Direct CP violation in charmless three-body hadronic decays of $B$ mesons is studied within the framework of a simple model based on the factorization approach. Three-body decays of heavy mesons receive both resonant and nonresonant…
The LHCb collaboration has recently measured the first direct CP violation in $B^0_s$ decays with a rate asymmetry $A_{CP}(B^0_s\to K^- \pi^+)$ given by $0.27 \pm 0.04(stat)\pm 0.01(syst)$. At the same time they also made the most precise…
We report a study of B -> D*K decays with D* decaying to D pi0 or D gamma, using 383 * 10**6 B Bbar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BaBar detector at the SLAC PEP-II B-Factory. The D meson decays under study include a…
$CP$ violation asymmetry is expected to be very small within the Standard Model. Observation of $CP$ violation in charm sector would hint towards New Physics. Time-reversal asymmetry is sensitive to $CPV$ via the $CPT$ Theorem, and is a…
We discuss the perturbative QCD approach for exclusive non-leptonic two body B-meson decays. We briefly review its ingredients and some important theoretical issues related to the factorization approach. PQCD results are compatible with…
The charm quark offers interesting opportunities to cross-check the mechanism of CP violation precisely tested in the strange and beauty sectors. In this paper, we exploit the angular and quantum correlations in the D\bar{D} pairs produced…
We investigate the effect of the dimuon CP asymmetry from the B decay modes, recently observed at 3.2 sigma deviation from the Standard Model (SM) by the D0 collaboration, in the context of SU(5) and SO(10) GUT models. We exhibit that a…
Branching fractions and CP-violating asymmetries of charmless $\bar B_s\to PP, VP, VV$ decays (P and V denoting pseudoscalar and vector mesons, respectively) are re-examined in the framework of QCD factorization (QCDF). We take into account…
An increasing number of experimental measurements from the BESIII, Belle, and Belle-II collaborations encourage investigations into charmed baryon two-body decay processes. By including contributions from the penguin diagrams that are…
We consider charmless weak decays of beauty-baryons into decuplet baryons and pseudoscalar mesons in a general framework based on $SU(3)$-flavor decomposition of the decay amplitudes. The dynamical assumption independent $SU(3)$ analysis…
In view of the recent LHCb measurement of Delta A_CP, the difference between the time-integrated CP asymmetries in D --> K+K- and D --> pi+pi- decays, we perform a comparative study of the possible impact of New Physics degrees of freedom…
Rare decays of B and K mesons and CP violations thereof are considered in SUSY models with S_3^3 flavor symmetry. SUSY contributions to epsilon_K and epsilon'/epsilon_K can be large, but not to B0 - B0 bar mixing because of strong…
We propose for the first time a method to perform analysis of time-dependent CP asymmetries in charm by using both, correlated and un-correlated $D^0$ mesons. Here we consider the decay channels $D^0\to K^+ K^-$ and $D^0\to \pi^+ \pi^-$.…
The role of penguin amplitudes in CP violating $B$ decays is reviewed, emphasizing recent progress in the analysis of electroweak penguin contributions. It is shown how these terms are included in a model-independent manner when measuring…
An analysis of the CP violating asymmetry in $K^\pm \to (3\pi)^\pm$ decays in the Standard Model and, by means of the mass insertion approximation, in a wide class of possible supersymmetric extensions, is presented. We find that the…
Direct CP violation in two-body $D\to PP$ and $D\to V\!P$ decays is studied within the framework of the topological amplitude approach for tree amplitudes and the QCD factorization approach for penguin amplitudes. It is the interference…
Charmless B decay modes $B \to \pi \pi, \pi K$ and $KK$ aresystematically investigated with and without flavor SU(3) symmetry. Independent analyses on $\pi \pi$ and $\pi K$ modes both favor a large ratio between color-suppressed tree ($C$)…
It is suggested that a nearby $0^{++}$ resonance, $f_0$(1710) of mass $m_f=1723 MeV$ and width $\Gamma=139$ MeV is playing a significant role in efficiently providing the strong (CP-conserving) and weak (CP-odd) phase simultaneously in the…
CP violation in $B$ decays is reviewed in the Standard Model (SM) and beyond the SM. The present explanation of CP violation in terms of a phase in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix can be tested through a variety of CP asymmetries…
Motivated by the significant experimental progress in probing semileptonic decays $D\to P_1P_2\ell^+\nu_\ell~(\ell=\mu,e)$, we analyze the branching ratios of the $D\to P_1P_2\ell^+\nu_\ell $ decays with the non-resonant, the light scalar…
