In order to explain the observed anomalies in the measurements of $R_{D^{(*)}}$ and $R_{J/\psi}$, a variety of new-physics (NP) models that contribute to $b\to c\tau^-{\bar\nu}$ have been proposed. In this paper, we show how CP-violating…

Measurements of $CP$ observables in $B^\pm \rightarrow D^{(*)} K^\pm$ and $B^\pm \rightarrow D^{(*)} \pi^\pm$ decays are presented, where $D^{(*)}$ indicates a neutral $D$ or $D^*$ meson that is an admixture of $D^{(*)0}$ and…

We study CP violation in b-baryon decays of $\Xi_b^- \to \Xi^- D$ with $D = D^0, \bar{D}^0$ and $D_i~(i=1,2)$. We find that these baryonic decay processes provide an ideal opportunity to measure the weak phase due to the absence of the…
