CP violation in the charm sector is highly sensitive to new physics due to its small predicted value within the standard model. By this work, we investigated the CP violation in the cascade decay process $D^0(t_1) \to \pi^0 K(t_2) \to…
Measurements of $CP$ asymmetry in charmless $B\to PV$ decays are presented, where $P$ and $V$ denote a pseudoscalar and a vector meson, respectively. Five different $B\to PV$ decays from four final states, $B^\pm \to \pi^\pm \pi^+ \pi^-$,…
We point out that dynamics known from the observed CP violation in $K_L\to \pi^{\mp}l^{\pm}\nu$ generate a CP asymmetry of $3.3\cdot 10^{-3}$ in $\tau^{\pm} \to \nu K_L\pi^{\pm}$. CPT invariance requires the same asymmetry in the more…

A model-independent search for direct CP violation in the Cabibbo suppressed decay $D^+ \to K^- K^+\pi^+$ in a sample of approximately 370,000 decays is carried out. The data were collected by the LHCb experiment in 2010 and correspond to…
We analyze the asymmetry in the partial widths for the decays $B^{\pm} \to M {\bar M} \pi^{\pm}$ ($ M = \pi^+, K ^+, \pi^0, \eta$), which results from the interference of the nonresonant decay amplitude with the resonant amplitude for…
Four topics in theory of CP violation are reviewed. (a) CP violation in $B$ decays: We describe a new clean way of constraining the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle and how new CP violation in decay amplitudes can signal new…
The decay amplitude analyses of $B^\pm\to \pi^+ \pi^-\pi^\pm$ decays in the Dalitz plot performed by LHCb indicate that CP asymmetry for the dominant quasi-two-body decay $B^\pm\to\rho(770)^0\pi^\pm$ was found to be consistent with zero in…
