Recent measurements of the CP asymmetry in the decay $D^0 \rightarrow K_S^0 K_S^0$ by the CMS collaboration, $A_{CP}(K_S^0 K_S^0) = (6.2 \pm 3.0 \pm 0.2 \pm 0.8)\%$, and by LHCb, $A_{CP}(D^0 \to K_S^0 K_S^0) = (1.86 \pm 1.04 \pm 0.41)\%$,…
We report a measurement of the time-integrated $CP$ asymmetry in the neutral charm meson decay $D^0 \to K^0_S K^0_S$ using 921~fb$^{-1}$ data collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ and $\Upsilon(5S)$ resonances with the Belle detector at the KEKB…
We present new CDF results on the branching fractions and time-integrated direct CP asymmetries for $B^0$ and $B^0_s$ decay modes into pairs of charmless charged hadrons (pions or kaons). The data-set for this update amounts to 1…
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…
Studies of charm physics with the 2010 LHCb data sample are presented. Time-integrated searches for CP violation in D+ -> K- K+ pi+ and D0 -> K- K+, pi- pi+ are discussed.
We present the first QCD-based calculation of hadronic matrix elements with penguin topology determining direct CP-violating asymmetries in $D^0\to \pi^-\pi^+$ and $D^0\to K^- K^+$ nonleptonic decays. The method is based on the QCD…
We report a search for non-Standard Model physics through the measurement of CP-violating asymmetry in the Cabibbo suppressed D0->pi+pi- and D0->K+K- decays reconstructed in about 5.94/fb of CDF data. We use the strong D*+->D0pi+ decay ("D*…
We measure the time-integrated $CP$ asymmetry, $A_{CP}$, in $D^0\to\pi^0\pi^0$ decays reconstructed in $e^+e^-\to c\bar{c}$ events collected by Belle II during 2019--2022. The data corresponds to an integrated luminosity of…
Flavor symmetry and symmetry breaking, K^0-\bar{K}^0 mixing and possible effects of new physics on CP violation in weak decay modes D^{\pm} \to K_{S,L} + X^{\pm}, (K_{S,L} + \pi^0)_{K^*} + X^{\pm} (for X =\pi, \rho, a_1) and D^{\pm}_s \to…
Based on the most recent data in charmless B decays including the very recently reported large direct CP violations, it is shown that the weak phase gamma can well be extracted without two-fold ambiguity even only from two decay modes…
Using data from the FOCUS (E831) experiment, we have searched for T violation in charm meson decays using the four-body decay channels $D^0 \to K^-K^+\pi^-\pi^+$, $D^+ \to K^0_SK^+\pi^-\pi^+$, and $D^+_s \to K^0_SK^+\pi^-\pi^+$. The T…
The phenomenon of mixing in neutral meson systems has now been observed in all flavours, but only in the past year in the D0 system. The standard model anticipated that, for the charm sector, the mixing rate would be small, and also that CP…
We report a study of B -> D*K decays with D* decaying to D pi0 or D gamma, using 383 * 10**6 B Bbar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BaBar detector at the SLAC PEP-II B-Factory. The D meson decays under study include a…
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…
We report a Dalitz plot analysis of charmless hadronic decays of charged $B$ mesons to the final state $K_{\rm S}^{0}\pi^{+}\pi^{0}$ using the full BaBar dataset of $470.9\pm2.8$ million $B\bar{B}$ events collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$…
We present an analysis of the decay $D^0 \to K^+\pi^-$ based on FOCUS data. From a sample of 234 signal events, we find a branching ratio of $\frac{\Gamma(D^0 \to K^+\pi^-)}{\Gamma(D^0 \to K^-\pi^+)} = (0.429^{+0.063}_{-0.061}\pm 0.027)%$…
I review several topics involving CP violation with heavy hadrons. In particular, I discuss (i) Hyperons: CP violation in the decay $\Lambda^0 \to p \pi^-$, (ii) Charm: indirect CP violation in the D^0 system, both within and beyond the SM,…
The Standard Model predicts CP asymmetries in charm decays of $O(10^{-3})$ and the observation of significantly larger CP violation could indicate non-Standard Model physics effects. During 2011 and 2012, the LHCb experiment collected a…
Current HFAG averages of the mixing and CP violation parameters in the $D^0$ meson system is to be reviewed. We present recent Belle measurements of the mixing parameters $x$ and $y$ using $D^0\rightarrow K^0_S\pi^+\pi^-$, and $y_{CP}$ and…
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…
