I present three studies from the LHCb experiment on the subject of direct CP violation in $B^0$ and $B_s$ decays. First, we measure the CP asymmetry in $B^\pm\to\psi K^\pm$ decays, with $\psi=J/\psi, \psi(2S)$, using 0.35 $fb^{-1}$ of $pp$…
We discuss the RBC & UKQCD collaboration's progress towards a first-principles calculation of direct CP-violation in the Standard Model via K ->pi pi decays. In particular we focus upon the calculation of the I=0 channel amplitude A_0, for…
A lattice calculation of the pseudoscalar decay constant of heavy-light mesons is reported. Results are obtained (in the quenched approximation) from lattices at $\beta=6.3$ through a procedure that interpolates between the static…
The two kinds of indirect CP violation in neutral meson systems are related, in the absence of new weak phases in decay. The result is a model-independent expression relating CP violation in mixing, CP violation in the interference of…
We report measurements of the branching fraction and CP violation parameters in B0 -> D+D- decays. The results are based on a data sample that contains 535 x 10^6 BBbar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance, with the Belle detector…
We calculate all the branching ratios and direct CP violations of $B \to PV$ decays in a most general two-Higgs-doublet model with spontaneous CP violation. As the model has rich CP-violating sources, it is shown that the new physics…
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…
In this paper, we calculate the decay rate and CP asymmetry of the $B_s \to \pi^+\pi^-$ decay in perturbative QCD approach with Sudakov resummation. Since none of the quarks in final states is the same as those of the initial $B_s$ meson,…
We examine quenched chiral logarithms in lattice QCD with overlap Dirac quark. For 100 gauge configurations generated with the Wilson gauge action at $ \beta = 5.8 $ on the $ 8^3 \times 24 $ lattice, we compute quenched quark propagators…
The $\Delta I=1/2$ rule and direct CP violation $\epsilon'/\epsilon$ in kaon decays are studied within the framework of the effective Hamiltonian approach in conjunction with generalized factorization for hadronic matrix elements. We…

Using heavy meson chiral perturbation theory, we consider the light quark-mass and spatial volume dependence of the matrix elements of \Delta B=2 and \Delta C=2 four-quark operators relevant for B^{0}_{(s)}{-}\bar{B}^{0}_{(s)} and…
We present an unquenched $N_f=2$ lattice computation of the $B_{K}$ parameter which controls $K^0-\bar K^0$ oscillations. A partially quenched setup is employed with two maximally twisted dynamical (sea) light Wilson quarks, and valence…
We have computed the decay constants for the $B$ and $D$ mesons, using quenched lattices at $\beta=6.3$, by interpolating between the static approximation of Eichten and the conventional (``heavy'' Wilson fermion) method. A more careful…
We present a fully non-perturbative computation of the mass of the b-quark in the quenched approximation. Our strategy starts from the matching of HQET to QCD in a finite volume and finally relates the quark mass to the spin averaged mass…
We present the ingredients necessary for the determination of physical K->pi pi decay amplitudes for Delta I=3/2 transitions, from lattice simulations at unphysical kinematics and the use of chiral perturbation theory at next-to-leading…
Data indicate that $\Delta I=1/2$ transitions account for 4.5-4.7% of both CP conserving and CP violating $K \to 2\pi$ decays, as well as CP conserving radiative $K \to \pi\pi\gamma$ processes. Observed $K \to \pi\pi\gamma/\pi\pi$ branching…
We present a new measurement of the time-dependent CP-violating parameters in B0 --> pi+ pi- decays with 275 x 10^6 BB-bar pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider operating at the Upsilon(4S)…
We develop chiral perturbation theory for baryons in quenched QCD. Quenching (the elimination of diagrams containing virtual quark loops) is achieved by extending the Lagrangian method of Bernard and Golterman, and is implemented in a…
We present the most complete analysis of the penguin correction to the extraction of the standard-model parameter sin(2\phi_1) from the B^0 -> J/psi K_S decay up to leading power in 1/m_b and to next-to-leading order in \alpha_s, \phi_1…
