We report the observation of CP violation in the $B^0$ meson system. Using a novel technique for time-dependent measurements, we measure a non-zero value for the CP-violating amplitude $\sin 2\beta$ at the 4.1 $\sigma$ level. We also report…
The study of charmless hadronic two-body decays of B mesons is one of the most fascinating topics in B physics. A construction of the unitarity triangle based on such decays is presented, which is independent of B-B(bar) and K-K(bar)…
The phenomenological description of the neutral B meson system is proposed in terms of the fundamental CP-violating observables and within a rephasing invariant formalism. This generic formalism can select the time-dependent and…
The BaBar experiment at SLAC is designed to measure CP violation in the B meson system, however the very high statistics combined with the different electron and positron beam energies, the detector design and the open trigger allow a wide…
The $B^0_{s,d} \to J/\psi \eta^{(\prime)}$ decays provide new terrain for exploring CP violation. After briefly discussing $\eta$-$\eta'$ mixing, we analyse the effective lifetimes and CP-violating observables of the $B_s$ channels, which…
Differences in the behaviour of matter and antimatter have been observed in $K$ and $B$ meson decays, but not yet in any baryon decay. Such differences are associated with the non-invariance of fundamental interactions under the combined…
New BABAR results on B mesons and quarkonia are presented: an analysis of B+ --> X(3872)K+ and B0 --> X(3872)K0 decays with X(3872) --> J/Psi pi+pi-, a precise measurement of the B mass difference Delta mB = m(B0) - m(B+) and a study of…
Recent data on $B$ meson mixings and decays are, in general, in accord with the standard model expectations, except showing a few hiccups: (i) a large phase in $B_s$ mixing, (ii) a significant difference ($> 3.5 \sigma$) between…
We present the summary of the working group on $B$ mixing and the related CP violation at the CKM 2014 workshop. The contributions reflect the experimental and theoretical progress in the field over the last two years since the last CKM…
The neutral kaon meson mixing plays an important role in test of the Standard Model (SM) and new physics beyond it. Scale invariant unparticle physics induces a flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) transition of $K^0-\bar K^0$ oscillation…
We present an analysis of CPT violation in $B\to J/\psi K$ decays. A method of kaon regeneration is proposed to increase the $K_{S(L)}$ interference effects. With the time evolution of both neutral B and K mesons, we show that it is…
We set a preliminary 95% C.L. exclusion on the oscillation frequency of $B_s^0 - \bar{B_s^0}$ mixing using a sample of 400,000 hadronic $Z^0$ decays collected by the SLD experiment at the SLC during the 1996-98 run. Three analyses are…
The current status of the experimental knowledge of neutral B meson oscillation is reviewed. The B0d oscillation frequency is precisely measured by SLD, CDF and the LEP experiments. An overview of the analyses and their combination is…
We propose a new method to determine the mass and width differences of the two D meson mass-eigenstates as well as the CP violating parameters associated with D^0-\bar{D}^0 mixing. We show that an accurate measurement of all the mixing…
We propose a new method to extract $D^0-\bar{D}^0$ mixing parameters using the $D^0 \to \bar{K}{}^0 \pi^0$ decay with the $\bar{K}{}^0$ reconstructed in the semileptonic mode. Although a $K^0 \to \pi^\pm l^\mp \nu_l$ decay suffers from low…
I discuss topics of particular interest in connection with the ongoing experiments at the B factories BaBar and Belle: B-mixing, QCD effects in nonleptonic decays and rare decays.
We present evidence for D0-D0bar mixing in $D^0 \to K^{+}\pi^{-}$ decays from 384 fb^{-1} of e+e- colliding-beam data recorded near sqrt(s)=10.6 GeV with the Babar detector at the PEP-II storage rings at SLAC. We find the mixing parameters…
Branching fractions of B^0s decays into specific CP eigenstates are presented, and these and other results are combined in world averages to evaluate implications on the width difference between mass or CP eigenstates, \Delta\Gamma_s. New…
Time-dependent B0-antiB0 flavor oscillations and B0 and B+ lifetimes are studied in a sample of fully reconstructed B mesons collected with the BaBar detector, running at the PEP-II asymmetric e+e- B Factory with center-of-mass energies…
We consider three possible scenarios of new physics in B^0_d-\bar{B}^0_d mixing and propose a simple framework for analyzing their effects. This framework allows us to study the CP asymmetry in semileptonic B_d decays ({\cal A}_{SL}) and…
