We give a brief review of direct $CP$ violation effects in charmless $B$ decays, both at the inclusive and at the exclusive level. It is emphasized that typical exclusive final states are composed of 2--4 $K$ or $\pi$'s, hence particle…
Several experiments are about to measure the CP asymmetry for $B \to \psi K_S$ and other decays. The standard model together with the Kobayashi-Maskawa ansatz for CP violation predicts the sign as well as the magnitude for this asymmetry.…
The observed violation of $A_{CP}(B^0 \to K^+ \pi^-) = A_{CP}(B^+ \to K^+ \pi^0)$ has been recently mentioned as a puzzle for the standard model. We point out that while this violation may be accounted for by a large color-suppressed tree…
Using the generalized factorization approach, we calculate the CP asymmetries of charmless B decays. A number of decay channels has large CP asymmetries, which can be measured in the B factories.
We investigate the $B \to K^{*}\pi$ decays, one of hardly understandable processes among charmless B-meson decays, within the perturbative QCD method. Owing to the dynamically enhanced mechanism in PQCD, we obtain large branching ratios and…
We point out that, if the direct CP asymmetries in the $D \to \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $D \to K^+ K^-$ decays are unequal, the indirect CP asymmetries as measured in these modes are necessarily unequal. This nonuniversality of indirect CP…
The phenomenon of CP violation is crucial to understand the asymmetry between matter and antimatter that exists in the Universe. Dramatic experimental progress has been made, in particular in measurements of the behaviour of particles…
In this talk, we address the possibility of finding supersymmetry through indirect searches in the K and B systems. We prove that, in the absence of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa phase, a general Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with…
Supersymmetric models with nonuniversal down type squark masses can enrich the chiral structure and CP violating phenomena in $b\to s\gamma$ decays. Direct CP violation in $b\to s \gamma$, mixing induced CP violation in radiative $B_{d,s}$…
The measurement of the time-dependent CP-asymmetry of $B^0 \to K_S^0 \pi^+ \pi^- \gamma$ decays is sensitive to contributions from physics beyond the Standard Model. To translate this measurement into a constraint on new physics, it is…
We discuss CP asymmetries in $B^0$-meson decays and \BsBs mixing within the framework of the supersymmetric standard model (SSM). It is shown that \BdBd and \KK mixings could receive sizable new contributions through box diagrams mediated…
The study of CP violation in $B$-meson decays has already reached a high level of precision, which will be pushed even higher in the future era of Belle-II and the LHCb upgrade. %Important probes of CP violation are the $B_d^0$ and $B_s^0$…
We prove an approximate relation, to leading order in dominant terms, between CP-violating rate differences in $B^0/\bar{B}^0 \to K^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}$ and $B^{\pm} \to K^{\pm}\pi^0$. We show how data from these two processes may be combined in…
Effects of CP violation and of final state interactions between pairs of pseudoscalar mesons are studied in three-body B+, B-, B0 and antiB0 decays into K pi pi. An alternative approach to the isobar model for three-body B decays is…
We calculate the effect of new CP violating interactions parameterized by an anomalous $tbW$ coupling on CP-odd observables in B decays. We find that couplings consistent with current bounds induce observable effects in some CP asymmetries…
If the Standard Model explanation of CP violation is correct, then measurements of CP-violating asymmetries in $B$ meson decays can in principle determine the entire quark mixing matrix.
Examples are given of some current questions in $b$ physics to which LHC experiments may provide answers. These include (i) the precise determination of parameters of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix; (ii) measurements of CKM…
In this work, we calculate the branching ratios and CP asymmetries of the decays of $B \to \pi \pi$ and $\pi K$ in the frame of QCD factorization in the heavy quark limit. We also compare the results with the estimates by using conventional…
In the standard model, CP asymmetries in the $B^\pm \to \pi^\pm K$ channels are about 2% based on perturbative calculation. Rescattering effects might enhance it to at most (20-25)%. We show that lepton-number-violating $\lambda'$ couplings…
We review several methods for determining the Kobayashi-Maskawa phase $\gamma={\rm Arg} V^*_{ub}$ from rate and CP asymmetry measurements in hadronic B decays. We focus on the processes $B\to DK, B_s\to D_s K$, and on charmless decays to…
