymmetry in decays $D^0 \to \pi^0\pi^0$, using the full data sample of the Belle…
It is generally believed that the decay mode $B\to K^*\ell^+\ell^-$ is one of the best modes to search for physics beyond the standard model. The angular distribution enables the independent measurement of several observables as a function…
We present new measurements of CP-violation parameters in B0->phi/Ks, K+K-Ks, f0(980)Ks, eta'Ks, omega/Ks, Pi0/Ks, and K*0(KsPi0)/gamma decays based on a sample of 275x10^6 BBbar pairs collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the Belle…
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…
CP violation in K and B decays is reviewed in the Standard Model (SM) and beyond the SM. In K decays, one is seeking first evidence for CP violation in direct $K\to \pi\pi$ decays. This would not give a precise quantitative test for the…
We present a measurement of CP-violating asymmetries in B0 -> pi+pi- decays based on 41.8 fb-1 data sample collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. From the asymmetry in the…
After a brief look at CP violation in kaon decays, a short overview of CP violation in the $B$-meson system and of strategies to determine the angles of the unitarity triangles of the CKM matrix is given. Both general aspects and some…
We report the measurements of branching fractions and CP violation asymmetries in $B^0 \to \phi K^{*}$ decays obtained in an angular analysis using the full data sample of $772 \times 10^6 B\bar{B}$ pairs collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$…
We describe a new method for obtaining the CP phase alpha via measurements of B_{d,s} -> K(*) Kbar(*) decays. This method is particularly appropriate for hadron colliders since some of the branching ratios are small [O(10^{-6})], and since…
We discuss two dedicated observables in exclusive B -> K* l+ l- decay that can be used to study effects of physics beyond the standard model, namely the forward-backward asymmetry in the lepton spectrum and the isospin-asymmetry between…
The decay process $B\to D^+ D^- \pi^0$ is an interesting channel for the investigation of CP violating effects in the $b-$ sector. We write down a decay amplitude constrained by a low-energy theorem, which also includes the contribution of…
Using the general, model independent form of effective Hamiltonian, the decay spectrum of B^0 -> pi^+ pi^- l^+ l^- decay is studied. The sensitivity of experimentally measurable asymmetries to the new Wilson coefficients and time is…
We investigate allowed regions in observable space of B --> pi K, B_d --> pi^+pi^- and B_s --> K^+K^- decays, characterizing these modes in the Standard Model. After a discussion of a new kind of contour plots for the $B\to\pi K$ system, we…
