We describe in detail a previously published measurement of CP violation induced by B0-anti B0 oscillations, based on an integrated luminosity of 425.7 fb-1 collected by the BABAR experiment at the PEPII collider. We apply a novel technique…
$B$ flavor tagging will be extensively studied at the asymmetric $B$ factories due to its importance in CP asymmetry measurements. The primary tagging modes are the semileptonic decays of the $b$ (lepton tag), or the hadronic $b \to c (\to…
CP violation from physics beyond the Standard Model is investigated in $B_{l4}$ decays: $B\to D\pi l\bar{\nu}_l$. The semileptonic $B$-meson decay to a $D$-meson with an emission of single pion is analyzed with heavy quark effective theory…
We measure the dimuon charge asymmetry A in pp(bar) collisions at a center of mass energy sqrt{s} = 1960 GeV. The data was recorded with the D0 detector and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of approximately 1.0 fb-1. Assuming that…
The Fermilab Tevatron Collider is currently the most copious source of b-hadrons, thanks to the large b-bbar production cross-section in 1.96 TeV ppbar collisions. Recent detector upgrades allow for a wide range of CP violation and…
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…
We discuss the usefulness of the CP violating semi-leptonic asymmetry a_{SL} not only as a signal of new physics, but also as a tool in constraining the CKM parameters. We show that this technique could yield useful results in the first…
We report final measurements of direct $\mathit{CP}$--violating asymmetries in charmless decays of neutral bottom hadrons to pairs of charged hadrons with the upgraded Collider Detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. Using the complete…
Standard Model predictions of the CP violation in the mixing of B0d and B0s mesons are beyond the present experimental sensitivity, any observation would be therefore a hint of new physics. The D0 collaboration measures a value of the…
Recent evidence for a CP violating asymmetry in the semileptonic decays of B_s mesons cannot be accommodated within the Standard Model. Such an asymmetry can be explained by new physics contributions to Delta B=2 components of either the…
In top-pair events where at least one of the tops decays semi-leptonically, the identification of the lepton charge allows to tag not only the top charge but also that of the subsequent b quark. In cases where the b also decays…
In a previous publication we noted that the time dependence of an incoherent $B^0-\bar{B}^0$ mixture undergoes a qualitative change when the magnitude of CP violation $\delta$ exceeds a critical value. Requiring, on physical grounds, that…
We present the latest B physics results from the CDF experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. We focus on a number of analyses, including a measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry of B -> K^(*) mu mu decays, determination of the…
Top pair events provide a source of $b\bar{b}$ pairs, which can be used to probe CP violation in heavy-flavour mixing and decay. In events where one of the $W$ bosons decays leptonically to an electron or muon, the charge of the $W$ boson…
We present a measurement of the direct CP-violating charge asymmetry in B^+/- mesons decaying to J/psi K^+/- and J/psi pi^+/- where J/psi decays to mu^+ mu^-, using the full Run II data set of 10.4 fb^-1 of proton-antiproton collisions…
We present an updated measurement of time-dependent CP-violating asymmetries in neutral B decays with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B Factory at SLAC. This result uses an additional sample of Upsilon(4S) decays collected in…
The D\O\ collaboration has measured the like-sign dimuon charge asymmetry in $p \bar{p}$ collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The result is significantly different from the standard model expectation of CP violation in mixing. In…
Recent experimental searches for $A_{SL}$, the CP asymmetry in semileptonic B decay, have reached an accuracy of order one percent. Consequently, they give meaningful constraints on new physics. We find that cancellations between the…
We review the information on the CKM matrix elements, unitarity triangle and CP-violating phases $\alpha, \beta$ and $\gamma$ in the standard model which will be measured in the forthcoming experiments at B factories, HERA-B and hadron…
I show that the CP-violating asymmetry in K^0 vs \bar{K}^0 \to \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0 decays differs from that in K_L \to \pi^+\pi^-, K_L \to \pi^0\pi^0 or the semileptonic K_L transitions, if there exists CPT violation in K^0-\bar{K}^0 mixing. A…
