A large CP-violating phase uncovered recently by CDF and D$\O$ collaborations in the time-dependent CP asymmetry (CPA) of the $B_s\to J/\Psi \phi$ decay clearly indicates that a non-Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) phase has to be brought…
We confront the new physics models with extra iso-singlet down quarks in the new CP violation experimental era with $\sin{(2\beta)}$ and $\epsilon'/\epsilon$ measurements, $K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar{\nu}$ events, and $x_s$ limits. The…
We present a measurement of the branching fractions and charge-parity-(CP-) violating parameters in B -> omega K decays. The results are obtained from the final data sample containing 772 x 10^(6) BBbar pairs collected at the Y(4S)…
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…
A first study of CP violation in the decay modes $B^\pm\to [K^0_{\rm S} K^\pm \pi^\mp]_D h^\pm$ and $B^\pm\to [K^0_{\rm S} K^\mp \pi^\pm]_D h^\pm$, where $h$ labels a $K$ or $\pi$ meson and $D$ labels a $D^0$ or $\overline{D}^0$ meson, is…
In a previous publication we noted that the time dependence of an incoherent $B^0-\bar{B}^0$ mixture undergoes a qualitative change when the magnitude of CP violation $\delta$ exceeds a critical value. Requiring, on physical grounds, that…
We review recent suggestions for testing through B decays the flavor structure of CP violation in the Standard Model. Relative signs of CP asymmetries in U-spin related processes can by themselves test the Kobayashi-Maskawa mechanism in a…
We present here the CP asymmetries in the decay rate and angular distributions of $\tau\to K_S\pi\nu_\tau$ decays in the Standard Model (SM) and beyond (BSM). The CP asymmetries in the SM are induced by the CP violation in $K^0-\bar{K}^0$…
We present a new, amplitude model-independent method to measure the CP violation parameter $\gamma$ in $B^- \to DK^-$ and related decays. Information on charm interference parameters, usually obtained from charm threshold data, is obtained…
Combining the measured B_s mixing with b \to s\ell^+\ell^- rate data, we find a sizable 4 generation t' quark effect is allowed, for example with m_{t'} \sim 300 GeV and V_{t's}^*V_{t'b} \sim 0.025 e^{\pm i 70^\circ}, which could underly…
We show that new physics which breaks the left-handed SU(3)_Q quark flavor symmetry induces contributions to CP violation in Delta F = 1 couplings which are approximately universal, in that they are not affected by flavor rotations between…
The decays of top quark $t\rightarrow c\gamma,\;t\rightarrow cg,\;t\rightarrow cZ,\;t\rightarrow ch$ are extremely rare processes in the standard model (SM). The predictions on the corresponding branching ratios in the SM are too small to…
In the supersymmetric standard model, the radiative $B$-meson decay $B \to X_s \gamma$ could receive a large contribution from a new source of flavor-changing neutral current, which also violates CP invariance. The CP-conjugate processes…
We investigate the phenomenological constraints on a model where, besides the standard model Higgs sector, there is an effective new strong interaction acting on the third generation of quarks and characterized by a $\theta$-like term. This…
We analyze the effect of R-parity violation in the minimal supersymmetric standard model on the CP asymmetries in $b\to s \gamma$ decay. The direct and mixing-induced CP asymmetries arising from the lepton number violating couplings are…
We investigate the effect of supersymmetric CP violating phases on the inclusive decay B\to X_d\gamma. Although such a decay contains a large background from B\to X_s\gamma, if isolated it may exhibit sizeable CP violation, both in the…
I point out that $B \to X_q \l^+ \l^-$ decays $(q = s, d)$ are sensitive probes of possible violation of CKM unitarity. I compute the decay rates and asymmetries in a minimal extension of the Standard Model containing an additional…
Supersymmetric models with a high supersymmetry breaking scale give, in general, large contributions to epsilon_K and/or to various electric dipole moments, even when contributions to CP conserving, flavor changing processes are…
D^0-\bar{D}^0 mixing at the detectable level or significant CP violation in the charm system may strongly signify the existence of new physics. In view of the large discovery potential associated with the fixed target experiments, the…
The branching ratios and CP violations of the $B\to D\pi$ decays, including both the color-allowed and the color-suppressed modes, are investigated in detail within QCD framework by considering all diagrams which lead to three effective…
