We present a measurement of the time-dependent CP asymmetry for the neutral B-meson decay B0 --> Phi K0. We use a sample of approximately 114 million B-meson pairs taken at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II…
Discrete symmetry violation in the weak interaction is central to the Standard Model of particle physics, however the origin of these violations is not well understood. Nor are we able to provide a satisfactory explanation of the Universal…
Recent measurements of observables sensitive to CPT, T and CP violation in neutral B meson mixing by the B-factory experiments Belle and BaBar are presented.
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…
In this review we first discuss the theoretical motivations for possible CPT violation and deviations from ordinary quantum-mechanical behavior of field-theoretic systems in the context of an extended class of quantum-gravity models. Then…
CP violation in $B$ decays is reviewed in the Standard Model (SM) and beyond the SM. The present explanation of CP violation in terms of a phase in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix can be tested through a variety of CP asymmetries…
We have searched for CP-violating asymmetries in neutral charm meson decays in 13.7 fb^-1 of e^+e^- collision data at sqrt{s} = 10.6 GeV with the CLEO detector. The measured asymmetries in the rate of D0 and D0bar decays to K0sPi0, Pi0Pi0…
Using events in which one of two neutral B mesons from the decay of an Y(4S) meson is fully reconstructed, we determine parameters governing decay (\Delta\Gamma_d/\Gamma_d), CP and T violation (|q/p|), and CP and CPT violation (Rez,Imz).…
We search for CP violation in neutral charm meson decays using a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 966 fb^-1 collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- asymmetric-energy collider. The asymmetry obtained in the rate of D^0…
Neutral flavour meson oscillations are a fascinating quantum phenomenon that allows for high-precision tests of fundamental symmetries, including CPT invariance. In this contribution, we present the methodology for testing CPT violation in…
I review the predictions and expectations of the CKM model for CP violation in both the $K^0-\bar K^0$ and $B^0-\bar B^0$ systems. A brief discussion of CP violation in charged $K$- and $B$-decays is also included, as well as some remarks…
We present a pedagogical review of the phenomenology of CP violation, with emphasis on B decays. Main topics include the phenomenology of neutral meson systems, CP violation in the Standard Model of electroweak interactions, and B decays.…
We present measurements of the time-dependent CP-violation parameters S and C in the decays omega K0S, eta'K0, reconstructed as eta'K0S and eta'K0L, and pi0K0S. The data sample corresponds to the full BABAR dataset of 467 x 10^6 BB pairs…
We present a systematic phenomenological analysis of the tests of CPT symmetry that are possible within an {\em open} quantum-mechanical description of the neutral kaon system that is motivated by arguments based on quantum gravity and…
In the standard model the rate of the $\pi^0, \eta, \eta', K_S, K_L\to \nu \overline{\nu}$ decays is predicted to be extremely small. Therefore, observation of any of these mesons ($M^0$) decaying into an invisible final state would signal…
We consider the decay B0(t) -> hyperon + antihyperon, followed by hyperon weak decay. We show that parity violation in the latter allows to reach new CP observables: not only Im(lambda_f) but also Re(lambda_f) can be measured. In the decay…
Recent LHCb data for time-dependent CP violation in $B_d^0 \to \pi^+\pi^-$ and $B^0_s\to K^+K^-$ show deviations from theoretical predictions. Besides their central values for $\mathcal C_{K^+K^-}$, $\mathcal S_{K^+K^-}$ and $\mathcal…
We report a measurement of the time-dependent CP asymmetry of B0->D(*)CP h0 decays, where the light neutral hadron h0 is a pi0, eta or omega meson, and the neutral D meson is reconstructed in the CP eigenstates K+ K-, K0S pi0 or K0S omega.…
Although CP violation was discovered more than thirty years ago, its origin is still unknown. In these lectures, we describe the CP-violating effects which have been seen in K decays, and explain how CP violation can be caused by the…
We discuss how a possible violation of the combined symmetry CPT in the B meson system can be investigated at the LHC. We show how a tagged and an untagged analysis of the decay modes of both B(d) and B(s) mesons can lead not only to a…
