Recent LHCb data for time-dependent CP violation in $B_d^0 \to \pi^+\pi^-$ and $B^0_s\to K^+K^-$ show deviations from theoretical predictions. Besides their central values for $\mathcal C_{K^+K^-}$, $\mathcal S_{K^+K^-}$ and $\mathcal…

We report the first evidence for isospin violation in $B \to K^* \gamma$ and the first measurement of difference of $CP$ asymmetries between $B^+ \to K^{*+} \gamma$ and $B^0 \to K^{*0} \gamma$. This analysis is based on the data sample…

A search for charge-parity ($C\!P$) violation in $D^0 \to K^- K^+$ and $D^0 \to \pi^- \pi^+$ decays is reported, using $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6 $\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ collected at a center-of-mass…

Charm CP violation is a unique gate to the physics of up-type quarks and allows searches for physics beyond the Standard Model in new and exciting ways, complementary to kaon and $b$ decays. We review recent advances, focusing on…

Recently, the LHCb and CDF collaborations reported a surprisingly large difference between the direct CP asymmetries, Delta A_CP, in the D0 -> K+ K- and D0 -> pi+ pi- decay modes. An interesting question is whether this measurement can be…

It is shown that in the approximation of $|\frac{q}{p}|$=1 the CP violation in $B^0_{d,s} \to l^+ l^-$ decays vanishes in SM. In a 2HDM with CP violating phases and MSSM the CP asymmetries depend on the parameters of models and can be as…

A search for charge-parity (CP) violation in $D^0 \to K^- K^+$ and $D^0 \to \pi^-\pi^+$ decays is reported, using $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.9 $\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ collected at a center-of-mass energy…

The observation of a sizable CP asymmetry in the inclusive decays B -> Xs gamma would be a clean signal of New Physics. In the Standard Model, this asymmetry is below 1 % in magnitude. In extensions of the Standard Model with new…

We propose a theoretical framework to understand the observable charge-parity (CP) violation in charmless three-body $B^\pm$ decays. The decay amplitudes put together the $\pi\pi \to KK $ re-scattering and the U-spin symmetry, treated…

An analysis of the CP violating asymmetry in $K^\pm \to (3\pi)^\pm$ decays in the Standard Model and, by means of the mass insertion approximation, in a wide class of possible supersymmetric extensions, is presented. We find that the…

The tau is the only known lepton that can decay hadronically. From this class of decays, high precision measurements of several quantities can be extracted: the CKM matrix element $V_{us}$, the mass of the strange quark, etc. Also, as a…

We exploit the angular and quantum correlations in the $D\bar{D}$ pairs produced through the decay of the $\psi(3770)$ resonance in a charm factory to investigate CP-violation in two different ways. We consider the case of…

The quantities $\epsilon_K^\prime$ and $\epsilon_K$ measure the amount of direct and indirect CP violation in $K\to \pi\pi$ decays, respectively. Using the recent lattice results from the RBC and UKQCD Collaborations and a new compact…

We investigate the implications of direct CP violation (CPV) on the determination of the unitarity triangle angle \gamma\ from B -> DK decays. We show that \gamma\ can still be extracted even with the inclusion of direct CPV in charm if (i)…

Measurements of the time-dependent CP asymmetry in the decay $B^0_d (t) \to \pi^+ \pi^-$ and its charge conjugate by the BELLE and BABAR collaborations currently yield $C_{\pi \pi}^{+-} = -0.46 \pm 0.13$ and $S_{\pi \pi}^{+-} = -0.74 \pm…

In view of the recent observation of $CP$-violation in bottom baryon decays, we explore $CP$-asymmetry relations in charmless four-body decays of bottom baryons featuring fully charged hadronic final states. Starting with a general…

Recent experimental limits for the direct CP asymmetries in $B^0 \to K^+ \pi^-$, $B^+ \to K^+ \pi^0$, $B^+ \to K^0 \pi^+$, and $B^0 \to \pi^+ \pi^-$, and for the indirect CP asymmetry in $B^0 \to \pi^+ \pi^-$, are combined with information…

We show that within the Standard Model any system of hadronic weak charm decays related by $U$-spin satisfies the following rate sum rule: (sum of CF and DCS CKM-free rates) divided by (sum of SCS CKM-free rates) = 1, which holds up to…

Using the full data sample collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider, we have searched for CP violation of charmed mesons in $D^+\rightarrow K^0_S\pi^+$ and $D^0\rightarrow h^+h^-$ decays, where $h$…
