The LHCb Collaboration has recently reported the discovery of direct CP violation in combined $D^0 \to K^+ K^-$ and $D^0 \to \pi^+ \pi^-$ decay modes at the $5.3 \sigma$ level. Assuming U-spin symmetry (i.e., $d \leftrightarrow s$…

In perturbative QCD approach, based on the first order of isospin symmetry breaking, we study the direct $CP$ violation in the decay of $\bar{B}_s^0\to\rho(\omega )K^{*0}\to {\pi^+}{\pi^-}K^{*0}$. An interesting mechanism is applied to…
The LHCb collaboration has recently observed the rare hyperon decay $\Sigma^+\to p\mu^+\mu^-$. It can also measure the corresponding antihyperon channel with comparable precision and is thus in a position to extract information on $CP$…
In this paper, we study CP violation in $\Lambda_c^+\to BP$ and $\Lambda_c^+\to BV$ decays, where $B,P$ and $V$ denote a light spin-1/2 baryon, pseudoscalar and a vector meson respectively. In these processes the $T$ odd CP violating…
The $\cp$ violating asymmetry $A(\Lambda^0_-)$ has been estimated to occur at the level of a few times $10^{-5}$ within the minimal standard model. The experiment E871 expects to reach a sensitivity of $10^{-4}$ to the asymmetry…
Direct CP violations in $B_{l4}$ decays ($B^\pm \to \pi^+\pi^- l^\pm {\nu}_l$) are investigated within the Standard Model (SM) and also in its extensions. In the decay processes, we include various excited states as intermediate states…
We search for CP violation in a sample of $4.7\times10^4$ Cabibbo-suppressed $D^0 \to K^+ K^- \pi^+ \pi^-$ decays. We use 470{\rm fb}^{-1} of data recorded by the BaBar detector at the PEPII asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ storage rings running…
The first observation of $CP$ violation in baryon decays was recently reported by the LHCb collaboration in $\Lambda_b^0\to pK^-\pi^+\pi^-$ with $A_{CP} = (2.45 \pm 0.46 \pm 0.10)\%$, which inspires the study on baryon non-leptonic decays.…
We report observations of CP violation in the decays B0 -> K+pi- and B0 -> pi+pi- in a sample of 383 million Y(4S) -> BBbar events. We find 4372 +/- 82 B0 -> K+pi- decays and measure the direct CP-violating charge asymmetry Akpi = -0.107…
Measurements of mixing and $CP$ violation in $b$-hadron decays are great probes to search for physics beyond the Standard Model. A selection of recent results based upon $3.0\ \mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of LHCb data are presented. These are the…
I present three studies from the LHCb experiment on the subject of direct CP violation in $B^0$ and $B_s$ decays. First, we measure the CP asymmetry in $B^\pm\to\psi K^\pm$ decays, with $\psi=J/\psi, \psi(2S)$, using 0.35 $fb^{-1}$ of $pp$…
We study CP violation in b-baryon decays of $\Xi_b^- \to \Xi^- D$ with $D = D^0, \bar{D}^0$ and $D_i~(i=1,2)$. We find that these baryonic decay processes provide an ideal opportunity to measure the weak phase due to the absence of the…
A variety of CP violating asymmetries in $B^0$ decays is predicted in the Standard Model in terms of CKM (Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa) complex phases. These phases can also be determined from rate measurements of certain $B^+$ and $B^-$…
