We show that there is a correlation between the invariant mass of the produced \Lambda K^+, \Lambda K^+\pi^+\pi^- or \Lambda K^+ \pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^- system in the exclusive reaction pp\to p\Lambda K^+\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^- and the…
We show that the $\eta\gamma Z$ anomaly can be measured by analysing parity-violating effects in the $\eta-->\gamma\mu+\mu-$ decay. In this sense, we find that the longitudinal polarization of the outgoing $\mu^+$ is an appropriate…
In this paper, some subtleties in the measurement of the transverse polarization of the produced hadrons on symmetric colliders -- such as the Large Hadron Collider when conducting the $pp$ collisions -- are revealed. It can be proved that…
Following a previous description of Lambda and Lambda-bar polarization in unpolarized p-p interactions, within a perturbative QCD factorization scheme with new polarizing fragmentation functions, here we investigate the transverse…
We discuss the large set of observables available from the angular distributions of the decay anti-B --> anti-K*0 l+ l-. We present a NLO analysis of all observables based on the QCD factorization approach in the low-dilepton mass region…
Weak decays of beauty baryons like \Lambda_b (\bar\Lambda_b) into \Lambda (\bar\Lambda) and V (J^P = 1^-), where both decay products are polarized, offer interesting opportunities to perform tests of time reversal and CP violations and of…
In this Letter, we investigate the spontaneous transverse polarization of $\Lambda$ hyperons produced in unpolarized $pp$ collisions inside a jet, by adopting a TMD approach where transverse momentum effects are included only in the…
We show that the transverse polarization asymmetry of the $\tau$-lepton in the decay $t\rightarrow b \tau \nu$ is extremely sensitive to CP violating phases arising from the charged Higgs exchange in the Weinberg model of CP…
In the presence of an electric dipole coupling of the top quark to a photon, and an analogous "weak" dipole coupling to the Z, CP violation in the process e+e- -> t tbar leads to the polarization of the top and anti-top. This polarization…
We investigate the decay of $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda\nu\bar{\nu}$ with the polarized baryons of $\Lambda_b$ and $\Lambda$. With the most general hadronic form factors, we first study the decay branching ratio and then derive the longitudinal,…
We report the first observation of the polarization of $\Lambda/\bar{\Lambda}$ hyperons transverse to its production plane in $e^+e^-$ annihilation. We observe a significant polarization that rises with the fractional energy carried by the…
I review the theoretical basis of the prediction that the decay K_L -> pi+ pi- e+ e- should show a large CP- and T-violation, a prediction now confirmed by the KTeV experiment. The genesis of the effect lies in a large violation of CP- and…
In this paper, we study CP violation in $\Lambda_c^+\to BP$ and $\Lambda_c^+\to BV$ decays, where $B,P$ and $V$ denote a light spin-1/2 baryon, pseudoscalar and a vector meson respectively. In these processes the $T$ odd CP violating…
This paper presents an analysis of the $\Lambda^0_b\rightarrow J/\psi\Lambda$ angular distribution and the transverse production polarisation of $\Lambda^0_b$ baryons in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13…
The charged kaon decay channel K_l3gamma^+ allows for studies of direct CP violation, possibly due to non-standard mechanisms, with the help of T-odd correlation variables. In order to be able to extract a CP-violating signal from…
We propose a new experiment at the AGS to search for the T-violating polarization of the muon normal to the decay plane of the K+ to mu+ pi0 nu decay. Motivated by the need for a stronger CP violation source to account for the baryon…
The effective Hamiltonian for the decay $b\to s l^+ l^-$ predicts a characteristic polarization for the final state lepton, which can serve as an important test of the underlying theory. The lepton polarization has, in addition to a…
We examine in detail the semi-leptonic decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c \tau{\bar \nu}_{\tau}$, which may confirm previous hints, from the analogous $B$ decay, of a new physics beyond the standard model. First of all, starting from rather…
An angular analysis of the $B_s^0 \rightarrow \phi e^+e^-$ decay is performed using the proton-proton collision dataset collected between 2011 and 2018 by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9\,{\rm fb}^{-1}$…
We study CP violation in $J/\psi \rightarrow \Lambda \bar{\Lambda}$ decay. This decay provides a good place to look for CP violation. Some observables are very sensitive to the $\Lambda$ electric dipole moment $d_\Lambda$ and therefore can…
