We construct for the first time a flavor model, based on the smallest discrete symmetry Delta(27) that implements spontaneous CP violation with a complex phase of geometric origin, which can actually reproduce all quark masses and mixing…
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 leading order contribution to the direct CP asymmetry in tau^{+/-} -> K^{+/-} pi^0 nu_{tau} decay rates is evaluated within the Standard Model. The weak phase required for CP violation is introduced through an interesting mechanism…
As the LHC becomes a top-quark factory and enters the era of precision measurements it presents us with a unique opportunity to search for new sources of CP violation. I discuss T-odd triple product correlations and the special role they…
We consider the possibility of observing CP violation in quasi-inclusive decays of the type $B^-\to K^- X$, $B^-\to K^{*-} X$, $\bar B^0\to K^- X$ and $\bar B^0\to K^{*-} X$, where $X$ does not contain strange quarks. We present estimates…
The spontaneous violation of the CP symmetry in the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard Model (NMSSM) is investigated. It is found that the spontaneous violation of the CP symmetry can occur in the Higgs sector of the NMSSM for a wide…
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 explore the possible enhancement of direct CP violating parameter epsilon'/epsilon in the general left-right model based on the SU(2)_L times SU(2)_R times U(1) gauge group. The mixing matrix of right-handed quarks, V_{CKM}^R is…
We study the effects of CP violation on the nature of the chiral transition within the linear sigma model with two flavors of quarks. The finite-temperature effective potential containing contributions from nontrivial values for the…
The CP violation required in leptogenesis may have different origin, but in an effective theory they all are related to the rephasing invariant CP violating measure in the mixing matrix of the leptonic sector. We point out that the maximum…
In the present document a selected sample of the latest results on CP violation by the LHCb collaboration are presented. These include the first measurement of $\phi_s^{c\overline{c}s} = 0.119 \pm0.107\pm0.034$ rad in a final state…
The $B \to \pi K$ system provides a rich laboratory for testing the Standard Model and studying CP violation. A particularly important channel is $B^0_d\to\pi^0 K_{\rm S}$, the only mode exhibiting both direct and mixing-induced CP…
Recent developments concerning CP violation beyond the Standard Model are reviewed. The central target of this presentation is the $B$ system, as it plays an outstanding role in the extraction of CKM phases. Besides a general discussion of…
We show that the quark flavour structure and CP violating phenomena are strongly correlated in supersymmetric theories. For a generic pattern of supersymmetry breaking the two broad categories of Yukawa couplings, democratic and…
The $B_K$ parameter is discussed in the general context of calculating beyond the factorization approximation for hadronic matrix elements. A variant of the $1/N_c$ method of Bardeen et al. is used. We present calculations within a low…
We study rare exclusive B decays based on the quark-level transition b->s(d)l^+l^-, where l=e or mu, in the context of supersymmetric theories with minimal flavour violation. We present analytic expressions for various mixing matrices in…
A symmetry transformation is well defined in the case of an invariant theory, being the corresponding operator undetermined otherwise. However, we show that, even with CP violation, it is possible to determine the CP transformation by…
We study the direct CP violation effect in the decay mode $B^+ \to \phi K^+$. This decay mode is dominated by the loop induced $\bar b \to \bar s s \bar s$ penguin diagram with a tiny contribution from annihilation diagram. Therefore, the…
We address the question of the relation between supersymmetry breaking and the origin of flavor in the context of CP violating phenomena. We prove that, in the absence of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa phase, a general Minimal Supersymmetric…
In this paper we study CP violation in $B\to PP$ decays in the Standard Model using SU(3) flavor symmetry. With SU(3) symmetry only seven hadronic parameters are needed to describe $B\to PP$ decays in the SM when annihilation contributions…
