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…
Although CP violation is predicted to be small in the Standard Model, there exists a continuing theoretical interest within the charm sector due to enhancements of CPV through new physics processes. We present an overview of the…

CP violation offers a powerful probe for testing the Standard Model. In this endeavour, non-leptonic decays of B mesons play a key role. I will discuss benchmark decays and puzzling patterns emerging from theoretical analyses of the current…

It is shown that effects of CP violation arise in neutrino-photon scattering. Several CP-violating $\nu\gamma$ reactions are considered within the Standard Model and predictions for some observables are made. It is emphasized that…
We explore the possibility of using CP violation in B decays to detect the presence of physics beyond the Standard Model. We first study the possibility of new physics in the $B-\bar B$ mixing amplitude. We discuss a construction to extract…
The phenomenon of CP violation is crucial to understand the asymmetry between matter and antimatter that exists in the Universe. Dramatic experimental progress has been made, in particular in measurements of the behaviour of particles…
Lepton charge asymmetries can be used as an alternative means of searching for new physics. They are interesting because they are small in the Standard Model and therefore, necessarily evidence new physics. In this work we explore the use…
I discuss theoretical and phenomenological aspects of flavour violation in charged lepton transitions. This includes minimal extensions of the Standard Model within effective-theory approaches, as well as an incomplete selection of concrete…
We summarize briefly the CKM picture of flavour and CP violation that governs the models with minimal flavour violation (MFV). We then describe how this framework can be efficiently tested through particle-antiparticle mixing and rare $K$…
The consideration of chirality-preserving 2-fermion order parameters may shed new light on the strong CP problem and the breakdown of flavor symmetries. We describe two situations, one having the standard KM picture for weak CP violation…
