Recently, the LHCb and CDF collaborations reported the measure of an unexpectedly large direct CP asymmetry in D meson decays. In this paper we ask if new physics associated with Partial Compositeness could plausibly explain this result. We…
We present a preliminary measurement of the time-dependent CP asymmetry for the neutral B-meson decay into the CP = +1 final state KS pi0 pi0, with KS-> pi+ pi- and pi0-> gamma gamma. We use a sample of approximately 227 million B-meson…

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…
We present the most recent set of world averages for D0-D0bar mixing and CP violation parameters, as obtained by the Heavy Flavor Averaging Group from a global fit to various measurements. The values obtained for the mixing parameters when…
Evidence of CP violation in the charm sector has been observed recently by the LHCb and CDF Collaborations. The issue of whether it can be accommodated within the standard model (SM) is examined in this talk. We conclude that the CP…

Recently, LHCb experiment announced a 3.5$\sigma$ evidence for direct CP violation in $D^0$ decay by looking at the difference between $A_{CP}(D^0\rightarrow K^+K^-)$ and $A_{CP}(D^0\rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-)$. This is the first evidence of CP…
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…
A search for $CP$ violation in charmless four-body decays of $\Lambda_b$ and $\Xi_b^0$ baryons with a proton and three charged mesons in the final state is performed. To cancel out production and detection charge-asymmetry effects, the…
We report on measurements of time-dependent CP-violation asymmetries in neutral B meson decays to charmonium and charm final states. The results are obtained from a data sample of 467+/-5 million Y(4S)->BBbar decays collected with the BaBar…
We determine the MS-bar charm quark mass from a charmonium QCD sum rules analysis. On the theoretical side we use input from perturbation theory at O(alpha_s^3). Improvements with respect to previous O(alpha_s^3) analyses include (1) an…
We find a new $CP$-violation effect in charm decays into neutral kaons, which results from the interference between two tree (Cabibbo-favored and doubly Cabibbo-suppressed) amplitudes with the mixing of final-state mesons. This effect,…
Studies of charm physics with the 2010 LHCb data sample are presented. Time-integrated searches for CP violation in D+ -> K- K+ pi+ and D0 -> K- K+, pi- pi+ are discussed.
We summarize recent results for charm physics. These results span several categories: charm mixing, indirect (time-dependent) CP violation, direct (time-integrated) CP violation, T violation, semileptonic and leptonic decays, and decays of…
Motivated by the very important discovery of CP violation in charm-decays for the first time, by the LHCb collaboration, the role of nearby resonances such as the scalar $f_0(1710)$ in accounting for the observed CP is discussed. It is…
Using the full data sample collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider, we present CP violation in charm decays. The $D^0-\bar{D}^0$ mixing parameter $y_{CP}$ and indirect CP violation parameter…
Charge Parity asymmetry in charmless B meson decays is a key issue to be understood. Many theoretical calculations have been performed using short distance factorization approaches which, in general, do not take into account the CPT…
