CP asymmetries in B_d \to D^+D^-, D^{*+}D^-, D^+D^{*-} and D^{*+}D^{*-} decays are investigated with the help of the factorization approximation and isospin relations. We find that the direct CP violation is governed only by the…
We study the direct CP violation effect in the decay mode $B^+ \to \phi K^+$. This decay mode is dominated by the loop induced $\bar b \to \bar s s \bar s$ penguin diagram with a tiny contribution from annihilation diagram. Therefore, the…
Recently, the LHCb and CDF collaborations reported a surprisingly large difference between the direct CP asymmetries, Delta A_CP, in the D0 -> K+ K- and D0 -> pi+ pi- decay modes. An interesting question is whether this measurement can be…
Direct CP violation in two-body $D\to PP$ and $D\to V\!P$ decays is studied within the framework of the topological amplitude approach for tree amplitudes and the QCD factorization approach for penguin amplitudes. It is the interference…
The LHCb and CDF collaborations reported a surprisingly large difference between the direct CP asymmetries, Delta A_CP, in the D0 -> K+ K- and D0 -> pi+ pi- decay modes. We show that this measurement can be plausibly explained within the…
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 $pp$…
Direct CP violation in B^0-> K^+\pi^- decay has emerged at -10% level, but the asymmetry in B^+ -> K^+\pi^0 mode is consistent with zero. This difference points towards possible New Physics in the electroweak penguin operator. We point out…
In this paper we investigate CP violation in charged decays of $D$ meson. Particularly, we study the direct CP asymmetry of the Cabibbo favored non-leptonic $D^+ \rightarrow \bar K^0 \pi^+$ and the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay mode $D^+…
We investigate the possibility of observing direct CP violation in self-tagging B-meson decays of the type b -> d J/\psi. The CP asymmetry can be generated due to strong or electromagnetic scattering in the final state, or due to long…
With the time dependant CP asymmetry in $B_d(t) \to \psi K_S$ well measured, the most powerful method to search for {\em direct} CP violation in $B_d$ decays is to analyze whether the CP asymmetry of other transitions like $B_d(t) \to \pi…
The recently observed direct CP violation in $B_d \to K^+ \pi^-$ has raised suggestions of possible new physics. A robust test of the standard model vs. new physics is its prediction of equal direct CP violation in $B_s \to K^- \pi^+$…
We study the hadronic decay modes $B^{\pm(0)} \to f_0(980) K^{\pm(0)} $, involving a scalar and a pseudoscalar meson in the final state. These decay modes are dominated by the loop induced $ b \to s \bar q q(q=s,u,d)$ penguins along with a…
The LHCb collaboration has recently reported the first observation of CP violation in the penguin-dominated $B^0_s\to K^-K^+$ decay and further new measurements, indicating differences between the direct CP asymmetries of both the $B^0_s\to…

LHCb, CDF and most recently Belle have observed a large difference between direct CP asymmetries in $D^0\to K^+K^-$ and $D^0\to\pi^+\pi^-$. We use the measured value of $\Delta A_{CP}$ to constrain the magnitude and strong phase of a…
We report updated measurements of indirect and direct CP asymmetry in decays $D^0 \to K^+K^-,\pi^+\pi^-$ and a new measurement of direct and indirect CP asymmetry in decays $D^0 \to \pi^0\pi^0$, using the full data sample of the Belle…
We re-examine direct CP violation in the quasi-two-body $D\to V\!P$ decays and study CP asymmetries in three-body $D$ decays proceeding through intermediate vector resonances within the framework of the topological amplitude approach for…
