We report a measurement of CP asymmetry parameters in the decay B0(B0bar) -> J/Psi pi0, which is governed by the b->c cbar d transition. The analysis is based on a 140/fb data sample accumulated at the Upsilon(4S) resonance by the belle…

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…

New physics contributions to B_s-\bar{B}_s mixing can be parametrized by the size (r_s^2) and the phase (2\theta_s) of the total mixing amplitude relative to the Standard Model amplitude. The phase has so far been unconstrained. We first…

We present a novel method to search for a new CP-violating phase in b -> ss~ss~s transition using B -> phi phi Xs decays, where Xs represents a final state with a specific strange flavor such as K+/-, K*+/-, or K+/-pi-/+. Direct CP…

I discuss three B physics results with potential for exhibiting new flavour-changing interactions: (1) the time-dependent CP asymmetry in B\to J/\psi K_S decay; (2) branching fractions and CP asymmetries in B\to \pi\pi, \pi K decays; (3)…

Motivated by the possibility of ${\cal S}_{\phi K_S}<0$, we study the implications for $B_s$ meson system. In a specific model that realizes ${\cal S}_{\phi K_S}<0$ with large $s$-$b$ mixing, right-handed dynamics and a new CP phase, we…

Supersymmetric contributions to time independent asymmetry in $B^0_s \to J/\psi \phi$ process are analyzed in the view of the recent Tevatron experimental measurements. We show that the experimental limits of the mass difference $\Delta…

The most sensitive experimental searches for $D-\bar D$ mixing use $D^0 \to K^+ \pi^-$ decays. It is often assumed that effects of New Physics and, in particular, CP violation, can appear through the mixing, while the $c \to d u \bar s$…

We argue that the observation of a sizable direct CP asymmetry A_{CP} in the inclusive decays B -> X_s gamma would be a clean signal of New Physics. In the Standard Model, A_{CP} can be calculated reliably and is found to be below 1% in…

Within the standard model, a relation involving branching ratios and direct CP asymmetries holds for the B-decay pairs that are related by U-spin. The violation of this relation indicates new physics (NP). In this paper, we assume that the…

We present new measurements of CP-violation parameters in B0->phi/Ks, K+K-Ks, f0(980)Ks, eta'Ks, omega/Ks, Pi0/Ks, and K*0(KsPi0)/gamma decays based on a sample of 275x10^6 BBbar pairs collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the Belle…

I review CP violation in the standard model (SM). I also describe the predictions for CP violation in the B system, along with signals for physics beyond the SM. I stress the numerous contributions of Pat O'Donnell to this subject. Finally,…

Theoretical remarks are offered regarding recent hadron collider results on the mixing and decays of $B_s$ mesons. Topics covered include: (1) CP-violating mixing in $B_s(\ob_s) \to J/\psi \phi$, (2) the D0 dimuon charge asymmetry, (3)…

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…

The small P wave compoment of $B\to J/\psi K^*$ measured by CLEO makes it practical to measure $\sin2\beta$ using $B^0\to J/\psi K^{*0}\to J/\psi K_S \pi^0$, independent from $B^0\to J/\psi K_S$. Because these modes are color suppressed,…

CP violation in $B^0_s$-$\bar B^0_s$ oscillations is expected at the $10^{-5}$ level in the Standard Model but could be enhanced by New Physics. Using $B^0_s\to D_s^-\ell^+\nu_\ell$ decays, LHCb has recently reported the new result…

We study B^+/- --> J/psi pi^+/- and B^+/- --> J/psi K^+/- decays in a sample of about 89 million BB~ pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B-factory at SLAC. We observe a signal of 244 +/- 20 B^+/- --> J/psi…

This paper is concerned with the physics of meson decays to J/psi and phi.These decays have been observed at the Tevatron [7] and, in particular, should be copiously observed at the LHCb detector. This paper gives a concise presentation of…

New measurements of the CP asymmetry in B->\psi K_S, a_{\psi K_S}, by the BABAR and BELLE collaborations are consistent with the Standard Model prediction for sin2\beta. These measurements, however, leave open the possibility that a_{\psi…

We show that new physics, either from CPT violation in B^0-\bar{B}^0 mixing or from \Delta B = -\Delta Q transitions, may lead to an opposite-sign dilepton asymmetry of neutral B-meson decays. Both effects have the same time-dependent…
