We review recent suggestions for testing through B decays the flavor structure of CP violation in the Standard Model. Relative signs of CP asymmetries in U-spin related processes can by themselves test the Kobayashi-Maskawa mechanism in a…
The supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model can contain interactions violating the so-called R-parity symmetry. Such couplings would lead to the lepton and/or baryon number violation and modify deeply the phenomenology of…
The CMS collaboration has reported a possible lepton flavour violating (LFV) signal $h\to\mu\tau$. Whereas this does not happen in the standard model (SM), we point out that new physics responsible for this type of decay would, in general,…
Generically, non-Standard-Model particles contribute to processes with order-one charge-parity (CP) violating phases, as CP is not a fundamental symmetry of nature. The exploration of CP violation becomes therefore a sensitive search for…
The tiny neutrino masses can be explained naturally by extending the standard model with right-handed Majorana neutrinos in low-scale seesaw mechanism, and the CP violation effect induced by Majorana phase is interesting and worth studying…
Contrary to the general trend of looking for new physics at energies beyond the current reach of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), this article proposes a strategy to look for light new physics via a meticulous study of well known and…
The top quark is the heaviest known fundamental particle. As it is the only quark that decays without hadronisation, it provides the unique opportunity to probe the properties of bare quarks at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This article…
We investigate CP-violating effects induced by light top partners in composite Higgs theories. We find that sizable contributions to the dipole moments of the light SM quarks and leptons are generically generated at the two-loop level…
We study the anomalous production of a single top quark in association with a Higgs boson at the LHC originating from flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) interactions in $tqg$ and $tqH$ vertices. We derive the discovery potentials and…
The capability of the LHC to study the electromagnetic dipole moments of the top quark is discussed. In particular, the process $pp\to p\gamma\gamma p\to pt\bar{t}p$, which is supposed to be tagged by the forward/backward detectors at the…
In this talk I begin with some general discussion of the history of CP violation, then move on to aspects of a spontaneous CP violation model including the production of new particles at LHC, implications for B decay, generalized Cabibbo…
We compute the CP violation in the decays of heavy electroweak singlet neutrinos, arising from both the one--loop vertex corrections and the wave function mixing. We extend the computation to the supersymmetric version of the model and…
In supersymmetric theories the charged sleptons of different generations may oscillate amongst themselves while they decay. In the case of three generation oscillations, superpartner production at the LHC and NLC may lead to an observable…
The decay $B^0_s\to\mu^+\mu^-$ is a key probe for the search of physics beyond the Standard Model. While the current measurements of the corresponding branching ratio agree with the Standard Model within the uncertainties, significant…
Anomalies in (semi)leptonic $B$-meson decays present interesting patterns that might be revealing the shape of the new physics to come. In order to understand the experimental data, we explore symmetry arguments that lead to the hypothesis…
We consider the prospects for measuring distinctive signatures of the CP-violating phases in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) in light of the limits on sparticle masses from searches at the LHC. We use the…
We calculate the possible CP violating asymmetries for LFV decays mu -> e gamma and tau -> mu gamma. Our predictions depend on the chosen new model independent contribution. The result of measurements of such asymmetries for these decays…
A detailed, model-independent study of CP violation at present and future electron-positron colliders is reported. Firstly, we investigate CP violation effects in $W$ boson and $t$ quark pair production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation and in…
We study effects of CP violation in the associated production of a charged Higgs boson and a top quark at the LHC, $pp \to tH^\pm + X$. We calculate the CP violating asymmetry between the total cross section for $H^+$ and $H^-$ production…
Analytic expressions for the angular distributions of the $b$-quarks associated with single $t$-quark production in $p \bar p \to W^* \to t \bar b \to b \bar b W$ and of the leptons from the subsequent decay $W \to l\nu$ are obtained in the…
