In the standard model, we study CP violating rate asymmetries in the decay b->d l^+ l^- when one of the leptons is polarised. We find an asymmetry of (5 -- 15)% in the polarised decay spectrum which is comparable to known results for the…
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.…
In a recent paper (arXive:hep-ph/0406125) entitled {\em Parity violation in hot QCD: why it can happen, and how to look for it}, D. Kharzeev argues for the possibility of P- and/or CP- violation effects in heavy-ion collisions, the effects…
We consider the most general gauge-invariant, chirality-conserving contact interactions in the process e +e- -> gamma Z, of the type proposed Abraham and Lampe, in order to explore the possibility of CP violation at future linear colliders…
We summarize the results of two papers in which we have studied CP violation in inclusive and exclusive decays b -> d e^+e^-. Two CP-violating effects are calculated: the partial rate asymmetry between b and \bar{b} decay, and the asymmetry…
We reconsider the origin of CP violation in fundamental theory. Existing string models of spontaneous CP violation make ambiguous predictions, due to the arbitrariness of CP transformation and the apparent non-invariance of the results…
We study the sensitivity of a 500 GeV $e^+e^-$ Linear Collider to $CP$ violating anomalous couplings. We find that with 50~fb$^{-1}$, and taking only one non-zero coupling at a time, the process $e^+e^-\to W^+ W^-$ can be used to place the…
The difference between the CP asymmetries of the $B^0 \to K^+ \pi^-$ and $B^+ \to K^+ \pi^0$ decays has been recently confirmed with an evidence larger than $5\sigma$'s. We discuss it as a possible signal of new physics associated with new…
We describe a highly predictive model for supersymmetry breaking in 5 dimensions. We develop its phenomenology and the capabilities for discovery and measurement at various colliders.
We argue that one can search for physics beyond the standard model through measurements of the isospin-violating quantity $\Delta^{-0} \equiv \Gamma(B^- \to \rho^- \gamma)/2\Gamma(B^0 \to \rho^0 \gamma)-1$, its charge conjugate…
We construct a realistic model of CP violation in which CP is broken in the process of dimensional reduction and orbifold compactification from a five dimensional theories with $SU(3)\times SU(3) \times SU(3)$ gauge symmetry. CP violation…
In the standard model, CP asymmetries in the $B^\pm \to \pi^\pm K$ channels are about 2% based on perturbative calculation. Rescattering effects might enhance it to at most (20-25)%. We show that lepton-number-violating $\lambda'$ couplings…
We find a large CP violation effect within the Two-Higgs-Doublet-Model for the reaction $e^+e^-\to t\bar{t}H^0$ at future linear colliders. The CP-asymmetry arises already at the tree level as a result of interference between diagrams with…
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 recently observed direct CP violation in $B_d \to K^+ \pi^-$ has raised suggestions of possible new physics. A robust test of the standard model vs. new physics is its prediction of equal direct CP violation in $B_s \to K^- \pi^+$…
We review mixing and CP violation in $D$ mesons, emphasizing the differences with the other pseudoscalar mesons in the Standard Model, and show that $D$ mesons can be useful to look for physics beyond the Standard Model.
We investigate the sensitivity of future linear collider experiments to CP violating $WW\gamma$ couplings in the process $e^{+}e^{-} \to \nu\bar{\nu}\gamma$. We consider several sets of machine parameters: centre of mass energies $\sqrt{s}$…
We discuss the problem of observing spontaneous parity and CP violation in collision systems. We discuss and propose observables which may be used in heavy-ion collisions to observe such violations, as well as event-by-event methods to…
We study the explicit $CP$ violation of the Higgs sector in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with a gauge singlet Higgs field. The magnitude of $CP$ violation is discussed in the limiting cases of $x\gg v_1,\ v_2$ and $x\ll v_1,\…
We show that the CP-violating dipole form factors of the tau lepton can be of the order of $\alpha/\pi$ in units of the length scale set by the inverse $Z$ boson mass. We propose a few observables which are sensitive to these form factors…
