We present a first measurement of CP asymmetries in neutral B decays to D+D-, and updated CP asymmetry measurements in decays to D*+D- and D*-D+. We use fully-reconstructed decays collected in a data sample of (232 +- 3) x 10^6 Y(4S) ->…
We study the decay B0->D*+D*-Ks using (230 +/- 2) x 10^{6} BBbar pairs collected by the Babar detector at the PEP-II B factory. We measure a branching fraction B(B0->D*+D*-Ks)=(4.4\pm0.4\pm0.7)\times 10^{-3} and find evidence for the decay…
An analysis of B0->D K*0 decays is presented, where D represents an admixture of D0 and D0b mesons reconstructed in four separate final states: K-pi+, pi-K+, K+K- and pi+pi-. The data sample corresponds to 3.0fb-1 of proton-proton…
Relative branching fractions of Bd,Bs --> h+ h'- decays (where h,h'= K or pi) and direct CP asymmetry in Bd --> K+ pi- have been measured with 180 pb-1 of data collected by the CDFII detector at the Tevatron collider. This includes the…
A binned Dalitz plot analysis of $B^\pm \to D K^\pm$ decays, with $D \to K_S \pi^+\pi^-$ and $D \to K_S K^+ K^-$, is performed to measure the \CP-violating observables $x_{\pm}$ and $y_{\pm}$, which are sensitive to the…
We discuss several aspects of direct CP asymmetries in B decays, which are very useful in spite of hadronic uncertainties in asymmetry calculations. 1) Asymmetries in decays to $D^{(*)}K^{(*)}$, $\pi^+\pi^-, \rho^+\rho^-$, providing…
Using a sample of 227 million $\Upsilon(4S) \to B \bar{B}$ events collected with the $BABAR$ detector at the PEP-II $B$ Factory in 1999--2004, we study $B^- \to D^0 K^*(892)^-$ decays where $K^{*-} \to K^0_S \pi^-$ and $D^0 \to K^-\pi^+,…
We present preliminary measurements of the CP asymmetry parameters and CP content in B0 --> K+K-K0L decays, with B0 --> phi K0L events excluded. In a sample of 227 M B bar B pairs collected by the BaBar detector at the PEP-II B Factory at…
We perform a systematic study of CP-violating observables in \ddbar\ decays. We show that given a final state, which may be a CP eigenstate or not, all the observables can in principle be measured if decay-time information is available and…
In this talk, I review the various measurements that have been made over the years of CP-violating observables in $B$ decays. These include indirect CP asymmetries, direct CP asymmetries, and triple products. All are discussed in the…
We report the first reconstruction in hadron collisions of the suppressed decays B^- -> D(-> K^+ pi^-)K^- and B^- -> D(-> K^+ pi^-)pi^-, sensitive to the CKM phase gamma, using data from 7 fb^-1 of integrated luminosity collected by the CDF…
Measurements of the angles and sides of the unitarity triangle and of the rates of rare B meson decays are crucial for the precise determination of Standard Model parameters and are sensitive to the presence of new physics particles in the…
We report a study of $\Lambda_c^+\to\Lambda h^+$ and $\Lambda_c^+\to\Sigma^{0} h^+$ ($h\!=\!K,\,\pi$) decays based on a data sample of 980~${\rm fb}^{-1}$ collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB energy-asymmetric $e^+e^-$ collider.…
We have searched for direct CP violation in quasi-two-body charmless B decays observed in a sample of about 45 million B mesons collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II collider. We measure the following charge asymmetries in decay:…
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…
A comprehensive program of \cp~studies in heavy flavour decays has to go beyond observing large \cp asymmetries in nonleptonic B decays and finding that the sum of the three angles of the KM triangle is consistent with 180$^{\circ}$. There…
An angular analysis for B decays into two vector mesons gives parameters sensitive to new physics. They are the decay amplitudes of the three helicity states, the asymmetry in triple product, and the CP violating phase. The measurements of…
We define a CP-asymmetric observable that is sensitive to CP-violating interactions in the gauge-boson sector. We illustrate the utility of this observable by studying how well the LHC can measure the coefficient of a particular…
The tree-level measurement of the CKM $\gamma$ angle is a crucial test of $CP$ violation in the Standard Model (SM). Discrepancies between direct measurements (tree-level decays) and indirect measurements (loop decays) could indicate…
