We explore charged-Higgs cp-violating effects in a specific type III two-Higgs doublet model which is theoretically attractive as it accommodates the large mass of the top quark in a natural fashion. Two new CP-violating phases arise from…
Supersymmetric loop contributions can lead to different decay rates of H+\to t\bar b and H-\to b\bar t. We calculate the decay rate asymmetry \delta^CP = \frac{\Gamma(H+\to t\bar b)-\Gamma(H-\to b\bar t)}{{\Gamma(H+\to t\bar b)+\Gamma(H-\to…
The di-photon decay channel of the lightest Higgs boson is considerd as a probe to explore CP violation in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). The scalar/pseudo-scalar mixing is considered along with CP violation entering…
We investigate CP violating 2 Higgs doublet models as an effective theory emerging from models with an $SU(3)_L \otimes U(1)_X$ gauge symmetry. Because of the extension of the electroweak symmetry, a characteristic structure of Yukawa…
The study of CP violation in $B$-meson decays has already reached a high level of precision, which will be pushed even higher in the future era of Belle-II and the LHCb upgrade. %Important probes of CP violation are the $B_d^0$ and $B_s^0$…
The status of CP violation and the CKM matrix is reviewed. Direct CP violation in B decay has been established and the measurement of sin(2beta) in \psi K modes reached 5% accuracy. I discuss the implications of these, and of the possible…
If CP violation in the decays of neutral kaons is due to phases in the weak couplings of quarks, as encoded in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix, there are many other experimental consequences. Notable among these are CP-violating…
We explore the possibility of using CP violation in B decays to detect the presence of physics beyond the Standard Model. We first study the possibility of new physics in the $B-\bar B$ mixing amplitude. We discuss a construction to extract…
We find in theories with spontaneous P and CP violation that symmetries needed to set the tree level strong CP phase to zero can also set all non-zero tree level CP violating phases to the maximal value \pi / 2 in the symmetry basis…
In a class of new physics models, an extended Higgs sector and new CP-violating sources are simultaneously present in order to explain the baryon asymmetry in the Universe. The aim of this work is to study the implications of beyond the…
The recently reported measurements of the CP asymmetry a(psi K) by the BABAR and BELLE collaborations are in good agreement with the standard model prediction. With the anticipated precision in a(psi K) at the B factories and hadron…
The CP-violating MSSM allows existence of a light neutral Higgs boson ($M_{H_1} \lapp 50$ GeV) in the CPX scenario in the low $\tan \beta (\lapp 5)$ region, which could have escaped the LEP searches due to a strongly suppressed $H_1 Z Z$…
We briefly review the question of spontaneous CP violation in some models of weak interactions. The next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model, with two Higgs doublets and one gauge singlet, is one of the minimal extensions of the…
The explicit CP violation in the MSSM radiatively induces a finite unremovable alignment between the Higgs doublets. This additinal phase can be as large as the original CP phases in certain portions of the MSSM parameter space. Considering…
The minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model (MSSM) is extended to the $U(1)_X$SSM, whose local gauge group is $SU(3)_C \times SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y \times U(1)_X$. To obtain the $U(1)_X$SSM, we add the new superfields to the…
New CP violating phases in the MSSM can affect both the abundance and detection of neutralino dark matter. We discuss the effect of including cosmological constraints in the limits on new sources of CP violation in the MSSM and the effects…
CP violation in rare leptonic B decays are analyzed in the standard model (SM) and models beyond SM (supersymmetric models and two Higgs doublet models).
We analyse the impact of explicit CP-violation in the Higgs sector of the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) on its consistency with the Higgs boson data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Through detailed scans of the…
I review CP violation in the standard model (SM). I also describe the predictions for CP violation in the B system, along with signals for physics beyond the SM. I stress the numerous contributions of Pat O'Donnell to this subject. Finally,…
Motivated by the recent determination of the top quark mass by the CDF collaboration, $\mt =174 \pm 10 ^{+13}_{-12}$ GeV, we review and update the constraints on the parameters of the quark flavour mixing matrix $V_{CKM}$ in the standard…
