We study the potential to observe CP-violating effects in SUSY cascade decay chains at the LHC. We consider squark and gluino production followed by subsequent decays into neutralinos with a three-body leptonic decay in the final step.…
We study the CP violating effects in the decay of $\eta\to\pi^+\pi^-\gamma$. We show that to have CP violation in the decay, one has to consider both linear and circular photon polarizations. In the standard model, the polarizations are…
CP violation has so far been observed in one system only, namely in the decays of neutral kaons, and it can still be described by a single real quantity corresponding to a superweak scenario. In these lectures I describe why limitations on…
I derive the expressions for the CP-violating asymmetry arising from interference between mixed and direct decays in the Upsilon(4S) system, for the case in which only one of the B decay times is observed, integrating over the decay time of…
The study of CP violation in $B$-meson decays has already reached a high level of precision, which will be pushed even higher in the future era of Belle-II and the LHCb upgrade. %Important probes of CP violation are the $B_d^0$ and $B_s^0$…
The phase convention independent measure of CP violation for three generations of leptons is evaluated at different energy scales. Unlike in the quark sector, this quantity does not vary much between the weak and the grand unification…
We describe a method for measuring CP-violation parameters from which the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa angle $\gamma$ may be extracted. The method makes use of the total decay rates in $B^\pm \to DK^\pm$ decays, where the neutral $D$ meson…
CP violation in top physics is reviewed. The Standard Model has negligible effects, consequently CP violation searches involving the top quark may constitute the best way to look for physics beyond the Standard Model. Non-standard sources…
CP violation in rare leptonic B decays are analyzed in the standard model (SM) and models beyond SM (supersymmetric models and two Higgs doublet models).
In this talk I discuss CP violation in hyperon decays in Left-Right symmetric models. I show that the asymmetry in polarization in $\Lambda \to p\pi^-$ can be as large as $6\times 10^{-4}$ in these models, which is an order of magnitude…
In this paper we consider CP-violating new-physics contributions to the decay $t \to b \bar b c$. We examine the prospects for detecting such new physics at the LHC, which requires studying the process $gg \to t (\to b \bar b c) \bar t (\to…
Precision tests of the Kobayashi-Maskawa model of CP violation are discussed, pointing out possible signatures for other sources of CP violation and for new flavor-changing operators. The current status of the most accurate tests is…
Some experimental tests are suggested for possible CP-violations for decays of $B^\pm$ bosons. Especially, a detailed comparison of decays $B^+ \rightarrow D^0 \pi^+ \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $B^- \rightarrow \overline{D^0} \pi^- \pi^- \pi^+$ will…
A first study of CP violation in the decay modes $B^\pm\to [K^0_{\rm S} K^\pm \pi^\mp]_D h^\pm$ and $B^\pm\to [K^0_{\rm S} K^\mp \pi^\pm]_D h^\pm$, where $h$ labels a $K$ or $\pi$ meson and $D$ labels a $D^0$ or $\overline{D}^0$ meson, is…
The present status of CP violation in decays of neutral kaons is reviewed. In addition selected rare decays of both K and B mesons are discussed. The emphasis is in particular on observables that can be reliably calculated and thus offer…
CP-violating effects in decays of B mesons offer a wide spectrum of probes for testing the phase structure of the quark-flavour sector of the Standard Model. After a brief discussion of the picture emerging from the current LHC data, the…
Employing an effective formalism for decaying system we are able to investigate Heisenberg's uncertainty relation for observables measured at accelerator facilities. In particular we investigate the neutral K--meson system and show that,…
We study CP violation in $J/\psi \rightarrow \Lambda \bar{\Lambda}$ decay. This decay provides a good place to look for CP violation. Some observables are very sensitive to the $\Lambda$ electric dipole moment $d_\Lambda$ and therefore can…
I present three studies from the LHCb experiment on the subject of direct CP violation in $B^0$ and $B_s$ decays. First, we measure the CP asymmetry in $B^\pm\to\psi K^\pm$ decays, with $\psi=J/\psi, \psi(2S)$, using 0.35 $fb^{-1}$ of $pp$…
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…
