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…

I review the implications of recent measurements of CP violation in D meson decays in the context of standard model extensions. Using effective theory methods, one can derive significant constraints on the possible non-standard…

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 argue that the observation of a sizable direct CP asymmetry A_{CP} in the inclusive decays B -> X_s gamma would be a clean signal of New Physics. In the Standard Model, A_{CP} can be calculated reliably and is found to be below 1% in…

Recent results on mixing, CP violation and rare decays in charm physics from the LHCb experiment are presented. Study of ''wrong-sign'' $D^{0} \rightarrow K^+ \pi^-$ decays provides the highest precision measurements to date of the mixing…

The discovery of CP violation in charm sector in 2019 was a milestone in searches performed over last decades. The $\Delta A_{CP}$ measured by LHCb is at the upper end of the Standard Model predictions. This triggers many interpretations…

A model for the $B^\pm \to \pi^-\pi^+\pi^\pm$ decay amplitude is proposed to study the large CP violation observed at the high mass region of the Dalitz plane. A short distance $ b \to u $ amplitude with the weak phase $\gamma$ is…

This talk addresses two topics related to CP asymmetries in $D$ meson decays to two pseudoscalar mesons. First I discuss how new physics can be distinguished from the Standard Model through two sum rules relating three direct CP asymmetries…

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…

Within the Standard Model, CP rate asymmetries for $B\to K^-\pi^{+,0}$ could reach 10%. With strong final state phases, they could go up to 20--30%, even for $\bar K^0\pi^-$ mode which would have opposite sign. We can account for…

We consider the combined measurements of CP-averaged decay rates and direct CP asymmetries of $B^\pm\to K^\pm \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $B^\pm\to \pi^\pm \ell^+ \ell^-$ to probe (non-local) four-quark operator matrix element contributions to rare…

The charmless decays $B^{\pm} \rightarrow K^{+}K^{-}\pi^{\pm}$ and $B^{\pm} \rightarrow \pi^{+}\pi^{-}\pi^{\pm}$ are reconstructed in a data set, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb$^{-1}$ of pp collisions at a…

We investigate the possibility that the CP violation due to the soft supersymmetry breaking terms in squark mixing can give significant contributions to the various $\gamma$ related parameters in B decays, different from those of the…

The LHCb experiment measured the time-dependent CP asymmetries $C_{KK}$ and $S_{KK}$ in $B_s\to K^+K^-$ decay. Combining with the corresponding CP asymmetries $C_{\pi\pi}$ and $S_{\pi\pi}$ in $B\to \pi^+\pi^-$ decay, we find that the size…

The charmless decays $B^{\pm}\to K^{\pm}\pi^+\pi^-$ and $B^{\pm}\to K^{\pm}K^+K^-$ are reconstructed using data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb$^{-1}$, collected by LHCb in 2011. The inclusive charge asymmetries of…

Within the standard model, a relation involving branching ratios and direct CP asymmetries holds for the B-decay pairs that are related by U-spin. The violation of this relation indicates new physics (NP). In this paper, we assume that 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…

The charm quark offers interesting opportunities to cross-check the mechanism of CP violation precisely tested in the strange and beauty sectors. In this paper, we exploit the angular and quantum correlations in the D\bar{D} pairs produced…

We argue that one can search for physics beyond the standard model through measurements of the isospin-violating quantity $\Delta^{-0} \equiv \Gamma(B^- \to \rho^- \gamma)/2\Gamma(B^0 \to \rho^0 \gamma)-1$, its charge conjugate…
