I point out that $B \to X_q \l^+ \l^-$ decays $(q = s, d)$ are sensitive probes of possible violation of CKM unitarity. I compute the decay rates and asymmetries in a minimal extension of the Standard Model containing an additional…
We study possible effects of new physics in CP asymmetries in two-body $B_s$ decays in left-right models with spontaneous CP violation. Considering the contributions of new CP phases to the $B_s$ mixing as well as to the penguin dominated…
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…
Motivated by the recent observation of CP violation in the charm sector by LHCb, we study direct CP asymmetries in the standard model (SM) for the singly Cabibbo-suppressed two-body hadronic decays of charmed mesons using the…
We measure rate asymmetries for the rare decays B->K(*)l+l-, where l+l- is either e+e- or mu+mu-, using a sample of 384 million BBbar events collected with the Babar detector at the PEP-II e+e- collider. We find no evidence for direct CP or…
We point out that, in a class of SO(10) models with matter fields in 16 and 10 representations and type II realization of the seesaw mechanism, the light neutrino masses and the CP asymmetry needed for leptogenesis are controlled by one and…
The main focus of this paper is to introduce a new method to control perturbative calculations of CP asymmetric reaction rates in the Boltzmann equation. CP asymmetries in particle reactions are traditionally calculated in terms of complex…
Direct CP asymmetry in semi-leptonic $\tau$ decays is an intriguing hint for new physics beyond the standard model. We investigate the CP asymmetry in $\tau^- \to K_S^0 \pi^- \nu_\tau$ and $\tau^- \to K^- \pi^0 \nu_\tau$ decays in…
Direct CP violation can occur in B-meson decays of the type b -> d+c+cbar, where the charm-anticharm pair forms a J/psi. The CP asymmetry requires the contribution to the amplitude from decays into other states, which rescatter into d+J/psi…
Longitudinal lepton polarization asymmetry in B_q -> l l (q = d, s$ and l = e, mu, tau) decays is investigated. The analysis is done in a general manner by using the effective operators approach. It is shown that the longitudinal lepton…

We consider the combined measurements of CP-averaged decay rates and direct CP asymmetries of $B^\pm\to K^\pm \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $B^\pm\to \pi^\pm \ell^+ \ell^-$ to probe (non-local) four-quark operator matrix element contributions to rare…
In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with complex parameters, one-loop corrections to the decay of a stop into a bottom-quark and a chargino can lead to a CP violating decay rate asymmetry. We perform a detailed numerical…
The LHCb and CDF Collaborations have recently reported evidence for a CP asymmetry around -0.7% in $\Delta A_{CP}$, the difference between $A_{CP}(D^0 \to K^+ K^-)$ and $A_{CP}(D^0 \to \pi^+\pi^-)$. In the Standard Model this effect may be…
CP violation from physics beyond the Standard Model is investigated in $B_{l4}$ decays: $B\to D\pi l\bar{\nu}_l$. In the decay process, we include various excited states as intermediate states decaying to the final hadrons, $D+\pi$. We…
The time-dependent CP asymmetry in exclusive B^0(t) -> K^{*0}\gamma decays has been proposed as a probe of new physics in B decays. Recently, this method was extended to radiative decays into multibody hadronic final states such as B^0(t)->…
