The CP parameters $\epsilon$ and $\epsilon'/\epsilon$ are calculated in the aspon model of spontaneous CP violation, a model which solves the strong CP problem. A new range for the scale of spontaneous breaking of CP is found. It is shown…
The KTeV physics program encompasses many goals including a precision measurement of the direct CP violation parameter Re($\epsilon' / \epsilon$) in $K \to \pi \pi$ decays, and studies of rare neutral kaon decays. The KTeV detector…
In this Ph.D. Thesis we analyze some CP-violating observables in Kaon decays. In Chapters 1-3 we describe the framework in which this Thesis has been developed and establish the definitions and notation. In Chapter 4 we study CP-violating…
This review of CP violation focuses on the status of the subject and its likely future development through experiments in the Kaon system and with B-decays. Although present observations of CP violation are perfectly consistent with the CKM…
The low energy dynamics of QCD is investigated with special attention paid to the matching between QCD and chiral perturbation theory(ChPT), and also to some useful algebraic chiral operator relations which survive even when we include…
The NA48/2 and NA62-$R_K$ experiments at the CERN SPS collected large samples of charged kaon decays in flight in 2003--07. The data analysis is still on-going (with over 20 publications produced so far); the recent results from these…
Experiments at CERN and Fermilab have been competing each other to improve the measurement of a CP violation parameter, epsilon'/epsilon. Fermilab KTeV-E832 recently announced their final result, Re(epsilon'/epsilon) = [19.2 +- 2.1] x…
The NA48/2 experiment at the CERN SPS carried out data taking in 2003 and 2004. Analysis of the selected data samples of 7,146 $K^\pm\to\pi^\pm e^+e^-$ decay candidates with 0.6% background, 1,164 $K^\pm\to\pi^\pm\gamma\gamma$ candidates…
Searches for experimental manifestations of CP violation have born much fruit in recent years with the discovery of direct CP violation and the first evidence of CP violation outside of the neutral kaon system. Nevertheless we still know…
Important new results have been presented at this conference. The direct violation of CP in $K^{0}\to \pi+\pi$ has been firmly established in two independent experiments, NA48 at CERN and KTeV at Fermilab. Both Babar at SLAC and Belle at…
The NA62 experiment at CERN collected a large sample of charged kaon decays with a highly efficient trigger for decays into electrons in 2007. The kaon beam represents a source of tagged neutral pion decays in vacuum. A measurement of the…
We present a series of measurements based on K -> pi+pi- and K -> pi0pi0 decays collected in 1996-1997 by the KTeV experiment (E832) at Fermilab. We compare these four K -> pipi decay rates to measure the direct CP violation parameter…
Three European experiments are engaged at present in the study of CP violation in the kaon system. In particular, NA48/1 and KLOE are concerned with the K-short decaying into three pions, while NA48/2 and KLOE study the charged kaon…
The NA48 experiment at CERN aims at making a precision study of direct CP violation in the neutral kaons, by measuring $Re(\epsilon'/\epsilon)$ with an accuracy better than 0.02%. To achieve this goal, the experiment requires a neutral…
It is shown that the data on the decay of neutral kaons may be explained without CP-violation.
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 quantity $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$ measures direct CP violation in Kaon decays. Recent SM predictions show a $2.9\sigma$ tension with data, with the theoretical uncertainty dominating. As rapid progress on the lattice is bringing…

We investigate direct CP violation in neutral meson decays by reconstructing the associated density matrices and measuring their difference using the trace distance. Our results cover neutral kaon decays into two scalar triplets of isospin…
