We study T-violating triple-product asymmetries in the quark-level decay b -> s u u(bar) within the standard model (SM). We find that only two types of triple products are non-negligible. The asymmetry in p_u . [s_u x s_u(bar)] or p_u(bar)…
We revisit the effect of CP violating anomalous top-quark couplings in $t\bar{t}$ production and decay. We consider $t\bar{t}$ production through gluon fusion (and light $q{\bar q}$ annihilation) followed by top-quark decay into $bW$ or…
We adopt an effective-lagrangian approach to compute the new-physics contributions to T-violating triple-product correlations in charmless Lambda_b decays. We use factorization and work to leading order in the heavy-quark expansion. We find…
We study $T$ violation in the three-body charmless baryonic decay of $\bar B^0 \ra \Lambda \bar p \pi^+$ through the $T$-odd triple product correlation in the standard model. We find that the $T$ violating asymmetry is 10%, which is…
Using factorization, we compute, within the standard model, the T-violating triple-product correlations in the charmless decays Lambda_b -> F_1 F_2, where F_1 is a light spin-1/2 baryon and F_2 is a pseudoscalar (P) or vector (V) meson. We…
We study Lambda_b --> Lambda pi pi. The branching fraction is predicted to be about 4.38 x 10^{-6}%. Within the standard model, we compute T-odd triple product asymmetries to be about 1.4, 4.3, 6.5 and 7.2% respectively due to…
One distinguishes between "true" CP violating triple product (TP) asymmetries which require no strong phases and "fake" asymmetries which are due to strong phases but require no CP violation. So far a single true TP asymmetry has been…
We consider CP-violating effects in tau->K pi pi nu_tau, assuming that a charged Higgs boson provides a new amplitude that can interfere with the usual Standard Model amplitude. We consider four CP-odd observables -- the regular rate…
The results of a first search for CP violation in the production and decay of top quark-antiquark (t t-bar) pairs are presented. The search is based on asymmetries in T-odd, triple-product correlation observables, where T is the…
In this paper we examine T-violating triple-product correlations (TP's) in B -> V1 V2 decays. TP's are excellent probes of physics beyond the standard model (SM) for two reasons: (i) within the SM, most TP's are expected to be tiny, and…
The polarizations of Lambda and anti-Lambda are thought to retain memories of the spins of their parent s quarks and antiquarks, and are readily measurable via the angular distributions of their daughter protons and antiprotons.…
A search for $C$P and $P$ violation using triple-product asymmetries is performed with $\Lambda^{0}_{b}\to pK^{-}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$, $\Lambda^{0}_{b}\to pK^{-}K^{+}K^{-}$ and $\Xi^{0}_{b}\to pK^{-}K^{-}\pi^{+}$ decays. The data sample…
The minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model allows for some of the coupling strengths to be complex parameters. The presence of such imaginary phases can lead to violations of time reversal invariance, which can be tested if…
Assuming an existence of an anomalous triple electro-weak bosons interaction being defined by coupling constant $\lambda$, we calculate its contribution to interactions of the Higgs with pairs of heavy particles. Bearing in mind…
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…
The T-odd triple product (TP) asymmetries in B decays to a pair of vector mesons are treated as a good probe of CP violation because of the CPT symmetry. If CPT is no longer a good symmetry, such correlations between T-odd and CP-odd…
We examine loop-mediated effects of new heavy quarks Q=(t',b') on t tbar production at hadron colliders, using a phenomenological model with flavor off-diagonal couplings of charged and neutral scalars phi=(phi^+-,phi^0) to Q. We show that…
This paper explores a new mechanism for B production in which a b quark combines with a light parton from the hard-scattering process before hadronizing into the B hadron. This recombination mechanism can be calculated within perturbative…
The reaction $p\bar p\to t\bar bX$ is found to be rather rich in exhibiting several different types of CP asymmetries. The spin of the top quark plays an important role. Asymmetries are related to form factors arising from radiative…
We study the T odd correlations induced by CP violating anomalous top-quark couplings at both production and decay level in the process gg --> t t_bar --> (b mu+ nu_mu) (b_bar mu- nu_mu_bar). We consider several counting asymmetries at the…
