We study a class of quark mass matrix models with the $\cal CP$-violating phase determined through making the $\cal CP$-violating parameter $J$ an extremum. These models assume that $m_u \ll m_c \ll m_t$ and that $m_d \ll m_s \ll m_b$. They…

We update our 1993 analysis of the CP violating ratio $\epe$ in view of the changes in several input parameters, in particular the improved value of the top quark mass. We also investigate the strange quark mass $m_s$ dependence of $\epe$…

We present a reanalysis of the allowed region in the $\rho - \eta \,$ plane of the CKM matrix, which follows from our present knowledge of the theoretical and experimental parameters associated with quark mixing and CP violation. Besides…
We have calculated the short distance QCD coefficient \eta_3 of the effective |\Delta S|=2-hamiltonian in the next-to-leading order. Since now all coefficients \eta_1, \eta_2 and \eta_3 are known beyond the leading log approximation, one…
We analyze the theoretical implications of the new KTeV measurement of direct CP-violation in K->pi pi decays. The result is found consistent with the Standard Model for low values of the strange quark mass m_s. If the hadronic parameters…
We demonstrate that in the class of models with Constrained Minimal Flavour Violation (CMFV), in which the CKM matrix is the only source of CP violation and B^0_q-\bar B^0_q mixings (q=d,s) are described by a single operator (\bar b…
In Standard Model, CP violation arises from an irreducible complex phase in the quark mixing matrix, now under the name Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix. This description has shown remarkably overall agreement with various experimental…
We review the highlights of quark mixing, particle-antiparticle mixing, CP violation and rare K- and B-decays in the Standard Model. The top quark discovery, the precise measurement of its mass, the improved knowledge of the couplings…
The complete analysis of the CP violation in the process $\gamma \gamma \to t \bar{t}$ in frame of the Minimal Supersymmetric Model(MSSM) is presented. The CP-odd observables for describing the CP violating effects in polarized and…
A physically viable ansatz for quark mass matrices must satisfy certain constraints, like the constraint imposed by CP-violation. In this article we study a concrete example, by looking at some generic matrices with a nearly democratic…
We investigate CP violation in the purely right-handed b quark to c- and u- quark coupling model under the constraint of right-handed W-gauge boson mass M_R > 720 GeV , which is experimentally obtained recently by D0 Collaboration at…
The recent analysis of the electroweak data at CDF indicates that the constraint on the top quark mass is $m_t=174\pm 17 $GeV. We accommodate this result in a new scheme of quark mass matrices in which two elements along the the leading…
We study a decay rate asymmetry of the top quark in the supersymmetric standard model, taking into account the constraints from the electric dipole moments of the neutron and the electron. One CP-violating phase contained in the…

CP violation in top physics is reviewed. The Standard Model has negligible effects, consequently CP violation searches involving the top quark may constitute the best way to look for physics beyond the Standard Model. Non-standard sources…

We calculate the CP-violating effects in the top quark semi-leptonic three body decays induced by the supersymmetric CP-odd phase of the top squark trilinear soft breaking term $\arg(A_t)$. The light top squark mass is assumed to be close…
The observation of CP violation in meson decays is a testament to the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) quark mixing paradigm, and an integral part of the Standard Model (SM). The SM also predicts the existence of CP violation in baryon…
