CP violation is observed to date only in K^0 decays and is parameterizable by a single quantity epsilon. Because it is one of the least understood phenomena in the Standard Model and holds a clue to baryogenesis, it must be investigated…
Complex flavour couplings (off-diagonal mass terms) in the squark sector of supersymmetric theories may drastically alter both the rate and the CP-violating asymmetry of certain B-meson decays. We consider the effects of couplings that…
We analyze possible interpretations of the recent LHCb evidence for CP violation in D meson decays in terms of physics beyond the Standard Model. On general grounds, models in which the primary source of flavor violation is linked to the…
CP violation in $B^0_s$-$\bar B^0_s$ oscillations is expected at the $10^{-5}$ level in the Standard Model but could be enhanced by New Physics. Using $B^0_s\to D_s^-\ell^+\nu_\ell$ decays, LHCb has recently reported the new result…
Within the framework of perturbative QCD approach, we study the charmless two-body decays $B\to a_1(1260)K^*, b_1(1235)K^*$. Using the decays constants and the light-cone distribution amplitudes for these mesons derived from the QCD sum…
We investigate the effect of vector quarks on the inclusive decays B -> X_d,s \gamma. We show that the branching ratio of B -> X_d \gamma can differ sizably from the SM and MSSM predictions, being enhanced to present experimental…
Motivated by the recent LHCb collaboration measurements of charmless three-body decays of $\bar B_s^0$ meson, we calculate the branching fractions of $\bar B_s ^0 \to K^0 \pi^+\pi^-$, $\bar B_s ^0 \to K^0 K^+K^-$, $\bar B_s ^0 \to K^0…
We review and update the constraints on the parameters of the quark flavour mixing matrix $V_{CKM}$ in the standard model and estimate the resulting CP asymmetries in $B$ decays, taking into account recent experimental and theoretical…
We analyze the asymmetry in the partial widths for the decays $B^{\pm} \to M {\bar M} \pi^{\pm}$ ($ M = \pi^+, K ^+, \pi^0, \eta$), which results from the interference of the nonresonant decay amplitude with the resonant amplitude for…
Within the QCD factorization approach, we study the $CP$ violations in $B^-\rightarrow K^-\pi^+\pi^-$ and $B^-\rightarrow K^- f_0(500)$ decays. We find the experimental data of the localized $CP$ asymmetry in $B^-\rightarrow K^-\pi^+\pi^-$…
The precise connection between the theoretical T, CP, CPT asymmetries, in terms of transition probabilities between the filtered neutral meson $B_d$ states and the experimental asymmetries between the double decay rate intensities for…
We present a study of the decay B- --> D0_(CP) K- and its charge conjugate, where D0_(CP) is reconstructed in CP-even, CP-odd, and non-CP flavor eigenstates, based on a sample of 232 million Y(4S) --> B Bbar decays collected with the BABAR…
We study $B_{s}\to KK$ decays in the framework of the PQCD. We show that the branching ratios of $B_{s}\to (K^+ K^-, K^0 \bar{K}^0)$ are about $(22.43, 25.78) \times 10^{-6}$ for $\phi_{3}(\gamma)\simeq72^0$, which are consistent with the…
In the limit of flavor SU(3) symmetry, the amplitudes for Bd->pi^+\pi^- and Bs-> K^+ K^- are related to one another. Taking the values of the weak phases beta and gamma from independent measurements, the ratio Rds=BR(Bs->…
We measure the branching fractions and CP asymmetries in the decays B0 --> K+K-K0S and B+ --> K+K0S K0S using a sample of approximately 122 million BBbar pairs collected by the BaBar detector. From a time-dependent analysis of the K+ K- K0S…
We study the forward-backward and the CP-violating asymmetries (both time-independent and time-dependent) in rare semileptonic $B_d\to\rho^0 l^+l^-$, $B_s\to\phi l^+l^-$, and radiative leptonic $B_{d,s}\to \gamma l^+l^-$ decays and…
We investigate the CP violating asymmetry, the forward backward asymmetry and the CP violating asymmetry in the forward-backward asymmetry for the inclusive B->X_d \ell^+\ell^- decays for the \ell=e,\mu \tau channels in the standard model.…
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 study the impact of the Randall-Sundrum setup on the width difference $\Delta\Gamma_s$ and the CP-violating phase $\phi_s$ in the $\bar B_s^0$-$B_s^0$ system. Our calculations are performed in the general framework of an effective…
Supersymmetric contribution to the CP asymmetry of B_d \to \phi K_S is re-examined. It is emphasized that our analysis takes into account the recently found constraint from the mercury electric dipole moment, in addition to the well-known…
