We present an overview of a few recent results related to CP-violation from the Tevatron. First, we discuss a measurement of the dimuon charge asymmetry from D{\O}that extracts the CP-violation parameter of $\Bo$ mixing and decay. This is…
The results of a measurement of the ratio R = Y(phi pi+ pi-) / Y(omega pi+ pi-) for antiproton annihilation at rest in a gaseous and in a liquid hydrogen target are presented. It was found that the value of this ratio increases with the…
Baryon number violation is our most sensitive probe of physics beyond the Standard Model. Its realization through heavy new particles can be conveniently encoded in higher-dimensional operators that allow for model-agnostic analyses. The…
We study CPT and Lorentz violation in the tau-lepton sector of the Standard Model in the context of the Standard-Model Extension, described by a coefficient which is thus far unbounded by experiment. We show that any non-zero value of this…
