We show that, if a fourth generation is discovered at the Tevatron or LHC, one could study CP violation in b' \to s decays. Asymmetries could reach 30% for b'\to sZ for m_{b'} \lesssim 350 GeV, while it could be greater than 50% for b'\to…
We report on a search for CP violation in the decays K^0_{\scriptscriptstyle S} K^\pm$, ${D_s^{\pm} \to K^0_{\scriptscriptstyle S} K^\pm$, and ${D_s^{\pm} \to K^0_{\scriptscriptstyle S} \pi^\pm$ using a data set corresponding to an…
We discuss the role of the radiative B decays $B \to X_{s/d} \gamma$ in our search for new physics focusing on the issue of direct CP violation. We discuss in some detail a SM prediction for the CP asymmetries in inclusive $b \to s/d$…
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…
About three million hadronic decays of the Z collected by ALEPH in the years 1991-1994 are used to search for anomalous CP violation beyond the Standard Model in the decay Z -> b \bar{b} g. The study is performed by analyzing angular…

The violation of the Charge-Parity (CP) symmetry is a phenomenon described by the Standard Model (SM), however, its predictions for this violation are not enough to explain the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the visible universe.…
The two-body hadronic decays of B mesons into pseudoscalar and axial vector mesons are studied within the framework of QCD factorization. The light-cone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs) for $^3P_1$ and $^1P_1$ axial-vector mesons have been…
We point out the $CP$ asymmetry in the chain decay of $\Lambda_c^+\to \Delta^+K(t)(\to \pi^+\pi^-)$ is determined by the branching fractions of $\Lambda^+_c\to \Delta^{++} K^-$, $\Lambda^+_c\to \Delta^{+} K^0_{S,L}$ and $\Lambda^+_c\to…
The quantum entangled $J/\psi \to \Sigma^{+}\bar{\Sigma}^{-}$ pairs from $(1.0087\pm0.0044)\times10^{10}$ $J/\psi$ events taken by the BESIII detector are used to study the non-leptonic two-body weak decays $\Sigma^{+} \to n \pi^{+}$ and…
The likelihood of a sizable, direct CP-violating asymmetry in the decays $B^\mp\to K^\mp\eta$, is calculated within the framework of the model which originally predicted a sizeable asymmetry in $\pi^\mp\eta(\eta')$. It is shown in a…
Measurements of the CKM parameter $\sin(2 \beta)$ have established $CP$ violation in the $B^0$ meson system arising from the interference between mixing and decay. However, direct CP violation, arising from the interference among different…
Using the helicity amplitude technique, we derive differential decay widths and angular distributions for the decay cascade $D\to K_{1}(1270,1400)\ell^+\nu_{\ell}\to (K\pi\pi)\ell^+\nu_{\ell} (\ell=e,\mu)$, in which the electron and muon…
The size of the direct CP asymmetry generated during the weak decay of hadrons is attributed to the weak phase and some strong phases. The weak phase comes from the CKM matrix and a strong phase may result from the resonance effect which is…
In this paper, we calculate the branching ratios and CP-violating asymmetries for $B_{s}\to \rho^\pm K^\mp$, $B_{s}\to\rho^{0}\bar{K}^0 $ and $B_{s}\to\omega\bar{K}^0$ decays in the perturbative QCD (pQCD) factorization approach. The…
