We investigate the possibility of observing direct CP violation in self-tagging B-meson decays of the type b -> d J/\psi. The CP asymmetry can be generated due to strong or electromagnetic scattering in the final state, or due to long…

The known isospin-breaking contributions to the $K\rightarrow \pi\pi$ amplitudes are reanalyzed, taking into account our current understanding of the quark masses and the relevant non-perturbative inputs. We present a complete numerical…
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 present for the first time a master formula for $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$, the ratio probing direct CP violation in $K \to \pi\pi$ decays, valid in any theory beyond the Standard Model (BSM). The formula makes use of hadronic matrix…
It is stressed that a measurement of the electric dipole amplitude for direct photon emission in $\kpm$ decays through its interference with inner bremsstrahlung is important for differentiating among various models. Effects of amplitude CP…

We address the long-standing problem of negative decay and production rates in perturbative QCD for exclusive processes by proposing amplitude-level NRQCD factorization as a systematic prescription. Building on this, we present the first…
We have calculated the short distance QCD coefficient \eta_3 of the effective |\Delta S|=2-hamiltonian in the next-to-leading order. Since now all coefficients \eta_1, \eta_2 and \eta_3 are known beyond the leading log approximation, one…
We review some recent theoretical results on radiative rare kaon decays. Particular attention is devoted to the channels $K\to \pi l\bar{% l}$ and $K\to \pi \pi \gamma$, where we are (or might be) able to extract the short distance…
CP violation is an important tool to test the Standard Model and his extensions. We describe kaon physics observables testing CP violation and more in general short distance physics. Channels under consideration will be K -> pi nu nu, K ->…
We review the experimental searches and determinations of direct CP violation in meson decays and other systems.
In this paper we discuss the recent finalized analyses by the KLOE experiment at DA$\Phi$NE: the CPT and Lorentz invariance test with entangled $K^0 \bar{K}^0$ pairs, and the precision measurement of the branching fraction of the decay ${…
The measurement of epsilon'/epsilon has left open several theoretical problems, the most important of which is an accurate calculation of the relevant hadronic matrix elements. Here we study the possibility of relating epsilon' to CP…
