On the standpoint of Occam's Razor approach, we consider the minimum number of parameters in the quark mass matrices needed for the successful CKM mixing and CP violation. We impose three zeros in the down-quark mass matrix with taking the…
We present a review of the measurements of the CKM angle beta (phi_1) by the BaBar and Belle experiments at the asymmetric-energy e+e- B Factories PEP-II and KEKB. The angle beta (phi_1) is measured by time-dependent CP analyses of neutral…
We search for the decays B0->rho0rho0, B0->rho0f0, and B0->f0f0 in a sample of about 348 million Upsilon(4S)->BBbar decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e+e- collider at SLAC. We find evidence for…

The minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model allows for some of the coupling strengths to be complex parameters. The presence of such imaginary phases can lead to violations of time reversal invariance, which can be tested if…
Assuming that the Kobayashi-Maskawa mechanism gives the dominant contribution to CP violation at low energies, we propose a novel way of testing the flavour sector of the Standard Model which has the potencial for discovering New Physics.…
We present results from an analysis of B0 to rho+rho- decays using 383.6 million BB-bar pairs collected by the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. The measurements of the B0 to rho+rho- branching fraction,…
We analyze the impact of the CP-violating observables in the $B_d\to \rho^{\pm} \pi^{\mp}$ system, combined with the precise measurement of $\sin2\beta$, in the extraction of the CKM matrix. We explore two strategies for determining the…
Following analogy of the `db' triangle in the quark mixing case, we have explored the construction of the `\nu_2.\nu_3' leptonic unitarity triangle using the Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata matrix obtained by Bjorken {\it et al.} through…
On behalf of the Babar and Belle collaborations, we report on the measurement of the angle gamma and on the sum of angles 2 beta+gamma of the Unitarity Triangle.
We reconsider the minimal supersymmetric SO(10) model, where only one {\bf 10} and one $\bar{\bf 126}$ Higgs multiplets have Yukawa couplings with matter multiplets. The model is generalized to include CP-violating phases, and examined how…
We analyse the present experimental evidence for a complex CKM matrix, even allowing for New Physics contributions to $\epsilon_{K}$, $a_{J/\Psi K_{S}}$%, $\Delta M_{B_{d}}$, $\Delta M_{B_{s}}$, and the $\Delta I=1/2$ piece of $% B\to \rho…
The area of the unitarity triangle is a measure of CP-violation. We introduce the leptonic unitarity triangles and study their properties. We consider the possibility of reconstructing the unitarity triangle in future oscillation and…
Cosmological CPT violation will rotate the polarized direction of CMB photons, convert partial CMB E mode into B mode and vice versa. It will generate non-zero EB, TB spectra and change the EE, BB, TE spectra. This phenomenon gives us a way…

In this paper, we draw constraints on the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) angle $\alpha$ and the strong phase $\delta$ from the experimental measurements of $\ssb$, the CP-violating asymmetries and branching ratios of $B \to \pi^+ \pi^-,…
As we pointed out recently, the neutral decays $B_d\to\pi^\mp K^\pm$ and $B_d\to\pi^0K$ may provide non-trivial bounds on the CKM angle $\gamma$. In this paper, we reconsider this approach in the light of recent CLEO data, which look very…
Precision studies of $0^{+} \rightarrow 0^{+}$ superallowed $\beta$ decays provide the necessary data to test stringently the CVC hypothesis. They will also provide a value for the weak vector coupling constant and the $V_{ud}$ quark mixing…
Experimental data have provided stringent constraints on neutrino mixing parameters. In the standard parameterization the mixing angle $\theta_{23}$ is close to $\pi/4$. There are also evidences show that the CP violating phase is close to…
