CP violation in hadronic B-decays is studied in a definite and well motivated framework of flavour physics and supersymmetry. Possible deviations from the standard model both in mixing and in decay amplitudes are discussed. An attempt is…
Within the framework of three lepton families we have derived an exact and compact formula to describe the matter effect on neutrino mixing and CP violation. This model- and parametrization-independent result can be particularly useful for…
We explore the prospects of observing leptonic CP violation in a neutrino factory in the context of a scenario with three strongly oscillating neutrinos able to account for the solar, the atmospheric and the LSND results. We address also…
We present an overview of what we learned so far from low-energy flavour observables, concerning physics beyond the Standard Model, and what we could still learn from further studies in flavour physics in the next few years.
CP violation can be observed in B decays when a given process depends upon interference between two weak amplitudes which have different $CP$-violating phases. Since most weak decay diagrams have quark lines where each has a definite flavor…
