The KOTO experiment aims to discover the rare decay $K^{0}_{L}\rightarrow \pi^{0} \nu \bar{\nu}$ at J-PARC. This mode breaks the CP symmetry directly and is highly suppressed in the Standard Model. Thus the mode is sensitive to new physics,…

A search for $CP$ violation using $T$-odd correlations is performed using the four-body $D^0 \to K^+K^-\pi^+\pi^-$ decay, selected from semileptonic $B$ decays. The data sample corresponds to integrated luminosities of $1.0\,\text{fb}^{-1}$…
