The observation of CP violation has been experimentally verified in numerous $B$ decays but is yet to be confirmed in final states with half-spin particles. We focus our attention on baryonic $B$-meson decays mediated dominantly through…

We present a preliminary study of $B^- \to D^0_{CP} \pi^-$ and $B^- \to D^0_{CP} K^-$ decays, with the $D^0_{CP}$ reconstructed in the CP-odd eigenstates $K_s \pi^0$, $K_s \omega$, in the CP-even eigenstates $K^+ K^-$, $\pi^+ \pi^-$, and in…

Recent measurements of B^0 -> pi pi decays reveal two features that are in conflict with conventional calculations: the channel B^0 (Bbar^0) -> pi^+ pi^- shows a large direct CP-violating asymmetry, and the channel B^0 (B^0) -> pi^0 pi^0…

We report measurements of the branching fractions and direct CP asymmetries (A_{CP}) for B->K pi, pi pi and KK decays (but not pi^0 pi^0) based on the final data sample of 772x10^6 B B-bar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with…

In perturbative QCD approach, we study the direct $CP$ violation in the decay of $\bar{B}_s^0\to\rho(\omega )\phi\to {\pi^+}{\pi^-}\phi$ via isospin symmetry breaking. An interesting mechanism involving the charge symmetry violating between…

We study the direct CP violation in $B^\pm\to p\bar p K^{(*)\pm}$ decays in the standard model. We point out that these three-body baryonic B decays can be important tools for detecting the direct CP violation in the charged $B$ system, in…

We give a brief review of direct $CP$ violation effects in charmless $B$ decays, both at the inclusive and at the exclusive level. It is emphasized that typical exclusive final states are composed of 2--4 $K$ or $\pi$'s, hence particle…

We study the CP-odd and CP-even observables of the $B$ mesons decaying into a baryon and antibaryon. We estimate these observables through the $^3P_0$ model and chiral selection rule. The decay branching ratios of $ B^+ \to p…

Indirect and direct CP violations have been established in K_L and B_d decays. They have been found in two-body decay channels -- with the exception of K_L to pi^+ pi^- e^+ e^- transitions. Evidence for direct CP asymmetry has just appeared…

We discuss several aspects of direct CP asymmetries in B decays, which are very useful in spite of hadronic uncertainties in asymmetry calculations. 1) Asymmetries in decays to $D^{(*)}K^{(*)}$, $\pi^+\pi^-, \rho^+\rho^-$, providing…

Inspired by the unexpectedly large difference between the CP violation of $D$ decays into $K^+K^-$ and $\pi^+\pi^-$, we explore the impact on the extraction of $\gamma$ via the $B\to DK$ process with the $D$ meson reconstructed in the…

We present a detailed study of direct CP violation and branching ratios in the channels $B^{0,\pm} \to \pi^{+}\pi^{-} V^{0,\pm}$, where $V$ is a vector meson ($K^{* 0,\pm}$ or $\rho^{\pm}$). Emphasis is placed upon the important role played…
