Contrary to the conventional belief, time integrated asymmetry are measurable in selected final states in the neutral $B$ system at symmetric $e^+e^-$ colliders. They occur due to the interplay of weak and strong phases of two different…
We discuss how a possible violation of the combined symmetry CPT in the B meson system can be investigated at the LHC. We show how a tagged and an untagged analysis of the decay modes of both B(d) and B(s) mesons can lead not only to a…
We study the contribution to flavor changing neutral current processes from box diagrams with light higgsinos and squarks. Starting with just the Cabbibo Kobayashi Maskawa (CKM) phase, we find contributions to the $K^0$ and $B^0$ meson mass…
In the neutral B meson system, it is possible to measure the CKM angle alpha using the decay mode b -> u ubar d in the presence of pollution from gluonic b -> d penguin decays. Here the recent status of the measurements of CP-violating…
The standard CKM model can be tested and New Physics detected using only CP-violating phase measurements in B decays. This requires the measurement of a phase factor which is small in the Standard Model, in addition to the usual large…

Decays of neutral B mesons originating from $b\to D r$ $(r\in\{s,d\})$ processes, i.e. $B_d\to DK_{S(L)}$, $B_s\to D\eta^{(')}, D\phi, ...$ $(r=s)$ and $B_s\to DK_{S(L)}$, $B_d\to D\pi^0, D\rho^0, ...$ $(r=d)$ modes, offer valuable insights…

We discuss CP asymmetries in $B^0$-meson decays and \BsBs mixing within the framework of the supersymmetric standard model (SSM). It is shown that \BdBd and \KK mixings could receive sizable new contributions through box diagrams mediated…
CP violation can be observed in B decays when a given process depends upon interference between two weak amplitudes which have different $CP$-violating phases. Since most weak decay diagrams have quark lines where each has a definite flavor…
