The paper has been withdrawn because the result of math.QA/0002057 "Deformation quantization with traces" holds only for a constant volume form.
The discovery of the cusp effect in the decay K+ --> pi+ pi0 pi0 has spurred the search for other decay channels, where this phenomenon, which is generated by strong final-state interactions, should also occur. A very promising candidate is…
We report observations of CP violation in the decays B0 -> K+pi- and B0 -> pi+pi- in a sample of 383 million Y(4S) -> BBbar events. We find 4372 +/- 82 B0 -> K+pi- decays and measure the direct CP-violating charge asymmetry Akpi = -0.107…
We present updated measurements of branching fractions and CP-violating asymmetries for neutral B meson decays to two-body final states of charged pions and kaons. The results are obtained from a data sample of about 60 million Y(4S) to BB…
We present an improved measurement of CP-violating asymmetries in B0 -> pi+ pi- decays based on a 78/fb data sample collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. We reconstruct one…
At the present time, there are hints of new physics (NP) in several observables involving $b \to c \ell^- {\bar\nu}_\ell$ decays. In this talk, I describe measurable angular distributions for ${\bar B} \to D^* \mu^- {\bar\nu}_\mu$ and…
Using updated measurements and SU(3)-breaking form factors, we have a detailed look at the B_d -> pi^+ pi^-, B_s -> K^+ K^- and B_d -> pi^\mp K^\pm, B_s -> pi^\pm K^\mp systems. The corresponding decays are related to each other by the…
This paper has been withdrawn due to a sign error in the equation for F_11 which invalidates many results.
We report the first reconstruction of the $B^{0} \to \pi^{0} \pi^{0}$ decay mode at Belle II using samples of 2019 and 2020 data that correspond to 62.8 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity. We find $14.0^{+6.8}_{-5.6}$ signal decays,…
This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to error in equation (46).
Recently a strong indication for a deviation from the standard model (SM) has been obtained by PIBETA Collaboration. Namely, SM fails to describe the energy distribution and the branching ratio of the radiative decays of the positive pions…
A model-independent analysis for the exclusive, rare B -> pi^+ pi^- l^+ l^- decay is presented. The dependence of the various physically measurable asymmetries and CP violating asymmetry on the new Wilson coefficients is studied in detail.…
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…
Currently there are New Physics hints in mixing-induced CP violation S(phi K0), S(pi0 K0) < S(J/psi K0), unequal direct CP violation A(K+ pi-) differs A(K+ pi0), and maybe even in measured S(J/psi K0) vs prediction from global fit to other…
In this talk, I review the various measurements that have been made over the years of CP-violating observables in $B$ decays. These include indirect CP asymmetries, direct CP asymmetries, and triple products. All are discussed in the…
This paper has been withdrawn. The contents of this paper can now be found in 0907.3000, which combines the erstwhile 0901.2981 and 0901.2982 in a somewhat compact form.
We analyse the B -> pi pi, pi K modes in the light of the most recent B-factory data, and obtain the following new results: (i) the B0 -> pi+ pi-, pi- K+ modes prefer gamma=(74+-6)deg, which - together with |V_ub/V_cb| - allows us to…
This paper has been withdrawn by the author.
With U-spin symmetry, b->s and b->d penguin decays could be a subtle probe of CP violating new physics contributions. We show that, for B->PP (P stands for a pseudoscalar meson), the U-spin relation is expected to be violated for only one…
We search for the decay B0 -> rho0rho0 and other possible charmless modes with a pi+pi-pi+pi- final state, including B0 -> rho0f0(980), B0 -> f0(980)f0(980), B0 -> f0(980)pipi, B0 -> rho0pipi and non-resonant B0 -> 4pi. These results are…
