We discuss several aspects of direct CP asymmetries in B decays, which are very useful in spite of hadronic uncertainties in asymmetry calculations. 1) Asymmetries in decays to $D^{(*)}K^{(*)}$, $\pi^+\pi^-, \rho^+\rho^-$, providing…

We propose a theoretical framework to understand the observable charge-parity (CP) violation in charmless three-body $B^\pm$ decays. The decay amplitudes put together the $\pi\pi \to KK $ re-scattering and the U-spin symmetry, treated…

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…

The time-dependent $CP$ asymmetries of $B^0\to \pi^+\pi^-$ and $B^0_\mathrm{s}\!\to K^+K^-$ decays are measured using a data sample of $pp$ collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.9 fb$^{-1}$, collected with the LHCb…

We measure the time-dependent CP asymmetry parameters in B0 --> K+ K- K0 based on a data sample of approximately 227 million B-meson pairs recorded at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II B-meson Factory at SLAC.…

One distinguishes between "true" CP violating triple product (TP) asymmetries which require no strong phases and "fake" asymmetries which are due to strong phases but require no CP violation. So far a single true TP asymmetry has been…

We measure the time-dependent CP asymmetry in B0 --> K_S0 pi0 gamma decays for two regions of K_S0-pi0 invariant mass, m(K_S0 pi0), using the final BABAR data set of 467 x 10^6 BBbar pairs collected at the PEP-II e+e- collider at SLAC. We…

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)->…

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…

Flavor SU(3) is used to constrain the coefficients of $\sin\Delta mt$ and $\cos\Delta mt$ in the time-dependent CP asymmetry of $B^0 \to \eta' K_S$. Correlated bounds in the $(S_{\eta' K}, C_{\eta' K})$ plane are derived, by using recent…

We investigate the four-body decays $B_{(s)} \rightarrow (K\pi)_{S/P} (K\pi)_{S/P}$ in the $K\pi$-pair invariant mass region around the $K^*(892)$ resonance in the perturbative QCD (PQCD) approach, where $(K\pi)_{S/P}$ denotes a $S$- or…

We investigate systematically how to extract new physics contributions in B --> K pi l^+ l^- decay by using the angular decomposition. The decomposition will enable us to define not only several CP averaged forward-backward (FB) asymmetries…

We point out that, if the direct CP asymmetries in the $D \to \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $D \to K^+ K^-$ decays are unequal, the indirect CP asymmetries as measured in these modes are necessarily unequal. This nonuniversality of indirect CP…

We analyse the four-body $B\rightarrow \phi(\rightarrow K\bar K)K^*(\rightarrow K\pi)$ decays in the perturbative QCD approach,where the invariant mass of $K\bar K$($K\pi$) system is limited in a window of $\pm 15$ MeV ($\pm150$ MeV) around…

We review the theoretical status of the B --> pi K decays, focusing on recent developments in the QCD factorization and perturbative QCD approaches as well as on the Standard-Model correlation between the mixing-induced and direct CP…

We present an updated measurement of the time-dependent CP-violating asymmetry in B0->K0S K0S K0S decays based on 347 million Upsilon(4S)->B Bbar decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B factory at SLAC. We…

The study of local \cp \ asymmetry in Dalitz plots of charm (& beauty) decays gives us more information about the underlying dynamics than the ratio between total rates. In this paper we explore the consequences of the constraint from \cpt…

Charmless 3-body decays of B mesons are studied in a simple model based on the factorization approach. We have identified two distinct sources of nonresonant contributions: a small contribution from the tree transition and a large source of…
