This work gives a general overview of phenomenology developed for neutral-meson searches for CPT violation in the framework of the Standard-Model Extension with focus on meson factories. It gives a comparison of notations and fundamental…
Experimental data on rare $B$-meson decays indicate deviations from Standard Model predictions. In studies of these decays, possible new sources of CP violation are often neglected. We discuss CP violation in the rare $B$-meson decays $B\to…
Distinguishing the flavor of $B$ and $\overline B$ hadrons is critical in studies of CP-violation, $B^0 -\overline{B^0}$ mixing, and the underlying $b$-decay mechanisms. Methods of $b$ ``flavor tagging" are broadly divided into ``opposite…
We study breakdown of $CPT$ symmetry which can occur in the decay process $B \bar B \to l^\pm X^\mp f$ with $f$ being a CP eigenstate. In this process, the standard model expectations for time ordered semi-leptonic and hadronic events, i.e.…
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…
Recently, the Babar and Belle collaborations have reported their first measurements of the CP-violating asymmetry in Bd --> psi KS, and more precise results will follow soon. We discuss what a future evidence for small sin(2 beta) could…
B factories measure the CP violation parameter of B^0 Bbar^0 mixing and decay. Hadron colliders measure the dimuon charge asymmetry of an admixture of B hadrons. In this note we discuss a subtle point on how the CP violation parameter of…
Phenomenological CP-violating parameters in decays of neutral B-mesons are discussed. Special attention is given to the degree of their measurability. We emphasize important role of the sign of $\Delta m_B$ and suggest how it could be…
Quantum field theory, which is the basis for all of particle physics, requires that all processes respect $CPT$ invariance. It is therefore of paramount importance to test the validity of $CPT$ conservation. In this Letter, we show that the…
We analyze the impact of the forthcoming CP-violating observables in the $B_s\to K^+ K^-$ system, combined with the precise measurement of $\sin2\beta$ , in the extraction of the CKM matrix. Computing the penguin parameters $(r, \theta)$…
These lectures present the phenomenology of B meson decays and their impact on our understanding of CP violation in the quark sector, with an emphasis on measurements made at the e+e- B factories. Some of the relevant theoretical ideas such…
We address the presently reported significant flavor anomalies in the Kaon and $B$ meson systems such as the CP violating Kaon decay ($\epsilon'/\epsilon$) and lepton-flavor universality violation in $B$ meson decays…
The conclusions summarize the main, but not all, aspects of a two-days workshop held at MITP Mainz. The four covered aspects are T violation in decays of neutral B mesons, T and CPT studies in B0B0bar transitions with Belle, future…
This article summarises measurements of time-dependent CP asymmetries in decays of neutral B mesons to charm final states using data collected by the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B-factory. All results are preliminary…
We demonstrate how one may identify or constrain possible violation of $CP$, $T$ and $CPT$ symmetries in the $K^0$-$\bar{K^0}$ system in a way as phenomenological and comprehensive as possibie. For this purpose, we first introduce…
We present an improved measurement of the standard model CP violation parameter sin2phi1 (also known as sin2beta) based on a sample of 45x10^6 BBbar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB…
In top-pair events where at least one of the tops decays semi-leptonically, the identification of the lepton charge allows to tag not only the top charge but also that of the subsequent b quark. In cases where the b also decays…
It was recently pointed out that inclusive B^0(t) decays could show CP violation. The totally inclusive asymmetry is expected to be tiny [O(10^{-3})] because of large cancellations among the asymmetries in the charmless, single charm and…
In a recent paper, Banuls and Bernabeu have claimed the existence of a new form of indirect CP violation which would have its most prominent manifestation in the $B_d$-$\bar B_d$ system. I analyse this claim in detail. I emphasize the fact…
This review of CP violation focuses on the status of the subject and its likely future development through experiments in the Kaon system and with B-decays. Although present observations of CP violation are perfectly consistent with the CKM…
