The decay B0 -> D K*0 and the charge conjugate mode are studied using 1.0fb-1 of pp collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at sqrt(s) = 7TeV in 2011. The CP asymmetry between the B0 -> D K*0 and the B0bar -> D K*0bar decay rates,…
We investigate the exclusive B -> pi e^+ e^- and B -> rho e^+ e^- decays in framework of the general two Higgs doublet model (model III), in which an extra phase angle in the charged--Higgs fermion coupling, i.e., a new source for CP…
The decay bar B -> bar K* (-> bar K pi) l+ l- offers great opportunities to explore the physics at and above the electroweak scale by means of an angular analysis. We investigate the physics potential of the seven CP asymmetries plus the…
The left-right supersymmetric model contains a right-handed gaugino, as well as several higgsinos, in addition to the minimal supersymmetric model. Thus several CP-noninvariant phases appear in this sector. We analyze their impact on…
I present three studies from the LHCb experiment on the subject of direct CP violation in $B^0$ and $B_s$ decays. First, we measure the CP asymmetry in $B^\pm\to\psi K^\pm$ decays, with $\psi=J/\psi, \psi(2S)$, using 0.35 $fb^{-1}$ of $pp$…
At present, there are several measurements of $B$ decays that exhibit discrepancies with the predictions of the SM, and suggest the presence of new physics (NP) in $b \to s \mu^+ \mu^-$ transitions. Many NP models have been proposed as…
A phenomenological analysis of $D\to K\pi$ and $D_s^+\to K K $decays including both Cabibbo-favored and doubly-Cabibbo-suppressed modes have been presented by employing the present experimental data. SU(3) symmetry breaking effects from the…
We derive Standard Model predictions for the CP asymmetries of singly-Cabibbo suppressed $D\rightarrow P\eta'$ decays, where $P=K,\pi,\eta$. Our predictions are based on the approximate SU(3)$_F$ symmetry of QCD and include first-order…
We calculate the direct CP violating asymmetry parameter, $a_{CP}$, for $B \to \pi^{+} \pi^{-} \pi$ and $B \to \pi^{+} \pi^{-} K$ decays, in the case where $\rho^0-\omega$ mixing effects are taken into account. We find that the direct CP…
In this talk, I review the various measurements that have been made over the years of CP-violating observables in $B$ decays. These include indirect CP asymmetries, direct CP asymmetries, and triple products. All are discussed in the…
The recently observed direct CP violation in $B_d \to K^+ \pi^-$ has raised suggestions of possible new physics. A robust test of the standard model vs. new physics is its prediction of equal direct CP violation in $B_s \to K^- \pi^+$…
A direct CP asymmetry in inclusive semileptonic B_(s) decays vanishes by CPT to lowest order in weak interactions. Calculating the asymmetry at second order weak interactions in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa framework we find A_{sl} = (-3.2…
We have calculated the Wilson coefficients $C_{10}, C_{Q_i}$ (i=1,2) in the $\bar{MS}$ renormalization scheme in the model III 2HDM. Using the obtained Wilson coefficients, we have analyzed the CP violation in decays $B^0_q\to l^+l^-$…
With the first evidence of direct CP violation in $D^0 \to K^+K^-/\pi^+\pi^-$ there is a strong reason to probe CP asymmetries in charm baryons in three-body final states $\Lambda_c \to p\pi^+\pi^-/pK^+K^-$ & $\Lambda_c \to pK^+\pi^-$ with…
The decay $K_L\rightarrow \pi^o\nu\overline{\nu}$ is an excellent probe of the nature of CP violation. It is almost entirely CP-violating, and hadronic uncertainties are negligible. Experiments which hope to detect the decay are currently…
Inspired by the unexpectedly large difference between the CP violation of $D$ decays into $K^+K^-$ and $\pi^+\pi^-$, we explore the impact on the extraction of $\gamma$ via the $B\to DK$ process with the $D$ meson reconstructed in the…
In the standard model, CP asymmetries in the $B^\pm \to \pi^\pm K$ channels are about 2% based on perturbative calculation. Rescattering effects might enhance it to at most (20-25)%. We show that lepton-number-violating $\lambda'$ couplings…
Direct CP violation in two-body $D\to PP$ and $D\to V\!P$ decays is studied within the framework of the topological amplitude approach for tree amplitudes and the QCD factorization approach for penguin amplitudes. It is the interference…
Inspired by the recent measurement of $CP$ asymmetry in the individual mode on LHCb, we study $CP$ asymmetry of the $D\to \pi\pi$ system in the isospin and topological analysis. The ratio between penguin and tree amplitudes $P/(T+C)$ in the…
