Extra Higgs states appear in various scenarios beyond the current Standard Model of elementary particles. If discovered at the LHC or future colliders, the question will arise whether CP is violated or conserved in the extended scalar…

Recently, the large CP asymmetries in $B^\pm\to\pi^\pm\pi^+\pi^-$ decays were found by the LHCb Collaboration to localize in the region $m_{\pi^+\pi^-}^2<0.4 \text{GeV}^2$. We find such large localized CP asymmetries may be due to the…
We study CP-violation in resonant three-body B -> DPP decays, where PP stands for either Dpi, DK_S, pipi or piK_S. Analogously to the B -> 3pi channel and the extraction of 2alpha, the first three channels are shown to measure cos(2beta) in…
We present a method to measure the weak phase gamma in the three-body decay of charged B mesons to the final states D K pi0. These decays are mediated by interfering amplitudes which are color-allowed and hence relatively large. As a…
