The LHCb and CDF collaborations reported a surprisingly large difference between the direct CP asymmetries, Delta A_CP, in the D0 -> K+ K- and D0 -> pi+ pi- decay modes. We show that this measurement can be plausibly explained within the…

Direct CP asymmetry in semi-leptonic $\tau$ decays is an intriguing hint for new physics beyond the standard model. We investigate the CP asymmetry in $\tau^- \to K_S^0 \pi^- \nu_\tau$ and $\tau^- \to K^- \pi^0 \nu_\tau$ decays in…

CP violation from physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) is investigated in the Cabbibo-suppressed decay $\tau\to K\pi\nu_{\tau}$ with polarized $\tau$ leptons, to which both the ${\rm J}^{P}=1^-$ resonance $K^*$ and the $ J^{P}=0^+$…

The near equality between the measured value for $|V_{ub}|/|V_{cb}|$ and its unitarity triangle lower bound from $\sin 2\beta$ measurements suggests that $\alpha \approx 90^{\circ}$ and $\sin\gamma \approx \cos\beta = 0.91$ and a large…

We analyze various theoretical aspects of CP violation in singly Cabibbo suppressed (SCS) D-meson decays, such as $D \to K K,\pi \pi$. In particular, we explore the possibility that CP asymmetries will be measured close to the present level…

We discuss several aspects of direct CP asymmetries in B decays, which are very useful in spite of hadronic uncertainties in asymmetry calculations. 1) Asymmetries in decays to $D^{(*)}K^{(*)}$, $\pi^+\pi^-, \rho^+\rho^-$, providing…

A measurement of direct CP violation in the decay $B^{+} \rightarrow K^{+} \pi^{0}$ is reported using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 $\textrm{fb}^{-1}$, collected with the LHCb experiment at a center-of-mass…

We introduce the new resonance of $V\rightarrow K^{+}K^{-}$ $(V=\phi, \rho, \omega)$, which produces some new strong phase associated with vector meson resonance and thus can cause relatively large CP asymmetry at the range of…

A high statistics sample of photoproduced charm particles from the FOCUS (E831) experiment at Fermilab has been used to search for CP violation in the Cabibbo suppressed decay modes D+ to K-K+pi+, D0 to K-K+ and D0 to pi-pi+. We have…

The CP asymmetry in inclusive B->X_{s,d}+gamma decays is an important probe of new physics. The theoretical prediction was thought to be of a perturbative origin, and in the standard model, to be about 0.5 percent. In a recent work with M.…

We search for CP violation in a sample of 20000 Cabibbo-suppressed decays, $D^+\rightarrow K^+K^0_S\pi^+\pi^-$, and 30000 Cabibbo-favored decays, $D_s^+\rightarrow K^+K^0_S\pi^+\pi^-$. We use 520 $fb^{-1}$ of data recorded by the BaBar…

Using 385 fb^-1 of e^+e^- collision data collected at center-of-mass energies around 10.6 GeV, we search for time-integrated CP violation in the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decays D0/D0bar --> pi^- pi^+ pi^0 and D0/D0bar --> K^- K^+ pi^0. Our…

Recent experimental limits for the direct CP asymmetries in $B^0 \to K^+ \pi^-$, $B^+ \to K^+ \pi^0$, $B^+ \to K^0 \pi^+$, and $B^0 \to \pi^+ \pi^-$, and for the indirect CP asymmetry in $B^0 \to \pi^+ \pi^-$, are combined with information…
