Between 1992 to 1996, the CDF and D0 detectors each collected data samples exceeding 100 pb^{-1} of p\bar{p} collisions at sqrt{s}=1.8 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron. These data sets led to a large number of precision measurements of the…
New physics contributions to B_s-\bar{B}_s mixing can be parametrized by the size (r_s^2) and the phase (2\theta_s) of the total mixing amplitude relative to the Standard Model amplitude. The phase has so far been unconstrained. We first…
Motivated by the possibility of ${\cal S}_{\phi K_S}<0$, we study the implications for $B_s$ meson system. In a specific model that realizes ${\cal S}_{\phi K_S}<0$ with large $s$-$b$ mixing, right-handed dynamics and a new CP phase, we…
B-B-bar mixing involves three physical parameters: the magnitudes of the off-diagonal elements of the mass and decay matrices and their relative phase. They are related to the mass and width differences between the mass eigenstates and to…
We discuss the implications of the recent measurement of the $B_s-\bar{B_s}$ oscillation frequency $\Delta M_s$ on the parameter space of R-parity violating supersymmetry. For completeness, we also discuss the bounds coming from leptonic,…
We report an updated measurement of the CP-violating phase, $\phi_s^{J/\psi \phi}$, and the decay-width difference for the two mass eigenstates, $\Delta \Gamma_s$, from the flavor-tagged decay $B_s^0 \rightarrow J/\psi \phi$. The data…
The CP-violating asymmetry a_{sl}^s is studied using semileptonic decays of Bs and anti-Bs mesons produced in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV at the LHC, exploiting a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity…
Heavy, as yet undiscovered particles, can affect measurements of CP violation in the B system. Measuring CP violation in the Bs system provides an excellent place to observe such effects since Standard Model sources are predicted to produce…
LHCb has recorded large samples of semileptonic {\textit B} decays. These provide the possibility to study {\textit CP} violation effects in the $B^{0}_s$ and $B^{0}$ systems. Decay-time-integrated or decay-time-dependent asymmetries…
The $B_s$ system is analyzed in light of a possible width difference $\Delta\Gamma_s$ between its mass eigenstates. If $\Delta\Gamma_s$ is sizable, untagged $B_s$-meson decays may allow a probe of CP violation and moreover the extraction…
Supersymmetric contributions to time independent asymmetry in $B^0_s \to J/\psi \phi$ process are analyzed in the view of the recent Tevatron experimental measurements. We show that the experimental limits of the mass difference $\Delta…
We report the measurements of the $CP$-violating parameters in $B_s^0 \to D_s^{\mp} K^{\pm}$ decays observed in $pp$ collisions, using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0\,\text{fb}^{-1}$ recorded with the LHCb…
We report a new sensitive search for CPT violation, which includes improved measurements of the CPT-violating parameter z and the total decay-width difference normalized to the averaged width DeltaGamma_d/Gamma_d of the two Bd mass…
We discuss some possible signals of CPT violation in the $B_s$ system that may be probed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We show how one can construct combinations ofobservables coming from tagged and untagged decay rates of $B_s\to…
The presence of a sizeable CP-violating phase in B_s^0-B_s^0-bar mixing would be an unambiguous signal of physics beyond the Standard Model. We analyse various possibilities to detect such a new phase considering both tagged and untagged…
In a previous publication we noted that the time dependence of an incoherent $B^0-\bar{B}^0$ mixture undergoes a qualitative change when the magnitude of CP violation $\delta$ exceeds a critical value. Requiring, on physical grounds, that…
We describe measurements of CP and CPT violation parameters in B^0B^0bar oscillations, performed at BaBar by using BBbar events collected at the Y(4S) mass peak. These are obtained from two different B-reconstruction methods, namely:…
