The ongoing experimental efforts in the high energy and high precision communities keep providing evidence for CPT, a fundamental symmetry holding in any local Lorentz invariant theory. We suggest possible interconnections between different…
We search for CP violation in neutral charm meson decays using a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 966 fb^-1 collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- asymmetric-energy collider. The asymmetry obtained in the rate of D^0…
We provide an overview of the current experimental and theoretical status of charm CP violation and discuss recent progress in obtaining a Standard Model prediction for $\Delta a_{\rm CP}^{\rm dir}$ using the framework of light-cone sum…
We derive a strong bound on the chromo-electric dipole moment of the charm quark, and we quantify its impact on models that allow for a sizeable flavour violation in the up quark sector. In particular we show how the constraints coming from…
Charm CP violation is a unique gate to the physics of up-type quarks and allows searches for physics beyond the Standard Model in new and exciting ways, complementary to kaon and $b$ decays. We review recent advances, focusing on…
Recent measurements of observables sensitive to CPT, T and CP violation in neutral B meson mixing by the B-factory experiments Belle and BaBar are presented.
We derive bounds on the electric and chromo-electric dipole moments of the charm quark. The second one turns out to be particularly strong, and we quantify its impact on models that allow for a sizeable flavour violation in the up quark…
We review some recent developments in charm meson physics. In particular, we discuss theoretical predictions and experimental measurements of charmed meson decays to leptonic, semileptonic, and hadronic final states and implications of such…
It was recently pointed out that inclusive B^0(t) decays could show CP violation. The totally inclusive asymmetry is expected to be tiny [O(10^{-3})] because of large cancellations among the asymmetries in the charmless, single charm and…
A measurement of charm mixing and $CP$-violating parameters is reported, using $\bar{B} \rightarrow D^0 ( \rightarrow K_S^0 \pi^+ \pi^-) \mu^- \bar{\nu}_\mu X$ decays reconstructed in proton-proton collisions collected by the LHCb…
The observation of $D^0 - \bar D^0$ oscillations has left us in a tantalizing quandary concerning the theoretical interpretation: are they still compatible with the SM or might they require new dynamics (NP)? A comprehensive search for CP…
This article summarises measurements of time-dependent CP asymmetries in decays of neutral B mesons to charm final states using data collected by the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B-factory. All results are preliminary…
Charm physics has attracted increased attention after first evidence for charm mixing was observed in 2007. The level of attention has risen sharply after LHCb reported first evidence for CP violation in the charm sector. Neither mixing nor…
We report on a direct measurement of the mixing parameter y=(3.42+-1.39+-0.74)% in the D0-D0bar system by measuring the lifetime difference between the CP mixed final state K^+pi^- and the CP even state K^+K^-. We also present a study of…
Recent evidence for anomalous CP violation in B-meson oscillations can be interpreted as resulting from CPT violation. This yields the first sensitivity to CPT violation in the B_s^0 system, with the relevant coefficient for CPT violation…
It is known that the existing experimental limit for$ CPT $ violation is rather poor; the 10 \% level at best. The $ \DSDQ $ rule is tested only up to 2 \%. In this note, we discuss the possibility of measuring $ T, CP, CPT $ and $ \DSDQ $…
Recent measurements of mixing and $CP$ violation in charm decays at LHCb are presented. These include searches for direct $CP$ violation in $D^{0}\rightarrow K_{S}^{0}K_{S}^{0}$, $D_{(s)}^{+}\rightarrow h^{+} \pi^{0} $ and…
We study CP violation induced by neutral kaon mixing in $a_{CP}(D^0 \rightarrow K_S K_S)$. We show that the contribution from neutral kaon mixing arises only in connection with second-order weak interactions in $D$ decays. We estimate this…
The Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) experiment performed the first measurement of the time-evolution of flavor-tagged B0s->J/psiphi decays, which probes mixing-induced CP-violation in the B0s sector. Any sizable deviation from zero of…
I show that the CP-violating asymmetry in K^0 vs \bar{K}^0 \to \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0 decays differs from that in K_L \to \pi^+\pi^-, K_L \to \pi^0\pi^0 or the semileptonic K_L transitions, if there exists CPT violation in K^0-\bar{K}^0 mixing. A…
