In this work, a comprehensive analysis for processes related to $b\to c\bar{u}q~(q=d, s)$ transitions are carried out, including new physics contributions. In light of a recent tension between branching fractions for $B_{(s)}\to…
Upper bounds at the weak scale are put on all $\lambda'_{ijk}\lambda'_{imn}$ type products of R-parity violating supersymmetry that may affect K-Kbar and B-Bbar mixing. We constrain all possible products, including some not considered…
I review several topics involving CP violation with heavy hadrons. In particular, I discuss (i) Hyperons: CP violation in the decay $\Lambda^0 \to p \pi^-$, (ii) Charm: indirect CP violation in the D^0 system, both within and beyond the SM,…
Kaon polarization operator in dense baryonic matter of arbitrary isotopic composition is calculated including s- and p-wave kaon-baryon interactions. The regular part of the polarization operator is extracted from the realistic kaon-nucleon…
In this talk, we first make some brief comments on the phase-convention dependence of the CP-violating parameter \epsilon_B. A simple framework is then presented for analyzing new physics contributions to B^0-\bar{B}^0 mixing and their…
We review some recent theoretical results on radiative rare kaon decays. Particular attention is devoted to the channels $K\to \pi l\bar{% l}$ and $K\to \pi \pi \gamma$, where we are (or might be) able to extract the short distance…
We present a reanalysis of the allowed region in the $\rho - \eta \,$ plane of the CKM matrix, which follows from our present knowledge of the theoretical and experimental parameters associated with quark mixing and CP violation. Besides…
We discuss the theory prediction of epsilon_K and the rare K -> pi nu nu-bar decays and review the structure and current status of higher-order contributions to these flavour changing processes in the standard model in some detail. This…
We review recent work on the phase structure of QCD at very high baryon density. We introduce the phenomenon of color superconductivity and discuss the use of weak coupling methods. We study the phase structure as a function of the number…
Baryon asymmetry of the universe (BAU) is naturally explained with $K^0-K^{0'}$ oscillations of a newly developed mirror-matter model and new understanding of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) phase transitions. A consistent picture for the…
We point out that a background torsion field will produce an effective potential to the $K$ and $\bar{K}$ with opposite signs. This allows us to constrain the background torsion field from the $K_L$ and $K_S$ mass difference, CPT violating…
We present new measurements of CP-violation parameters in B0 --> phi K0, K+ K- Ks, f0(980) Ks, eta' Ks, omega Ks, Ks pi0, and K*0 gamma (K*0 --> Ks pi0) decays based on a sample of 275 x 10^6 BBbar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S)…
Status of lattice calculations of hadron matrix elements along with CP violation in B and in K systems is reviewed. Lattice has provided useful input which, in conjunction with experimenatl data, leads to the conclusion that CP-odd phase in…
We investigate effects of spontaneous breakdown of CP in $B^0_{d,s}-\overline{B^0}_{d,s}$ systems in left-right symmetric models. Assuming that the left-right contribution to the $B^0-\overline{B^0}$ matrix element $M_{12}$ can be at most…
The Standard Model contains a natural source for CP asymmetries in weak decays, which is described by the KM mechanism. Beyond $\epsilon _K$ it generates only elusive manifestations of CP violation in {\em light-}quark systems. On the other…
We demonstrate how one may identify or constrain possible violation of $CP$, $T$ and $CPT$ symmetries in the $K^0$-$\bar{K^0}$ system in a way as phenomenological and comprehensive as possibie. For this purpose, we first introduce…
Charged and neutral B decays into two charged pions and a charged or a neutral kaon are analyzed within the QCD factorization scheme where final state interactions before and after hadronization are included. The K*(892) and K*(1430)…
The basic feature of the measurement of CPT violation in the neutral kaon system is overviewed beginning with noting the physical implication of CPT violation. After describing $K^0-\bar{K}^0$ system at length, how CPT test is possible is…
We study the early Universe trajectory around the QCD transition in lepton-flavor-asymmetric cases with small total lepton asymmetry ($|\ell|\lesssim 10^{-2}$), while allowing large individual lepton asymmetries. For each temperature, we…
We discuss a class of models in which CP is violated softly in a heavy sector adjoined to the standard model. Heavy-sector loops produce the observed CP violation in kaon physics, yielding a tiny and probably undetectable value for…
