The LHCb Collaboration has recently measured the difference of time-integrated $CP$ asymmetry in $D^{0}\rightarrow K^{+}K^{-}$ and $D^{0}\rightarrow \pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ decays, more precisely. The reported value is $ \Delta A_{CP}=-0.10 \pm…

Our community has focused on two-body final states in $B$ & $D$ decays. The SM produces at least the leading source of CP violation in $B$ transitions, none has been established yet in charm decays. It is crucial to measure three- and…

CP asymmetries in $B^0(t)\to \pi^+ \pi^-$ are studied by relating this process in broken flavor SU(3) with $B^+\to K^0\pi^+$ and $B^0\to K^+\pi^-$. Using two different scenarios for SU(3) breaking, we show that the range of values of the…

I discuss the calculation of the direct CP-asymmetry in $D\to \pi^+\pi^-$ and $D\to K^+K^- $ decays with the method of QCD light-cone sum rules. The main result is the upper limit for the difference of the two asymmetries $\left|\Delta…

Recent CLEO results on neutral charm meson decays presented at the XXXVIth Rencontres de Moriond are discussed. We find no evidence of CP asymmetry in five different two-body decay modes of the D0 to pairs of light pseudo-scalar mesons. We…

We present the selected recent charm results at Belle: (1) the $CP$ asymmetries and branching fractions for the decays of charm mesons, i.e. $D^{0}\to\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\eta,\,K^{+}K^{-}\eta$ and $D^{0}\to\phi\eta$; $D_{s}^{+}\to…

A summary of the results of several recent studies of charm mixing is presented. A number of different methods were used, including the measurement of lifetime ratios for final states of different CP, time dependence of wrong-sign hadronic…

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…

Observed decay rates indicate large phase differences among the amplitudes for the charge states in $D \to \bar K \pi$ and $D \to \bar K^* \pi$ but relatively real amplitudes in the charge states for $D \to \bar K \rho$. This feature is…

Recent LHCb data shows that the direct CP asymmetries of the decay modes $D^0\rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-$ and $D^0\rightarrow K^+K^-$ have the same sign, violating an improved $U$-spin limit sum rule in an unexpected way at $2.1\sigma$. From the…

We study the direct CP asymmetries in the decays of $B^0 \to \Xi_c^+ \overline{\Xi}_c^-$ and $B_s^0 \to \Lambda_c^+ \overline{\Lambda}_c^-$, emphasizing the critical role of final-state interactions (FSIs). In these channels, the small…

We analyze the extraction of weak phases from CP violation in $B\to\pi^+\pi^-$ decays. By combining the information on mixing induced CP violation in $B\to\pi^+\pi^-$, namely $S_{\pi\pi}$, with the precision observable $\sin 2\beta$…

The best place to search for direct CP violation is the already observed charmless $b\to s$ modes. In SM with FSI, $a_{CP}$ in $K\pi$ modes could be as large as 20-30% but differ in sign between $K^-\pi^+/K^-\pi^0$ and $\bar K^0 \pi^-$. We…

A measurement of time-dependent $CP$ violation in $D^0 \rightarrow \pi^+ \pi^- \pi^0$ decays using a $pp$ collision data sample collected by the LHCb experiment in 2012 and from 2015 to 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of…

Various new measurements in charmless $B_{u,d,s}\to PP$ modes, where $P$ is a low lying pseudoscalar meson, are reported by Belle and LHCb. These include the rates of $B^0\to\pi^0\pi^0$, $\eta\pi^0$, $B_s\to\eta'\eta'$, $B^0\to K^+K^-$ and…

We present a measurement of the time-dependent charge-parity (CP) violation parameters in B0 -> pi+ pi- decays. The results are obtained from the final data sample containing 772 million BBbar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance…

Final state phases \delta_f and \delta_f' in B-> D pi, barD pi decays are shown to be equal i.e. \delta =\delta_f-\delta_f' = 0. Thus CP-violating asymmetry A(t) is independent of final state phases. The estimate for the phases \delta_f and…

A measurement of the charm-mixing parameter $y_{CP}$ using $D^0 \to K^+ K^-$, $D^0 \to \pi^+ \pi^-$, and $D^0 \to K^- \pi^+$ decays is reported. The $D^0$ mesons are required to originate from semimuonic decays of $B^-$ and $\overline{B}^0$…
