We address the validity of the usual procedure to determine the sensitivity of neutrino oscillation experiments to CP violation. An explicit calibration of the test statistic is performed through Monte Carlo simulations for several…
In these three lectures, I overview the theoretical framework of the flavour physics and CP violation. The first lecture is the introduction to the flavour physics. Namely, I give theoretical basics of the weak interaction. I follow also…
Recent measurements of CP asymmetry in B --> phi K_S appear to be inconsistent with Standard Model expectations. We explore the effect of R-parity-violating SUSY to understand the data.
The standard model (SM) has several issues related to the $CP$ violation which could give clues to search physics beyond the SM. They are a $CP$ phase in the CKM matrix, the strong $CP$ problem, $CP$ phases in the PMNS matrix and $CP$…
It is shown that Randall-Sundrum model has the EDM term which violates the CP-symmetry. The comparison with the case of Kaluza-Klein theory is done. The chiral property, localization, anomaly phenomena are examined. We evaluate the bulk…
The LHCb collaboration has recently observed the rare hyperon decay $\Sigma^+\to p\mu^+\mu^-$. It can also measure the corresponding antihyperon channel with comparable precision and is thus in a position to extract information on $CP$…
Supersymmetric extensions of the standard model generically contain additional sources of CP violation. We discuss how at one loop a potentially large CP violating coupling of the lightest Higgs, h^0, to leptons is induced in the minimal…
Inspired by the unexpectedly large difference between the CP violation of $D$ decays into $K^+K^-$ and $\pi^+\pi^-$, we explore the impact on the extraction of $\gamma$ via the $B\to DK$ process with the $D$ meson reconstructed in the…
We review the present status of the Standard Model of CP violation, which is based on a complex phase in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi- Maskawa (CKM) matrix. So far CP violation has been observed only in $K^0-\Kbar$ mixing, consistent with a…
We have compared the decay rates of K_L and K_S to \pi^+ \pi^- and \pi^0 \pi^0 final states using a subset of the data from the KTeV experiment (E832) at Fermilab. We find that the direct-CP-violation parameter Re(\epsilon'/\epsilon) is…
CP-violation is one of the least understood phenomena in our field. There are major experimental programs in all high energy laboratories around the world which will hopefully remedy this within the next decade. The study of CP-violating…
We predict CP violation in the long baseline accelerator experiments taking into consideration the recent LSND data and the atmospheric neutrino data. The estimated upper bound of CP violation is 0.006, which may be observable in the long…
New physics beyond the Standard Model could appear at long baseline oscillation experiments as non-standard interactions (NSI) between neutrinos and matter. If so, determination of the CP-violating phase $\delta_{13}$ is ambiguous due to…
We consider possibilities of observing CP-violation effects in neutrino oscillation experiments with low energy ($\sim$ several hundreds MeV).
Using the recent first lattice results of the RBC-UKQCD collaboration for $K \to \pi\pi$ decays, we perform a phenomenological analysis of $\epsilon_K^{\prime}/\epsilon_K$ and find a discrepancy between SM prediction and experiments by…
Although CP violation was discovered more than thirty years ago, its origin is still unknown. In these lectures, we describe the CP-violating effects which have been seen in K decays, and explain how CP violation can be caused by the…
We analyze the $5\sigma$ difference between the CP asymmetries of the $B^0 \to K^+ \pi^-$ and $B^+ \to K^+ \pi^0$ decays within the Soft Collinear Effective Theory. We find that in the Standard Model, such a big difference cannot be…
Treating the MSSM as an effective theory, we study the implications of having dimension five operators in the superpotential for flavor and CP-violating processes, exploiting the linear decoupling of observable effects with respect to the…
We show that the study of certain observables in the angular distribution in $B\to J/\psi K^*$ provide clear test for CP vioaltion beyond the Standard Model. These observables vanish in SM, but in models beyond SM some of them can be large…
CP-violating asymmetries in the processes e+e- -> t tbar and gamma gamma -> ttbar can provide information about CP-violating couplings of the top quark, whose presence would signal physics beyond the standard model. Work on studies of…
