We examine the unparticle CP-conserving phase effects on the direct CP asymmetry for both polarized and unpolarized lepton in the inclusive $b\to d \ell^+ \ell^-$ transition, where the flavor changing neutral currents are forbidden at tree…
We review and update the effects of physics beyond the standard model on CP asymmetries in B decays. These asymmetries can be significantly altered if there are important new-physics contributions to \bqbqbar mixing. This same new physics…
The subject of particle-antiparticle mixing in the neutral B meson systems is reviewed. The formalism of B0-B0bar mixing is recalled and basic Standard Model predictions are given, before experimental issues are discussed and the latest…
New physics effects may yield a detectable mass difference in the D0-D0bar system, Delta m_D. Here we show that this has an important impact on some B --> D decays. The effect involves a new source of CP violation, which arises from the…
The status of possible new-physics signals in B_s,d-meson mixing and decay is reviewed. In particular, it is emphasized that the recent LHCb results, that find no evidence for a non-standard phase in B_s-barB_s mixing, make a consistent…
The phenomenon of $B^0_q-\bar B^0_q$ mixing ($q=d,s$) provides a sensitive probe for physics beyond the Standard Model. We explore the corresponding space for New Physics left through the current data, having a careful look at analyses of…
We present the current status of the search for new physics effects in the mixing quantities $\Delta M_s$, $\Delta \Gamma_s$ and $\phi_s$ of the neutral $B_s$-system.
The mixing-induced CP-violating phase $\phi_s$ in ${B}^0_s$ and $\overline{B}^0_s$ decays is measured using the $J/\psi \pi^+\pi^-$ final state in data, taken from 3\,fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity, collected with the LHCb detector in 7…
We investigate the possibility that the CP violation due to the soft supersymmetry breaking terms in squark mixing can give significant contributions to the various $\gamma$ related parameters in B decays, different from those of the…
The determination of the mixing induced CP-violating asymmetry in decays such as $B^0_s \to J/\psi \phi$ is one of the key goals of the LHCb experiment. Its value is predicted to be very small in the Standard Model but can be significantly…
Using the latest determinations of several theoretical and experimental parameters, we update the Unitarity Triangle analysis in the Standard Model. The basic experimental constraints come from the measurements of |V_ub/V_cb|, Delta M_d,…
The theoretical precision of the measurement of the $B^0_{d,s}$-$\bar B^0_{d,s}$ mixing phases $\phi_{d,s}$ through the benchmark decays $B^0_d\to J/\psi K_S$, $B^0_s\to J/\psi \phi$ and $B^0_s\to J/\psi f_0(980)$ is limited by doubly…
The anomalously large like-sign dimuon charge asymmetry in semileptonic b-hadron decays recently measured by the D0 Collaboration may be hinting at the presence of CP-violating new physics in the mixing of B_s mesons. It has been suggested…
Most recently, both BaBar and Belle experiments found evidences of neutral $D$ mixing. In this paper, we discuss the constraints on the strong phase difference in $D^0 \to K\pi$ decay from the measurements of the mixing parameters,…
If neutrinos get mass via the seesaw mechanism the mixing matrix describing neutrino oscillations can be effectively non-unitary. We show that in this case the neutrino appearance probabilities involve a new CP phase, phi, associated to…

We analyse three different New Physics scenarios for Delta F=2 flavour-changing neutral currents in the quark sector in the light of recent data on neutral-meson mixing. We parametrise generic New Physics contributions to B_q-Bbar_q mixing…
In models of three or more scalar doublets, new CP violating phases appear in charged scalar exchange. These phases affect CP asymmetries in neutral $B$ decays, even if Natural Flavor Conservation holds. The recent upper bound on the decay…
We discuss two models with 1 extra CP phase in $b\leftrightarrow s$ transition. The CP phase $\arg (V_{t^\prime s}V_{t^\prime b})$ with fourth generations, previously ignored, could impact on $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$, $\Delta m_{B_s}$ and…
