Direct CP violation in two-body $D\to PP$ and $D\to V\!P$ decays is studied within the framework of the topological amplitude approach for tree amplitudes and the QCD factorization approach for penguin amplitudes. It is the interference…

We point out that the CP asymmetries in the decays $D^0\rightarrow K_{S} K^{*0}$ and $D^0\rightarrow K_{S} \overline{K}{}^{*0}$ are potential discovery channels for charm CP violation in the Standard Model. We stress that no flavor tagging…

We re-examine direct CP violation in the quasi-two-body $D\to V\!P$ decays and study CP asymmetries in three-body $D$ decays proceeding through intermediate vector resonances within the framework of the topological amplitude approach for…

The LHCb and CDF Collaborations have recently reported evidence for a CP asymmetry around -0.7% in $\Delta A_{CP}$, the difference between $A_{CP}(D^0 \to K^+ K^-)$ and $A_{CP}(D^0 \to \pi^+\pi^-)$. In the Standard Model this effect may be…

LHCb, CDF and most recently Belle have observed a large difference between direct CP asymmetries in $D^0\to K^+K^-$ and $D^0\to\pi^+\pi^-$. We use the measured value of $\Delta A_{CP}$ to constrain the magnitude and strong phase of a…

I discuss hadronic decays of $D$ mesons with emphasis on the recent discovery of charm CP violation in $D^0\to K^+K^-,\pi^+\pi^-$ decays. The measured difference $\Delta a_{CP} \, \equiv \; a_{CP}^{\mathrm{dir}}(D^0\rightarrow K^+K^-) -…

This talk addresses two topics related to CP asymmetries in $D$ meson decays to two pseudoscalar mesons. First I discuss how new physics can be distinguished from the Standard Model through two sum rules relating three direct CP asymmetries…

We investigate the possibility of observing the direct CP violation in the decay modes $B^- \to D^0 D_s^-$ and $D^0 D^-$ within the Standard Model. Including the contributions arising from the tree, annihilation, QCD as well as electroweak…

Direct CP violation in the hadronic charm decays provides a good testing ground for the Kobayashi-Maskawa mechanism in the Standard Model. Any significant deviations from the expectation would be indirect evidence of physics beyond the…

The LHCb collaboration has recently reported the first observation of CP violation in the penguin-dominated $B^0_s\to K^-K^+$ decay and further new measurements, indicating differences between the direct CP asymmetries of both the $B^0_s\to…

We study the direct CP violation effect in the decay mode $B^+ \to \phi K^+$. This decay mode is dominated by the loop induced $\bar b \to \bar s s \bar s$ penguin diagram with a tiny contribution from annihilation diagram. Therefore, the…

Within the Standard Model, we investigate the CP violations and the $K_S^0-K_L^0$ asymmetries in $D^{\pm}\rightarrow K^{\ast}(892)^{0} \pi^{\pm} + \bar{K}^{\ast }(892)^{0}\pi^{\pm}\rightarrow K_{S,L}^{0}\pi^0 \pi^{\pm}$ decays basing on the…

CP violation due to interference between $K_L$ and $K_S$ decays into $\pi ^+\pi^-\gamma$ is analyzed in the Standard Model. The CP-violating parameter $\epsilon'_{+- \gamma}$, which is the difference between $\eta_{+-\gamma}$ and…

The recently observed direct CP violation in $B_d \to K^+ \pi^-$ has raised suggestions of possible new physics. A robust test of the standard model vs. new physics is its prediction of equal direct CP violation in $B_s \to K^- \pi^+$…

Using isospin relations, we predict the Standard-Model correlation between S_{pi^0 K_S}=(sin 2beta)_{pi^0 K_S} and A_{pi^0 K_S}, the mixing-induced and direct CP asymmetries of B^0-> pi^0 K_S. The calculation uses flavour SU(3) only to fix…

The decay $B^0 \to K^0 \pi^0$, dominated by a $b \to s$ penguin amplitude, holds the potential for exhibiting new physics in this amplitude. In the pure QCD penguin limit one expects $\ckp = 0$ and $\skp = \sin 2 \beta$ for the coefficients…
