Charm CP violation is a unique gate to the physics of up-type quarks and allows searches for physics beyond the Standard Model in new and exciting ways, complementary to kaon and $b$ decays. We review recent advances, focusing on…
CP violation (CPV) in the baryon sectors has not yet been established experimentally. In this work, we propose to search for the hyperon CPV through the Cabibbo-favored charm-baryon decaying processes involving a hyperon in the final…

The latest results from studies of $b$ hadron decays to open charm final states at the LHCb experiment are presented. The results include measurements of $CP$ violation and the properties of $b$ baryons.
Although CP violation was discovered more than thirty years ago, its origin is still unknown. In these lectures, we describe the CP-violating effects which have been seen in K decays, and explain how CP violation can be caused by the…
We review recent experimental results on D0 -D0bar mixing and CP violation charm decays. These studies provide complementary constraints on many different extensions of the Standard Model. Observation of CP violation in charm decays at the…
CP-violating asymmetries in charm provide a unique probe of physics beyond the Standard Model. I review several topics relevant to searches for CP-violation in charmed meson and baryon transitions.
The most recent results on CP violation in $b$ hadrons obtained by the LHCb Collaboration with Run I and years 2015-2016 of Run II are reviewed. The different types of violation are covered by the studies presented in this paper.
With the first evidence of direct CP violation in $D^0 \to K^+K^-/\pi^+\pi^-$ there is a strong reason to probe CP asymmetries in charm baryons in three-body final states $\Lambda_c \to p\pi^+\pi^-/pK^+K^-$ & $\Lambda_c \to pK^+\pi^-$ with…
Very recently, the LHCb Collaboration observed the $CP$ violation (CPV) in the charm sector for the first time, with $\Delta A_{CP}^{\rm dir}\equiv A_{CP}(D^0\to K^+K^-)-A_{CP}(D^0\to \pi^+\pi^-)=(-1.54\pm0.29)\times10^{-3}$. This result is…

We review and update the constraints on the parameters of the quark flavour mixing matrix $V_{CKM}$ in the standard model and estimate the resulting CP asymmetries in $B$ decays, taking into account recent experimental and theoretical…

The $B_s^0-\bar{B}_s^0$ system can be used to look for new sources of CP violation. Time-dependent CP violation measurements of beauty mesons allow the determination of the mixing induced CP-violating phase, $\phi_s$. The angular analysis…
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 $pp$…
In this decade, there are huge efforts to explore B-meson decays, which provide an interesting playground for stringent tests of the Standard-Model description of the quark-flavour sector and the CP violation residing there. Thanks to the…
