After briefly explaining the special role played by violations of CP and T invariance and their connection with the baryon number of the Universe, I sketch the history of CP violation studies since its totally unexpected discovery in 1964.…
Measurements of the CKM parameter $\sin(2 \beta)$ have established $CP$ violation in the $B^0$ meson system arising from the interference between mixing and decay. However, direct CP violation, arising from the interference among different…
A high precision search for direct CP-violation in K+- --> 3 pi decays was performed by the NA48/2 experiment at CERN SPS. The asymmetry in the Dalitz plot linear slopes A_g = (g^+ - g^-)/(g^+ + g^-) is measured to be A^c_g = (-1.3 +-…
In the near future, we will have the first significant experimental measurements of CP violation in B decays. These measurements will easily test crucial questions such as whether the Standard Model Kobayashi-Maskawa phase plays a dominant…
The measurement of epsilon'/epsilon has left open several theoretical problems, the most important of which is an accurate calculation of the relevant hadronic matrix elements. Here we study the possibility of relating epsilon' to CP…
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 strong CP violation problem has a long history emanating from its discovery 60 years ago in the decay of neutral kaons and subsequent experimental and theoretical studies over several decades. We review herein experimental data that…
I describe the recent measurement of the CP violating parameter $\sin 2 \phi_1 =(0.99\pm 0.14\pm 0.05)$ from the Belle experiment at KEK.
The theoretical status of direct CP violation $\epsilon'/\epsilon$ is briefly reviewed. Special attention is paid to the recent new consistent predictions for both the ratio $\epsilon'/\epsilon$ and the $\Delta I = 1/2$ rule within the…
This series of five lectures describes aspects of CP violation, emphasizing its description within the standard electroweak model. After discussing the kaon system, the only place in which CP violation has been seen so far, we turn to the…
After a brief history of the insights gained from Kaon physics, the potential of Kaon decays for probing lepton number violation is discussed. Present tests of CTP and of Quantum Mechanics in the neutral Kaon sector are then reviewed and…
Recent results on the kaon rare decays measured in NA48 experiment at CERN are presented.
Recent results from the NA48/1 and NA48/2 experiments at the CERN SPS are presented. NA48/2 carried out data taking in 2003 and 2004 collecting charged kaon decays: branching ratios and form factors have been measured for the rare K+- to…
We find a new $CP$ violating effect in charmed hadron decays into neutral kaons, which is induced by the interference between the Cabibbo-favored and doubly Cabibbo-suppressed amplitudes with the $K^{0}-\overline K^{0}$ mixing. It is…
Supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model provide new sources of CP violation. Here the CP properties of neutralinos are described and possible experimental signatures of CP--violation in the neutralino production processes at e+e-…
A brief review of CP violation in $K$ and $B$ decays is given. While the observables $\varepsilon$ and Re$(\varepsilon'/\varepsilon)$ describing CP violation in neutral $K$ decays do not allow a powerful test of the CKM mechanism of CP…
Measurements of CP asymmetries in hadron decays integrated over time provide access to direct CP violation, which arises from differences between the amplitudes of CP-conjugate decay processes. These proceedings present an overview of…
We suggest a new experiment sensitive to a possible difference between the amount of CP violation as measured on the surface of the Earth and in a lower gravity environment. Our proposed experiment is model independent and could yield a…
We comment on CP, T and CPT violation in the light of interesting new data from the CPLEAR and KTeV Collaborations on neutral kaon decay asymmetries. Other recent data from the CPLEAR experiment, constraining possible violations of CPT and…
The decay KS -> 3pi0 is forbidden by CP conservation. Using a sample of more than 6 million K -> 3pi0 decays, the NA48 Collaboration has improved the limit on eta_{000} = A(KS -> 3pi0)/A(KS -> 3pi0) and on the branching ratio Br(KS -> 3pi0)…
