We study the decays B- --> D*0 pi- and B- --> D*0 K-, where the D*0 decays into D0 pi0, with the D0 reconstructed in the CP-even (CP+) eigenstates K- K+ and pi- pi+ and in the (non-CP) channels K- pi+, K- pi+ pi+ pi-, and K- pi+ pi0. Using…

In perturbative QCD approach, based on the first order of isospin symmetry breaking, we study the direct $CP$ violation in the decay of $\bar{B}_s^0\to\rho(\omega )K^{*0}\to {\pi^+}{\pi^-}K^{*0}$. An interesting mechanism is applied to…

We describe a measurement of the direct CP asymmetry between inclusive b -> s gamma and bbar -> sbar gamma decays. This asymmetry is expected to be less than 0.01 in the Standard Model, but could be enhanced up to about 0.10 by new physics…
