We find a new $CP$ violating effect in charmed hadron decays into neutral kaons, which is induced by the interference between the Cabibbo-favored and doubly Cabibbo-suppressed amplitudes with the $K^{0}-\overline K^{0}$ mixing. It is…
In this talk we briefly present a flavor-SU(3) technique to study branching ratios and direct CP asymmetries $D$-meson decays. The first part of the talk is meant to set up a foundation, based on previous work, to deal with flavor-SU(3)…
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…
We have searched for CP violation in the charmed meson decays $D^{+}_{(s)}\to K^0_S\pi^+$ and $D^{+}_{(s)}\to K^0_S K^+$ using 673 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. No…
We have recently shown that the large direct CP violation observed in the decay B^0 -> pi^+ pi^-, and the enhanced branching ratio for B^0 -> pi^0 pi^0, can be understood by invoking a small mixing of the pi pi system with the dominant D…
Measurements of the CKM parameter $\sin(2 \beta)$ have established $CP$ violation in the $B^0$ meson system arising from the interference between mixing and decay. However, direct CP violation, arising from the interference among different…
We review the direct CP and T violation in the three-body baryonic B decays in the standard model. In particular, we emphasize that the direct CP violating asymmetry in $B^\pm\to p\bar p K^{*\pm}$ is around 22% and the direct $T$ violating…
The LHCb Collaboration has recently observed evidence of CP violation in neutral D meson decays. CP violation in the charm sector is generically expected to be very small in the Standard Model, but can be enhanced in many models of new…
We search for CP violation in a sample of 20000 Cabibbo-suppressed decays, $D^+\rightarrow K^+K^0_S\pi^+\pi^-$, and 30000 Cabibbo-favored decays, $D_s^+\rightarrow K^+K^0_S\pi^+\pi^-$. We use 520 $fb^{-1}$ of data recorded by the BaBar…
We discuss the perturbative QCD approach for the exclusive two body B-meson decays to light mesons. We briefly review its ingredients and some important theoretical issues on factorization approach. We show numerical results which are…
We report evidence for direct CP violation in the decay B0 -> K+-pi-+ with 253/fb of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider. Using 275 million B B_bar pairs we observe a B -> K+-pi-+ signal with 2140+-53 events.…
The recent evidence of large direct CP violation in D0 decay at LHCb suggests that such CP studies may become an important avenue for understanding CP. In this paper, we make several suggestions to try to clarify the role of new physics in…
LHCb collaboration has recently announced a measurement of the difference of time-integrated CP asymmetries between $D\rightarrow K^+K^-$ and $D \rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-$. This result provides the evidence of large direct CP violation in $D$…
Direct CP violation can exist in untagged, neutral B-meson decays to certain self-conjugate, hadronic final states. It can occur if the resonances which appear therein permit the identification of distinct, CP-conjugate states -- in analogy…
Inspired by the unexpectedly large difference between the CP violation of $D$ decays into $K^+K^-$ and $\pi^+\pi^-$, we explore the impact on the extraction of $\gamma$ via the $B\to DK$ process with the $D$ meson reconstructed in the…
The recently measured direct CP asymmetries in the processes $D^0\to \pi^+\pi^-$ and $D^0\to K^+K^-$ show a significant deviation from the naive Standard Model expectation. Using a general parameterization of the decay amplitudes, we show…
We study direct CP violation in the bottom baryon decays \Lambda_b -> f \rho^0 (\omega) -> f\pi^+\pi^- (f=n or \Lambda). It is found that in these decays via \rho-\omega mixing the CP violation could be very large when the invariant mass of…
We present recent LHCb results and future prospects for CP violation and mixing measurements in multi-body charm decays. The complex amplitude structure of multi-body decays provides unique sensitivity to CP violation localised in certain…
We present preliminary results of several analyses searching for the effects of CP violation and mixing in the decay of $D^0$ mesons. We find no evidence of CP asymmetry in five different two-body decay modes of the $D^0$ to pairs of light…
We point out that in supersymmetric models the direct CP violating asymmetry $A(\Lambda^0_-)$ in $\Lambda \to \pi^- p$ can be of $O(10^{-3})$ in the range to be probed by the current E871 experiment.
