We analyze possible interpretations of the recent LHCb evidence for CP violation in D meson decays in terms of physics beyond the Standard Model. On general grounds, models in which the primary source of flavor violation is linked to the…
We have performed a search for CPT violation in neutral charm meson oscillations using data from the FOCUS Experiment. While flavor mixing in the charm sector is predicted to be small by the Standard Model, it is still possible to…
Standard model mixing and CP violation are expected to be small in the charm sector. Some argue that only in the presence of new physics do we currently expect to observe these effects. Fermilab experiment E791 has the largest sample of…
We review experimental and theoretical aspects of CP violation in the $B_s^0$-system. In that respect we present updates for the mixing parameters of the $B_s^0$ mesons expected in the Standard Model (SM): the mass difference $\Delta…
Neutral flavour meson oscillations are a fascinating quantum phenomenon that allows for high-precision tests of fundamental symmetries, including CPT invariance. In this contribution, we present the methodology for testing CPT violation in…
Measurements of CKM elements and $CP$-violating observables are sensitive to revealing effects beyond the SM. These proceedings discuss four recent LHCb results. The first one presents $CP$ violation measurements in $B^0_s$ decays.…
The flavor protection in composite Higgs models with partial compositeness is known to be insufficient. We explore the possibility to alleviate the tension with CP odd observables by assuming that flavor or CP are symmetries of the…
$CP$ violation asymmetry is expected to be very small within the Standard Model. Observation of $CP$ violation in charm sector would hint towards New Physics. Time-reversal asymmetry is sensitive to $CPV$ via the $CPT$ Theorem, and is a…
We propose for the first time a method to perform analysis of time-dependent CP asymmetries in charm by using both, correlated and un-correlated $D^0$ mesons. Here we consider the decay channels $D^0\to K^+ K^-$ and $D^0\to \pi^+ \pi^-$.…
In this proceedings we present a measurement of mixing, and searches for direct and indirect CP asymmetries in the charm sector using the full \babar data sample of $469 \invfb$. Searches for direct CP asymmetries have been performed in the…
The Standard Model (SM) predicts that $\Delta A_{\rm CP}$, the difference between the direct CP asymmetries for the modes $B^+\to \pi^0 K^+$ and $B^0\to \pi^- K^+$ that are related by weak isospin, should be close to zero. There has been a…
We review and update the constraints on the parameters of the quark flavour mixing matrix $V_{CKM}$ in the standard model and estimate the resulting CP asymmetries in $B$ decays, taking into account recent experimental and theoretical…
The reported CP asymmetry in D->K^+K^- / pi^+pi^- is argued to be too large to naturally fit the SM. If so, a new source of CP violation is implied in the Delta C=1 sector with a milliweak strength. CP-odd interactions in the…
A measurement of charm mixing and $CP$-violating parameters is reported, using $\bar{B} \rightarrow D^0 ( \rightarrow K_S^0 \pi^+ \pi^-) \mu^- \bar{\nu}_\mu X$ decays reconstructed in proton-proton collisions collected by the LHCb…
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^-) -…
The Standard Model predictions for $D^0$-$\bar{D}^0$ mixing and CP violation in $D$ decays are revised. The emphasis is put on obtaining the order of magnitude of the effects. In the case of mixing, the different approaches to the long…
Motivated by recent indications that the rates of colour-allowed non-leptonic channels are not in agreement with their Standard Model expectations based on QCD factorisation, we investigate the potential to study CP asymmetries with these…
Although CP violation is predicted to be small in the Standard Model, there exists a continuing theoretical interest within the charm sector due to enhancements of CPV through new physics processes. We present an overview of the…
LHCb has started its charm physics programme using the data taken at the LHC. The first measurements of open charm production cross-sections for proton proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7 \tev$ are presented. The cross-sections of the \PDzero,…
Motivated by the very important discovery of CP violation in charm-decays for the first time, by the LHCb collaboration, the role of nearby resonances such as the scalar $f_0(1710)$ in accounting for the observed CP is discussed. It is…
