The effect of lepton transverse polarization in the B^0 --> D^- l^+ nu_l, B^+ --> bar(D^0) l^+ nu_l decays (l= tau, mu) is analyzed within the framework of Standard Model in the leading order of HQET. It is shown that the non-zero…

A search for $C\!P$ violation in the decay $\Lambda^0_b \to p K^- \mu^+ \mu^-$ is presented. This decay is mediated by flavour-changing neutral-current transitions in the Standard Model and is potentially sensitive to new sources of $C\!P$…
CP-violating effects in decays of B mesons offer a wide spectrum of probes for testing the phase structure of the quark-flavour sector of the Standard Model. After a brief discussion of the picture emerging from the current LHC data, the…
