Large $CP$-violating asymmetry effects in the B+- --> K+ K- K decays have been predicted in the QCD factorization model. The model includes strong K+ K- final-state long-distance interactions in the S-, P-, and also (in the recent analysis)…
We report an improved measurement of direct CP violation in the decay B0 --> K+pi-, and a search for CP violation in the decays B+ --> K+pi0 and B+ --> pi+pi0. The measured CP violating asymmetries are…
The CP-violating asymmetries in the exclusive decay B->K^*l^+l^- (l=e,mu,tau) are predicted to be exceedingly small in the standard model (SM), thereby offering an opportunity to assess various new-physics scenarios. We derive quantitative…
I report a recent study done in collaboration with M.E. Peskin, on the time dependence of a kaon beam propagating according to a generalization of quantum mechanics due to Ellis, Hagelin, Nanopoulos and Srednicki, in which CP- and…
We have recently shown that the large direct CP violation observed in the decay B^0 -> pi^+ pi^-, and the enhanced branching ratio for B^0 -> pi^0 pi^0, can be understood by invoking a small mixing of the pi pi system with the dominant D…
The NA48/2 experiment at CERN collected a large sample of charged kaon decays into final states with multiple charged particles in 2003--2004. A new upper limit on the rate of the lepton number violating decay…
Brief overview of the present status on mixing and CP violation in kaons and B mesons is given by means of the unitarity triangle. Theoretical predictions on epsilon'/epsilon are confronted with experimental results. The prospects of…
This work presents the first detailed numerical predictions of CP violation in antitriplet charmed baryon decays. Adopting the flavor $SU(3)_F$ symmetry and the final state re-scattering framework, we relate the CKM-suppressed amplitudes to…
The decays K_{L,S} -> \pi^o \pi^o \nu \bar{\nu} and K_{L,S} -> \pi^+ \pi^- \nu \bar{\nu} involve the weak transition from a strange to a non-strange quark. Although they have considerably smaller branching ratios than those for the…
We review the historical developments leading to the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) quark mixing matrix. Present status of the CKM matrix from direct measurements is summarized, giving also the present profile of the unitarity triangle. CP…
Status of lattice calculations of hadron matrix elements along with CP violation in B and in K systems is reviewed. Lattice has provided useful input which, in conjunction with experimenatl data, leads to the conclusion that CP-odd phase in…
We review basic aspects of the phenomenology of CP violation in the decays of $K$ and $B$ mesons. In particular we discuss the commonly used classification of CP violation -- CP violation in the mass matrix, in the interference of mixing…
It is expected that, within the next three years, the determination of the CKM matrix elements with the least theoretical uncertainty will arise from the measurements of CP violation in B_d --> J/\psi K_S decays and from Bs-Bsbar mixing. If…
In this proceeding, results of searches for CP violation in charm decays using the full BABAR dataset are discussed. The parameter $A_{CP}$ in the decay $D^\pm\to\KS\pi^\pm$ is determined to be $(-0.39 \pm 0.13 \pm 0.10)%$. Meaurements of…
Recently, the LHCb Collaboration achieved the observation of CP violation (CPV) in baryon decays through the process of $\Lambda_b^0\to pK^-\pi^+\pi^-$, reporting an asymmetry of $(2.45\pm0.46\pm0.10)\%$ with a significance of 5.2$\sigma$.…
It is a long-standing puzzle why the {\it CP} violation (CPV) in the baryon system has not yet been definitively established as in the meson one. We demonstrate that individual partial-wave CPV in the $\Lambda_b\to p\pi^-$ and $pK^-$ decays…
We study the pion decays with intermediate on-shell neutrinos $N$ into two electrons and a muon, $\pi^{\pm} \to e^{\pm} N \to e^{\pm} e^{\pm} \mu^{\mp} \nu$. We investigate the branching ratios ${\rm Br}_{\pm} = [\Gamma(\pi^- \to e^- e^-…
We analyse the low-energy phenomenology of alignment models both model-independently and within supersymmetric (SUSY) scenarios focusing on their CP violation tests at LHCII. Assuming that New Physics (NP) contributes to K-Kbar and D-Dbar…
The decay $K_S \to (\mu^+\mu^-)_{\ell=0}$, with the final muon pair in an angular-momentum zero state, is a sensitive probe of short-distance physics. It has recently been shown how to extract this branching ratio from neutral kaon decay…
