Since the CP violation in the $B$ system has been investigated up to now only through processes related to the $B$--$\bar{B}$ mixing, urgently required is new way of study for the CP violation and establishing its origin in the $B$ system…
We present standard model (SM) estimates for exclusive $c \to u \gamma$ processes in heavy quark and hybrid frameworks. Measured branching ratios ${\cal{B}}(D^0 \to (\phi, \bar K^{*0}) \gamma)$ are at or somewhat exceeding the upper range…
The time-dependent CP asymmetry in exclusive B^0(t) -> K^{*0}\gamma decays has been proposed as a probe of new physics in B decays. Recently, this method was extended to radiative decays into multibody hadronic final states such as B^0(t)->…
We show that the CKM phase $2 \beta+\gamma$ can be extracted from measurement of the time dependent rates in the decays $\bar{B}^0 \to D^{(*)\pm} M^\mp$ and $B^0 \to D^{(*)\pm} M^\mp$, where $M=a_0$, $\pi(1300)$, $b_1$, $a_2$, $\pi_2$,…

We consider $b \to s \gamma$ decays in the Left-Right Symmetric Model. Values of observables sensitive to chiral structure such as the $\Lambda$ polarization in the $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \gamma$ decays and the mixing-induced CP asymmetries…
We demonstrate that the long distance contribution to $B^{\pm} \to \rho^{\pm} \gamma$ may have a large effect on the decay rate and through it on the CP violating partial rate asymmetry. The change in the asymmetry can be between a factor…
Time-dependent CP asymmetries in $B^0$ decays from interference of $B^0$-$\bar B^0$ mixing and $b\to c\bar cs, u\bar ud, sq\bar q$, and direct asymmetries from interference of $b\to c\bar us$ and $b\to u\bar cs$ are studied, improving…
Exclusive weak radiative B meson decays are studied using the covariant oscillator quark model. The branching ratios for the processes B0 to K*0 gamma and B to K* gamma have been estimated. These are in reasonable agreement with the…
In this work, we study possible new contributions to $\epsilon_{K}$ and $\epsilon_{B}$ in the MSSM with large supersymmetric phases. We show that, in the CMSSM, the constrains coming from the experimental measure of the $b \to s \gamma$…
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…
In this article, I review the recent results for inclusive and exclusive measurements for $b\to s\gamma$ and $b\to d\gamma$ decays from $B$ factories Belle and Babar. I describe the measurement of branching fraction and direct CP violating…
A difference of several tenths of a percent has been observed between the direct CP asymmetries of $D^0\to K^+K^-$ and $D^0\to \pi^+\pi^-$. It has been noted recently that CP asymmetries in such singly-Cabibbo-suppressed (SCS) decays can…
The present paper deals with a next-to-leading order analysis of the radiative $B \to K^* \gamma$ decay. Working in the PQCD approach developed by Szczepaniak {\it et al.}, we compute the correction, coming from a single gluon exchange with…
The paper deals with a next-to-leading order analysis of the radiative $B \to K^* \gamma$ decay. Working in a PQCD approach, we compute the correction to the essential form factor, coming from a single gluon exchange with the spectator. We…
We study a rate asymmetry in the inclusive decay $\Bsgamma$, assuming the supersymmetric standard model based on N=1 supergravity. A complex coefficient $A$ for scalar-trilinear couplings is the source of CP violation, which is contained in…
We investigate the possibility that the CP violation due to the soft supersymmetry breaking terms in squark mixing can give significant contributions to the various $\gamma$ related parameters in B decays, different from those of the…
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 investigate the effect of supersymmetric CP violating phases on the inclusive decay B\to X_d\gamma. Although such a decay contains a large background from B\to X_s\gamma, if isolated it may exhibit sizeable CP violation, both in the…
We report the first measurement of CP-violation parameters in $B^0\to\rho^0\gamma$ decays based on a data sample of $657\times 10^6 B\bar{B}$ pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+ e^-$ collider. The…
