We observe evidence for CP violation in the decay $D^+\rightarrow K^0_S\pi^+$ using a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 977 fb$^{-1}$ collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ asymmetric-energy collider. The CP…
We carry out a $U$-spin symmetry analysis for CP violation in $B^- $ decays into three light $\pi^-\pi^-\pi^+$, $\pi^- K^-K^+$, $K^-K^-K^+$ and $K^- \pi^-\pi^+$ mesons. We clarify some subtle points in constructing decay amplitudes with…
In the standard model (SM), the CP violation is introduced through a single phase in the CKM matrix. The neutral kaon system is one of the most precise channels to test how the SM theory describes the experiment data such as $\epsilon_K$…
The real part of epsilon'/epsilon measures direct CP violation in the decays of the neutral kaons in two pions. It is a fundamental quantity which has justly attracted a great deal of theoretical as well as experimental work. Its…
We discuss several issues related to direct CP violation in rare $B$ meson decays. We review the use of CP asymmetries in extracting information of strong and weak phases, how the experimental data fit into the overall picture, and the…
Direct CP violation can exist in untagged B-meson decays to self-conjugate, three-particle final states; it would be realized as a population asymmetry in the untagged decay rate across the mirror line of the Dalitz plot of the three-body…
The direct CP violation parameter Re(epsilon'/epsilon) has been measured from the decay rates of neutral kaons into two pions using the NA48 detector at the CERN SPS. The 2001 running period was devoted to collecting additional data under…
We measure CP-violating asymmetries of neutral charmed mesons in the modes D0 --> K- K+ and D0 --> pi- pi+ with the highest precision to date by using D0 --> K- pi+ decays to correct detector asymmetries. An analysis of 385.8 fb-1 of data…
We review different definitions of the $\epsilon'$ parameter describing direct CP violation in neutral kaon decays, which was precisely measured in recent experiments, and point out the inconsistency of some of them due to a CPT constraint.…
The role of B decays in the study of CP violation is reviewed. We treat the interactions and spectroscopy of the $b$ quark and then introduce CP violation in $B$ meson decays, including time-dependences, decays to CP eigenstates and…
We study the pion decays with intermediate on-shell neutrinos $N$ into two electrons and a muon, $\pi^{\pm} \to e^{\pm} N \to e^{\pm} e^{\pm} \mu^{\mp} \nu$. We investigate the branching ratios ${\rm Br}_{\pm} = [\Gamma(\pi^- \to e^- e^-…

As measurements of the CKM angle $\gamma$ in decays of $b$-hadrons become increasingly precise, it is important to consider the impact of processes that affect secondary and tertiary decay products and can contribute to the observed CP…
A brief review of the theoretical status of CP violation in decays of neutral kaons is presented. We focus on three important topics: $\varepsilon$, $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$ and $K_L\to\pi^0\nu\bar\nu$.
I review the implications of recent measurements of CP violation in D meson decays in the context of standard model extensions. Using effective theory methods, one can derive significant constraints on the possible non-standard…
Measurement of $CP$-violating observables in semileptonic decays is a sensitive null-test of the Standard Model: any $CP$ violation would be an unambiguous sign of New Physics effects. The model-independent technique to measure parity and…

The two kinds of indirect CP violation in neutral meson systems are related, in the absence of new weak phases in decay. The result is a model-independent expression relating CP violation in mixing, CP violation in the interference of…
