We report on a search for direct CP asymmetry in the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decay D+- --> K+ K- pi+- using a data sample of 476 fb-1 accumulated with the BaBar detector running at and just below the Y(4S) resonance. The CP-violating…

In this paper we investigate CP violation in charged decays of $D$ meson. Particularly, we study the direct CP asymmetry of the Cabibbo favored non-leptonic $D^+ \rightarrow \bar K^0 \pi^+$ and the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay mode $D^+…

The rare decay $K_L\to\pi^0\nu\bar\nu$ is dominated by direct CP violation and can be computed with extraordinarily high precision. In principle also a CP conserving contribution to this process can arise within the Standard Model. We…

A self-consistent analysis of K --> 2pi and K --> 3pi decays within a unique framework of chiral dynamics applied to the QCD-corrected weak nonleptonic quark lagrangian has been performed. The results on K --> 2pi amplitudes at O(p^6),…

We present a reanalysis of direct CP violation in the decay K_L -> pi^+ pi^- gamma. We point out an existing discrepancy between the theoretical and experimental definitions of epsilon'_{+-gamma}. Adopting the experimental definition of…

We report a Dalitz-plot analysis of the charmless hadronic decays of charged B mesons to the final state K+/- pi+/- pi-/+. Using a sample of 383.2 +/- 4.2 million BBbar pairs collected by the BaBar detector, we measure CP-averaged branching…

In this lecture, I will review results on the study of direct CP violation- where the violation occurs in a particle decay rather than in particle-anti particle mixing. Brief comments on rare decays, particularly those with a CP reach, will…

We study CP violation and the contribution of the strong kaon-pion interactions in the three body B --> K pi+ pi- decays. We extend our recent work on the effect of the two-pion S- and P-wave interactions to that of the corresponding…

We present an updated analysis of the rare decay $K_{L}\to\pi^{0}\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ within the Standard Model. In particular, we present the first complete calculation of the two-photon CP-conserving amplitude within Chiral Perturbation…

We study the hadronic decay modes $B^{\pm(0)} \to f_0(980) K^{\pm(0)} $, involving a scalar and a pseudoscalar meson in the final state. These decay modes are dominated by the loop induced $ b \to s \bar q q(q=s,u,d)$ penguins along with a…

We point out that in supersymmetric models the direct CP violating asymmetry $A(\Lambda^0_-)$ in $\Lambda \to \pi^- p$ can be of $O(10^{-3})$ in the range to be probed by the current E871 experiment.

We study the direct CP violation in $B^\pm\to p\bar p K^{(*)\pm}$ decays in the standard model. We point out that these three-body baryonic B decays can be important tools for detecting the direct CP violation in the charged $B$ system, in…

Motivated by the $3.8\sigma$ deviation from no CP violation hypothesis for the CP asymmetry (CPA) difference between $D^0\to K^+ K^-$ and $D^0\to \pi^+ \pi^-$, reported recently by LHCb and CDF, we investigate the CP violating effect due to…

We present a novel dynamics for generating sizable CP-violating asymmetries in the decays of charged $B^\mp\to \pi^\mp \omega, \pi^\mp\rho^0, \pi^0\rho^\mp$, and in $\bar{B^0}(B^0)\to\pi^\mp\rho^\pm$. The dynamics for the necessary…

In this paper we study the direct CP asymmetry of the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay mode $D^0 \to K^+ \pi^- $ within standard model and two Higgs doublet model with generic Yukawa structure. In the standard model we derive the corrections…

The LHCb and CDF Collaborations have recently reported evidence for a CP asymmetry around -0.7% in $\Delta A_{CP}$, the difference between $A_{CP}(D^0 \to K^+ K^-)$ and $A_{CP}(D^0 \to \pi^+\pi^-)$. In the Standard Model this effect may be…

We report on a search for CP violation in the decay $ D^\pm \to K^0_{\scriptscriptstyle S} \pi^\pm $ using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $ 469\,\,fb^{-1} $ collected with the \slshape B\kern-0.1em{\smaller…

The decay K_L -> pi0 gamma e+ e- occurs at a it higher rate than the nonradiative process K_L -> pi0 e+ e-, and hence can be a background to CP violation studies using the latter reaction. It also has an interest in its own right in the…

We review recent experimental results on direct CP violation. The hot topic is a measurement in charmless two-body decays of B0, B+. In connection to this the first analogous measurements in Bs0 and Lambda_b0 decays are now available.…

Evidence of CP violation in the charm sector has been observed recently by the LHCb and CDF Collaborations. The issue of whether it can be accommodated within the standard model (SM) is examined in this talk. We conclude that the CP…
