Evidence of CP violation in the charm sector has been observed recently by the LHCb and CDF Collaborations. The issue of whether it can be accommodated within the standard model (SM) is examined in this talk. We conclude that the CP…
Indirect and direct CP violations have been established in K_L and B_d decays. They have been found in two-body decay channels -- with the exception of K_L to pi^+ pi^- e^+ e^- transitions. Evidence for direct CP asymmetry has just appeared…
We investigate to what extent the recently measured value for a non-vanishing direct CP asymmetry in D0 -> K+ K- and D0 -> pi+ pi- decays can be accommodated in the Standard Model (SM) or extensions with a constrained flavour sector, for…
We report updated measurements of indirect and direct CP asymmetry in decays $D^0 \to K^+K^-,\pi^+\pi^-$ and a new measurement of direct and indirect CP asymmetry in decays $D^0 \to \pi^0\pi^0$, using the full data sample of the Belle…
The LHCb Collaboration has recently reported the discovery of direct CP violation in combined $D^0 \to K^+ K^-$ and $D^0 \to \pi^+ \pi^-$ decay modes at the $5.3 \sigma$ level. Assuming U-spin symmetry (i.e., $d \leftrightarrow s$…
The current status of the search for indirect CP violation in the neutral D meson system at the B-factories and at LHCb is reported. The indirect CP asymmetry search is performed by the measurement of the proper-time asymmetry…
The observed D0 - anti-D0 oscillations provide a new stage in our search for New Physics in heavy flavour dynamics. The theoretical verdict on the observed values of x_D and y_D remains ambiguous: while they could be totally generated by…
In this paper we investigate CP violation in charged decays of $D$ meson. Particularly, we study the direct CP asymmetry of the Cabibbo favored non-leptonic $D^+ \rightarrow \bar K^0 \pi^+$ and the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay mode $D^+…
A measurement of direct CP violation in the decay $B^{+} \rightarrow K^{+} \pi^{0}$ is reported using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 $\textrm{fb}^{-1}$, collected with the LHCb experiment at a center-of-mass…
We study the direct CP violation effect in the decay mode $B^+ \to \phi K^+$. This decay mode is dominated by the loop induced $\bar b \to \bar s s \bar s$ penguin diagram with a tiny contribution from annihilation diagram. Therefore, the…
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…
Direct CP violation in the hadronic decays $\Bar{B}^{0} \to \pi^{+}\pi^{-} \pi^{0}$ is investigated near the peak of the $\rho^{0}$ taking into account the effect of $\rho - \omega$ mixing. Branching ratios for processes $B^{\pm,0} \to…
In this paper, we study the Cabibbo favored non-leptonic $D^0$ decays into $K^- \pi^+$ decays. First we show that, within the Standard Model, the corresponding CP asymmetry is strongly suppressed and out of the experimental range even…
Currently there are New Physics hints in mixing-induced CP violation S(phi K0), S(pi0 K0) < S(J/psi K0), unequal direct CP violation A(K+ pi-) differs A(K+ pi0), and maybe even in measured S(J/psi K0) vs prediction from global fit to other…
We point out that, if the direct CP asymmetries in the $D \to \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $D \to K^+ K^-$ decays are unequal, the indirect CP asymmetries as measured in these modes are necessarily unequal. This nonuniversality of indirect CP…
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…
Indirect CP violation in the $D^0$ system can be probed by measuring the parameter $A_{\Gamma}$, defined as the CP asymmetry of the effective lifetime of the $D^0$ meson decaying to a CP eigenstate. This can be significantly enhanced beyond…
The recently measured direct CP asymmetries in the processes $D^0\to \pi^+\pi^-$ and $D^0\to K^+K^-$ show a significant deviation from the naive Standard Model expectation. Using a general parameterization of the decay amplitudes, we show…
CP asymmetries in B_d \to D^+D^-, D^{*+}D^-, D^+D^{*-} and D^{*+}D^{*-} decays are investigated with the help of the factorization approximation and isospin relations. We find that the direct CP violation is governed only by the…
We report a measurement of the \CP\ violating asymmetry in $D^0\to\pi^+\pi^-$ decays using approximately 215,000 decays reconstructed in about $5.94$ fb$^{-1}$ of CDF data. We use the strong $D^{\star +}\to D^0\pi^+$ decay ("$D^{\star}$…
