A difference of several tenths of a percent has been observed between the direct CP asymmetries of $D^0\to K^+K^-$ and $D^0\to \pi^+\pi^-$. It has been noted recently that CP asymmetries in such singly-Cabibbo-suppressed (SCS) decays can…

We consider CP violating effects in decays of the type $B^\pm\to \gamma a^\pm_{1,2}$ where $a_{1,2}$ are the $J^P=1^+$ and $2^+$ resonances each decaying to the common final state via $a^\pm_{1,2} \to\pi^\pm\rho^0$. The resonances enhance…

Direct CP violation can occur in B-meson decays of the type b -> d+c+cbar, where the charm-anticharm pair forms a J/psi. The CP asymmetry requires the contribution to the amplitude from decays into other states, which rescatter into d+J/psi…

We have searched for CP-violating asymmetries in neutral charm meson decays in 13.7 fb^-1 of e^+e^- collision data at sqrt{s} = 10.6 GeV with the CLEO detector. The measured asymmetries in the rate of D0 and D0bar decays to K0sPi0, Pi0Pi0…

Recently, LHCb experiment announced a 3.5$\sigma$ evidence for direct CP violation in $D^0$ decay by looking at the difference between $A_{CP}(D^0\rightarrow K^+K^-)$ and $A_{CP}(D^0\rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-)$. This is the first evidence of CP…

The recent observation of B^0_d->\pi^0\pi^0 and \bar{B}^0_d->\pi^0\pi^0 decay modes allows us to make a fresh isospin analysis of B->\pi\pi transitions. We find that current experimental data can impose some model-independent constraints on…

We present the current status of experimental results and prospects for the determination of CP and T violation in the charm sector. Such measurements have acquired renewed interest in recent years in view of theoretical work, which has…

We comment on the implications of the recently measured CP asymmetry in B --> Phi K_S decay. The data disfavor the Standard Model at 2.7 sigma and -if the trend persists in the future with higher statistics - require the existence of CP…

Several years ago, it was pointed out that the U-spin-related decays $B_d\to\pi^+\pi^-$, $B_s\to K^+K^-$ and $B_d\to\pi^\mp K^\pm$, $B_s\to \pi^\pm K^\mp$ offer interesting strategies for the extraction of the angle gamma of the unitarity…

Motivated by the $3.8\sigma$ deviation from no CP violation hypothesis for the CP asymmetry (CPA) difference between $D^0\to K^+ K^-$ and $D^0\to \pi^+ \pi^-$, reported recently by LHCb and CDF, we investigate the CP violating effect due to…
