The existence of $D^0-\overline{D^0}$ mixing at a detectable level requires new physics, which effectively yields a $\Delta c = 2$ superweak interaction. In general this interaction may involve significant CP violation. For small values of…
There is growing evidence for deviation from the standard model predictions in the ratios between semi-tauonic and semi-leptonic $B$ decays, known as the $R(D^{(*)})$ puzzle. If the source of this non-universality is new physics, it is…
50 years after the discovery of the first charmed particle, charm physics continues to be an extremely lively field of research and a cornerstone in particle physics. The study of charm, with its unique properties, is characterised by many…
We review some selected topics in the decays of heavy flavours, beauty and charm, which are of principal interest at HERA-B and HERA. The topics in $B$ physics include: an update on the quark mixing matrix and CP violating phases, issues…
The observed D0 - anti-D0 oscillations provide a new stage in our search for New Physics in heavy flavour dynamics. The theoretical verdict on the observed values of x_D and y_D remains ambiguous: while they could be totally generated by…
We perform a detailed analysis of flavour changing neutral current processes in the charm sector in the context of 331 models. As pointed out recently, in the case of $Z^\prime$ contributions in these models there are no new free parameters…
We exploit the angular and quantum correlations in the $D\bar{D}$ pairs produced through the decay of the $\psi(3770)$ resonance in a charm factory to investigate CP-violation in two different ways. We consider the case of…
The starting point of these lectures is an introduction to the weak interactions of quarks and the Standard-Model description of CP violation, where the key element is the Cabibbo--Kobayashi--Maskawa matrix and the corresponding unitarity…
We study the possibility of obtaining large direct CP violation in the charmed hadron decays $D^+ \to \rho^+ \rho^0 (\omega) \to \rho^+ \pi^+\pi^-$, $D^+ \to \pi^+ \rho^0 (\omega) \to \pi^+ \pi^+\pi^-$, $D^0 \to \phi \rho^0 (\omega) \to\phi…
Latest results on mixing and $CP$ violation in the charm decays at the $B$-factories are reported.
Multibody charm decays have a rich phenomenology and potentially unique sensitivity to CP violation. In these proceedings we discuss recent results, challenges and prospects in searches for CP violation in three and four body charm decays.
In these three lectures, I overview the theoretical framework of the flavour physics and CP violation. The first lecture is the introduction to the flavour physics. Namely, I give theoretical basics of the weak interaction. I follow also…
We present an updated study of charm mixing and the relative strong phase between doubly Cabibbo-suppressed D0 --> K+pi- and Cabibbo-favored D0bar --> K+pi- decay amplitudes using 3 x 10^6 quantum-correlated D0D0bar pairs from 818 pb^-1 of…
The study of $C\!P$ violation in decays of beauty- and charm-hadrons provides a fundamental test of the predictions of the Standard Model (SM) and represents a sensitive probe to search for physics effects that cannot be described within…
Recent results on searches for CP and CPT violation in the charm sector are presented. These results include limits on direct CP violation in several channels from the FOCUS and CLEO experiments. The first reported search for CPT violation…
$D^0-\bar{D}^0$ mixing at a detectable level requires the presence of new physics and may lead to some observable effects in weak decays of $B$ mesons. We show that $CP$ violation induced by $D^0-\bar{D}^0$ mixing can manifest itself in the…
Motivated by the possible large direct CP asymmetry of \bar{B}^0_d \to D^+ D^- decay measured by Belle collaboration, we investigate double charm B_{u,d} and B_s decays in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with R-parity violation.…
CP violation has so far been observed in one system only, namely in the decays of neutral kaons, and it can still be described by a single real quantity corresponding to a superweak scenario. In these lectures I describe why limitations on…
An overview of the recent first observation of CP violation in the Charm sector by the LHCb collaboration. Selection of theoretical models explaining this measurement is reviewed. Finally, experimental prospects for future measurements are…
We analyze patterns from CP-violating new physics (NP) in hadronic and semileptonic rare charm $\vert \Delta c \vert=\vert \Delta u\vert=1$ transitions. Observation of direct CP-violation in hadronic decays, as in $\Delta A_{\text{CP}}$,…
