Standard Model (SM) CP asymmetries in $B \to K \ell^+ \ell^-$ are expected to be very small. This feature could help in the understanding of new physics scenarios which predict the existence of CP odd phases in various Wilson coefficients.…
Non-leptonic B_s decays into CP eigenstates that are caused by \bar b -> \bar cc\bar s quark-level transitions, such as B_s -> D_s^+D^-_s, J/psi eta^(') or J/psi phi, provide a powerful tool to search for ``new physics'', as the…
We study possible effects of new physics in CP asymmetries in two-body $B_s$ decays in left-right models with spontaneous CP violation. Considering the contributions of new CP phases to the $B_s$ mixing as well as to the penguin dominated…
We point out that time-dependent CP asymmetries in B_s to K^{*0} \bar K^{*0} decays probe the presence of new physics in b to s transitions with an unprecedented theoretical accuracy. We show that, contrary to the case of B_d to phi K_S, it…
In this work we study the CP violation for $\bar{B^0}\to J/\psi K_s$ and $\bar{B^0}\to \phi K_s$ up to leading and next-to-leading order QCD corrections in the standard model, two-Higgs-doublet model and the minimal supersymmetric extension…
We consider several hints for new physics involving CP-asymmetries in B-decays and interpret them in terms of generic contributions to effective Wilson coefficients. The effects we focus on are: the differences in the fitted value of sin(2…
This talk addresses two topics related to CP asymmetries in $D$ meson decays to two pseudoscalar mesons. First I discuss how new physics can be distinguished from the Standard Model through two sum rules relating three direct CP asymmetries…
Recent measurements of the time-dependent CP asymmetry of the B -> phi K_S decay give results whose central values differ from standard model expectations. It is shown how such data can be used to identify new physics contributions in a…
We discuss the sensitivity of the CP violating measurements at the upcoming B factories to the presence of physics beyond the Standard Model. We review the three manifestations of CP violation possible in the B meson system. We give…
The CP asymmetry in the $B \to K_S K_S K_S$ decay is being measured by the two B factories. A large deviation of the CP asymmetry $S_{K_S K_S K_S}$ from $-S_{\psi K_S}$ and/or of $C_{K_S K_S K_S}$ from zero would imply new physics in $b \to…
In this work, a comprehensive analysis for processes related to $b\to c\bar{u}q~(q=d, s)$ transitions are carried out, including new physics contributions. In light of a recent tension between branching fractions for $B_{(s)}\to…
We consider CP asymmetries in neutral $B$ meson decays to $\eta' K_S$, $\phi K_S$, and $K^+ K^- K_S$. We use SU(3) relations to estimate or bound the contributions to these amplitudes proportional to $V_{ub}^*V_{us}$. Such contributions…
Although recent experimental results in b-->s penguin process seem to be roughly consistent with the standard model predictions, there may be still large possibilities of new physics hiding in this processes. Therefore, here we investigate…
We present a novel method to search for a new CP-violating phase in b -> ss~ss~s transition using B -> phi phi Xs decays, where Xs represents a final state with a specific strange flavor such as K+/-, K*+/-, or K+/-pi-/+. Direct CP…
Direct CP violation beyond the standard model can be produced in charged D decays to final states with a $K_S$ by small new physics contributions to the transitions $D^+ \to K^o X^+$, where $X^+$ denotes any positively charged hadronic…
In this talk CP violation in the supersymmetric models, and especially in B-decays is discussed. We review our analysis of the supersymmetric contributions to the mixing CP asymmetries of $B\to \phi K_S$ and $B\to \eta^{\prime} K_S$…
The CP-violating asymmetries in the exclusive decay B->K^*l^+l^- (l=e,mu,tau) are predicted to be exceedingly small in the standard model (SM), thereby offering an opportunity to assess various new-physics scenarios. We derive quantitative…
Experimental data on rare $B$-meson decays indicate deviations from Standard Model predictions. In studies of these decays, possible new sources of CP violation are often neglected. We discuss CP violation in the rare $B$-meson decays $B\to…
We explore the possibility of using CP violation in B decays to detect the presence of physics beyond the Standard Model. We first study the possibility of new physics in the $B-\bar B$ mixing amplitude. We discuss a construction to extract…
The penguin loop-suppressed $B\to\phi K$ decays are highly sensitive to contributions of hypothetical heavy new particles. Particularly interesting probes for testing the Standard Model and revealing such phenomena are provided by CP…
