I review the theoretical basis of the prediction that the decay K_L -> pi+ pi- e+ e- should show a large CP- and T-violation, a prediction now confirmed by the KTeV experiment. The genesis of the effect lies in a large violation of CP- and…

The search for CP-violating K_S\to3\pi^0 decay was performed with SND detector at VEPP-2M e^+e^- collider. The total amount of data corresponding to 7 million produced K_S mesons was analyzed. No candidate events were found, giving an upper…

We report the results of a CP violation analysis of the decay B+/- --> D(pipipi0)K+/-, where D(pipipi0) indicates a neutral D meson detected in the final state pi+pi-pi0, excluding K_S pi0. The analysis makes use of 324 million e+e- --> BB…

Rare kaon decays offer a powerful tool for investigating new physics in $s\to d$ transitions. Currently, many of the interesting decay modes are either measured with rather large uncertainties compared to their theoretical predictions or…

We study CP violation and the contribution of the strong kaon-pion interactions in the three body B --> K pi+ pi- decays. We extend our recent work on the effect of the two-pion S- and P-wave interactions to that of the corresponding…

I report the analysis of B-->h+h'- decays (where h and h' denote K or pi), in 180 pb-1 of proton-antiproton collisions at s**0.5= 1.96 TeV, with the CDF II detector at the Tevatron Collider. A B-->h+h'- signal was reconstructed at a hadron…

Experiment E949 at Brookhaven National Laboratory studied the rare decay \$K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar{\nu}$ and other processes with an exposure of $1.77\times 10^{12}$ $K^+$'s. The data were analyzed using a blind analysis technique yielding one…

The rare $K \to \pi \nu \bar{\nu}$ decay modes and the parameter $\epsilon_K$ that measures CP violation in Kaon mixing are sensitive probes of physics beyond the standard model. In this article we provide the updated standard-model…

Recent results from the NA48/2 experiment are presented. The $\pi\pi$ scattering lengths $a_0^0$ and $a_0^2$ have been extracted from the cusp in the $M_{00}^2$ distribution of $K^\pm \to \pi^\pm \pi^0 \pi^0$ decays and from the $K^\pm \to…

Meson decays offer a good opportunity to probe new physics. The rare kaon decay $K^+ \rightarrow \pi^+ \nu\bar{\nu}$ is one of the cleanest of them and, for this reason, is rather sensitive to new physics, in particular, vector mediators.…

The rare decay B -> K* (-> K pi) mu+ mu- is regarded as one of the crucial channels for B physics as the polarization of the K* allows a precise angular reconstruction resulting in many observables that offer new important tests of the…
