CP violation plays a privileged role in our quest for new physics beyond the electroweak standard model (SM). In the SM the violation of CP in the weak interactions has a single source: the phase of the quark mixing matrix (the CKM matrix,…
We make a further study of $CP$ asymmetries in the pure penguin-induced decay modes $B^{-}_{u}\rightarrow K^{(*)0} + K^{(*)-}$ and $B^{-}_{u} \rightarrow \bar{K}^{(*)0} + (\pi^{-}, \rho^{-}, a^{-}_{1})$ by using the two-loop…
We discuss the correlations of charming penguin contributions to $B\to\pi\pi$, $\pi K$ and KK using approximate flavor SU(3) symmetry. Strong constraints are found from the direct CP asymmetries especially in $\pi K$ modes. We make a global…
The recently observed direct CP violation in $B_d \to K^+ \pi^-$ has raised suggestions of possible new physics. A robust test of the standard model vs. new physics is its prediction of equal direct CP violation in $B_s \to K^- \pi^+$…
The LHCb Collaboration has recently reported evidence for a CP asymmetry approaching the percent level in the difference between $D^0 \to \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $D^0 \to K^+ K^-$. We analyze this effect as if it is due to a penguin amplitude with…
In low energy SUSY theories exchange of gluino and squark with left-right mixing can produce a large gluonic dipole interaction. In this paper we study the effects of this interaction on $B\to K \pi$ using QCD improved factorization method.…
Measurements of CP asymmetries in B decays will soon be made at $B$ factories and hadron machines. In light of this, we review and update the profile of the CKM unitarity triangle and the resulting CP asymmetries in B decays. This is done…
The B_s^0 -> J/psi K_S decay has recently been observed by the CDF collaboration and will be of interest for the LHCb experiment. This channel will offer a new tool to extract the angle gamma of the unitarity triangle and to control doubly…
B decays are a subject of active research since they provide useful information on the dynamics of strong and electroweak interactions for testing the Standard Model (SM) and models beyond and are ideally suited for a critical analysis of…
We study the penguin pollution in the B^0 -> J/psi K_S decay up to leading power in 1/m_b and to next-to-leading order in \alpha_s, m_b being the b quark mass and \alpha_s the strong coupling constant. The deviation \Delta S_{J/psi K_S} of…
Recently, the CDF collaboration has reported a measurement of the CP asymmetry in the $B\to\psi K_S$ decay: $a_{\psi K_S}=0.79^{+0.41}_{-0.44}$. We analyze the constraints that follow from this measurement on the size and the phase of…
Recent results on the mixing-induced CP asymmetries of B \to \phi K^0 and B \to \eta' K_S measured at B-factories appear to indicate discrepancies from the Standard Model expectation. Explanation of this possible anomaly is given in the…
We present a preliminary measurement of the time-dependent CP asymmetry for the neutral $B$-meson decay $B^0\to\phi K^0$. We use a sample of approximately 227 million $B$-meson pairs recorded at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the BaBar…
Supersymmetric (SUSY) theories include many new parameters, some of which are CP-violating. Assuming that SUSY is found at a future high-energy collider, we examine the decay stop2 -> stop1 tau- tau+ with an eye to obtaining information…
The branching ratios and CP asymmetries of $B\to \pi\pi$ decays measured in B factory experiments indicate a large ratio of color-suppressed ($C$) to color-allowed ($T$) tree contributions and a large relative phase between the tree and…
In this paper we explore the possibility that (a) fermion masses, (b) neutrino oscillations, (c) CP non-conservation and (d) flavor violations get intimately linked to each other within supersymmetric grand unification based on SO(10) or an…
Motivated by the possibility of ${\cal S}_{\phi K_S}<0$, we study the implications for $B_s$ meson system. In a specific model that realizes ${\cal S}_{\phi K_S}<0$ with large $s$-$b$ mixing, right-handed dynamics and a new CP phase, we…
A measurement of the decay time dependent CP-violating asymmetry in $B_s^0 \to \phi\phi$ decays is presented, along with measurements of the $T$-odd triple-product asymmetries. In this decay channel, the CP-violating weak phase arises from…
The decays $B_d\to\pi^+\pi^-$ and $B_s\to K^+K^-$ provide an interesting strategy to extract the CKM angle $\gamma$ at ``second-generation'' $B$-physics experiments of the LHC era. A variant for ``first-generation'' experiments can be…
The subject of CP violation in B decays is reviewed in the Standard Model (SM) and beyond the SM. The present explanation of CP violation in terms of phases in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix can be tested through a variety of CP…
