In order to detect the possible presence of $\Delta B = - \Delta Q$ amplitudes in neutral $B$ meson decays, we consider the measurement of decay time asymmetries involving like-sign dilepton events at the $B$ factories.
We estimate the product of the relative strength of the $\Delta B = -\Delta Q$ amplitude in the decay $B_d^0 \rightarrow D^{*} \ell \bar \nu_{\ell }$ and the width-difference parameter $y$. For this we have used the data on time-dependence…
We report a precise determination of the B0-B0bar mixing parameter Delta-m_d based on the time evolution of same-sign and opposite-sign dilepton yields in Upsilon(4S) decays. Data were collected with the Belle detector at KEKB. Using data…
We show that new physics, either from CPT violation in B^0-\bar{B}^0 mixing or from \Delta B = -\Delta Q transitions, may lead to an opposite-sign dilepton asymmetry of neutral B-meson decays. Both effects have the same time-dependent…
Recent CDF and D0 measurements of B^0_s-\bar{B}^0_s mixing make it possible to search for CP violation and test CPT symmetry in a variety of B_s decays. Considering both coherent B^0_d\bar{B}^0_d decays at the \Upsilon (4S) resonance and…
We report a determination of the B0d - B0d-bar mixing parameter Delta-m_d based on the time evolution of dilepton yields in Upsilon(4S) decays. The measurement is based on a 5.9 /fb data sample collected by the Belle detector at KEKB. The…
A preliminary study of time dependence of B^0-anti-B^0 oscillations using dilepton events is presented. The flavor of the B meson is determined by the charge sign of the lepton. To separate signal leptons from cascade and fake leptons we…
Considering semileptonic decays of the entangled B^0 \bar B^0 state which is generated in the decay of Upsilon(4S), we simply multiply the quantum-mechanical interference term by a factor (1-\zeta) and use the ``decoherence parameter''…

Within the standard model we carry out an analysis of $CP$-violating observables in neutral $B$-meson decays at the $\Upsilon (4S)$ resonance. Both time-dependent and time-integrated $CP$ asymmetries are calculated, without special…
The status of possible new-physics signals in B_s,d-meson mixing and decay is reviewed. In particular, it is emphasized that the recent LHCb results, that find no evidence for a non-standard phase in B_s-barB_s mixing, make a consistent…
The in-medium partial decay widths of $\Upsilon (4S) \rightarrow B\bar B$ in magnetized asymmetric nuclear matter are studied using a field theoretic model for composite hadrons with quark (and antiquark) constituents. The medium…
