In this paper we present a feasibility study for measuring the combination of the Unitarity Triangle angle 2$\beta +\gamma$ with a time dependent Dalitz analysis in $B^0$ decays using $D^- K^0 \pi^+$ final states following the method…
The aim of the paper is to show that the nowadays experimental data from superallowed nuclear and neutron $\beta$ decays, and from leptonic and semileptonic decays allow the finding of the most probable numerical form of the KM matrix, as…
We present the first model-independent measurement of the CKM unitarity triangle angle $\phi_3$ using $B^{\pm}\to D(K_{\rm S}^0\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0)K^{\pm}$ decays, where $D$ indicates either a $D^{0}$ or $\overline{D}^{0}$ meson. Measurements…
We combine the D0 measurement of the width difference between the light and heavy B_s^0 mass eigenstates and of the CP-violating mixing phase determined from the time-dependent angular distributions in the B_s -> J/psi phi decays along with…
We employ one-particle-exchange method to study D-->PV decays in D-->K \rho, \pi K*, \pi \rho processes. Taking into account a strong phase and considering nonfactorizable effect, we can get good results consistent with the experimental…
The latest results for the measurement of the CP violating phase beta_s in B0s -> J/psi phi decays, from 5.2 fb-1 integrated luminosity of CDF data are presented. For the first time, this measurement includes the contribution of B0s ->…
The four LEP experiments and the SLD detector have measured the Z partial widths for Z decays into b and c quarks and the corresponding forward-backward asymmetries at centre-of-mass energies close to the Z boson mass. The results yield a…
Recent CLEO results on neutral charm meson decays presented at the XXXVIth Rencontres de Moriond are discussed. We find no evidence of CP asymmetry in five different two-body decay modes of the D0 to pairs of light pseudo-scalar mesons. We…
In a recently suggested method for measuring the weak phase $\gamma$ in $B^\pm \to K^\pm (KK^*)_D$ decays, the relative strong phase $\delta_D$ in $D^0 \to K^{*+} K^-$ and $D^0 \to K^{*-} K^+$ decays (equivalently, in $D^0 \to K^{*+} K^-$…
Measurements of many Standard Model constants are clouded by uncertainties in nonperturbative QCD parameters that relate measurable quantities to the underlying parton-level processes. Generally these QCD parameters have been obtained from…
The processes $D^0\to K^0 K^-\pi^+$ and $D^0\to\ok K^+\pi^-$ involve intermediate vector resonances whose amplitudes and phases are related to each other via flavor SU(3) symmetry. A closer look at Dalitz plots for these two processes is…
A new method for model-independent measurement of the CKM angle $\beta$ is proposed, that employs time-dependent analysis of flavour-tagged $B^0\to D\pi^+\pi^-$ decays with $D$ meson decays into CP-specific and~$K_S^0\pi^+\pi^-$ final…
Flavour physics represents one of the most interesting and, at the same time, less understood sector of the Standard Theory. On the one hand, the peculiar pattern of quark and lepton masses, and their mixing angles, may be the clue to some…
We present preliminary results of several analyses searching for the effects of CP violation and mixing in the decay of $D^0$ mesons. We find no evidence of CP asymmetry in five different two-body decay modes of the $D^0$ to pairs of light…
After a short introduction to the SM picture of CP violation, we discuss recent work on how to use SU(3) flavor symmetry, along with some dynamical approximations, to extract the CKM weak phases and the strong rescattering phases from…
BESIII has recently accumulated a large data sample near the $\psi(3770)$ production threshold corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $20\text{ fb}^{-1}$. Neutral $D^0\bar{D}^0$ pairs produced at the $\psi(3770)$ are in a $C$-odd…
Measurements of charm mixing parameters from the decay-time-dependent ratio of D0->K+pi- to D0->K-pi+ rates and the charge-conjugate ratio are reported. The analysis uses data, corresponding to 3 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity, from…
In this paper, I report the preliminary results of the strong phase difference $\cos\delta_{K\pi}$ between the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed process $\overline{D}{}^0\to K^- \pi^+$ and Cabibbo-favored $D^0\to K^- \pi^+$ at BESIII. In addition,…
We review searches for mixing and CP violation in the D0-D0bar system and discuss the first evidence for mixing recently obtained by the Belle and BABAR collaborations. We also present world average values for the mixing parameters x=Delta…
