We study the CP-violating phase of the quark sector in the $U(8)$ flavor model on $T^2/Z_N \, (N=2,3,4,6)$ with non-vanishing magnetic fluxes, where properties of possible origins of the CP violation are investigated minutely. In this…
The starting point of these lectures is an introduction to the weak interactions of quarks and the Standard-Model description of CP violation, where the central role is played by the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix and the corresponding…
We investigate the sensitivity of the next generation of flavor-based low-energy experiments to probe the supersymmetric parameter space in the context of the phenomenological MSSM (pMSSM), and examine the complementarity with direct…
In minimal left-right symmetric theories, the requirement of parity invariance allows only one complex phase in the Higgs potential and one in the Yukawa couplings, leading to a two-phase theory with both spontaneous and explicit CP…
We discuss CP-violation in a model with a real and a complex isospin triplet Higgs fields without introducing any symmetries except for the electroweak gauge symmetry. This corresponds to the minimal extension of the Higgs sector with the…
A large CP-violating phase uncovered recently by CDF and D$\O$ collaborations in the time-dependent CP asymmetry (CPA) of the $B_s\to J/\Psi \phi$ decay clearly indicates that a non-Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) phase has to be brought…
In the quark sector, Jarlskog rephasing invariant parameter $J_{CP}$ has important implications for the CP violation as well as phase structure of the quark mass matrices. In fact all CP violating effects in this sector are proportional to…
CP violation is observed to date only in K^0 decays and is parameterizable by a single quantity epsilon. Because it is one of the least understood phenomena in the Standard Model and holds a clue to baryogenesis, it must be investigated…

We investigate CP-violating effects in electroweak interactions at future high-energy muon colliders within the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) framework. Focusing on four dimension-six CP-odd operators -- $…
CP violation plays a very important role in nature with implications both for Particle Physics and for Cosmology. Accounting for the observed matter anti-matter asymmetry of the Universe requires the existence of new sources of CP violation…
CP violation in top physics is reviewed. The Standard Model has negligible effects, consequently CP violation searches involving the top quark may constitute the best way to look for physics beyond the Standard Model. Non-standard sources…
Following a suggestion by Smit, the CP odd terms of the effective action of the Standard Model, obtained by integration of quarks and leptons, are computed to sixth order within a strict covariant derivative expansion approach. No other…
We reappraise the question whether the Standard Model, and Minimal Flavor Violating (MFV) models at large, can simultaneously describe the observed CP violation in the K- and Bd-systems. We find that CP violation in the Bd-system, measured…
We discuss the generalization of the Jarlskog condition of CP conservation for the case of the Standard Model with 4~quark generations. We express this condition in terms of the 3 Jarlskog invariants of the CKM matrix. Next we present the…
The first principle derivation of kinetic transport equations suggests that a CP-violating mass term during the electroweak phase transition can induce axial vector currents. Since the important terms are of first order in gradients there…
We calculate a number of observables related to particle-antiparticle mixing and the branching ratios for the most interesting rare and CP-violating K and B decays in the Standard Model (SM3) extended by a fourth generation of quarks and…
The recent analysis of the electroweak data at CDF indicates that the constraint on the top quark mass is $m_t=174\pm 17 $GeV. We accommodate this result in a new scheme of quark mass matrices in which two elements along the the leading…
This series of five lectures describes aspects of CP violation, emphasizing its description within the standard electroweak model. After discussing the kaon system, the only place in which CP violation has been seen so far, we turn to the…
Several pieces of direct and indirect evidence now suggest that the Kobayashi-Maskawa mechanism plays a distinguished role for CP violation at the electroweak scale. This talk provides a general overview of CP violation in its various…
