Using data from the FOCUS (E831) experiment at Fermilab, we present a new measurement of the weak decay-asymmetry parameter alpha(Lambdac) in Lambdac --> Lambda pi decay. Comparing particle with antiparticle decays, we obtain the first…
A search for $C\!P$ violation in $\Lambda^0_b \to p K^-$ and $\Lambda^0_b \to p \pi^-$ decays is presented using a sample of $pp$ collisions collected with the LHCb detector and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$.…
We study the capability of a $2 TeV$ $p\overline{p}$ collider with an integrated luminosity of $10 fb^{-1}$ to study CP violation in the processes $p \bar{p} \ra W^\pm \gamma$ and $p \bar{p} \ra Z \gamma$. We assume the existence of new CP…
Within the Standard Model (SM) one predicts both direct and indirect CP violation in D^0 \to \pi^+\pi^-, K^+K^- transitions, although the effects are tiny: Indirect CP asymmetry cannot exceed O(10^{-4}), probably even O(10^{-5}); direct…
We review experimental and theoretical aspects of CP violation in the $B_s^0$-system. In that respect we present updates for the mixing parameters of the $B_s^0$ mesons expected in the Standard Model (SM): the mass difference $\Delta…

We consider CP violating effects in decays of the type $B^\pm\to \gamma a^\pm_{1,2}$ where $a_{1,2}$ are the $J^P=1^+$ and $2^+$ resonances each decaying to the common final state via $a^\pm_{1,2} \to\pi^\pm\rho^0$. The resonances enhance…
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 study the CP-violating asymmetry {\cal A}_{\rm CP}, which arises, in \eta\to\pi^+\pi^- e^+e^-, from the angular correlation of the e^+ e^- and \pi^+\pi^- planes due to the interference between the magnetic and electric decay amplitudes.…
Searches for experimental manifestations of CP violation have born much fruit in recent years with the discovery of direct CP violation and the first evidence of CP violation outside of the neutral kaon system. Nevertheless we still know…
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…
In this paper, we study the Cabibbo favored non-leptonic $D^0$ decays into $K^- \pi^+$ decays. First we show that, within the Standard Model, the corresponding CP asymmetry is strongly suppressed and out of the experimental range even…
We comment on the implications of the recently measured CP asymmetry in B --> Phi K_S decay. The data disfavor the Standard Model at 2.7 sigma and -if the trend persists in the future with higher statistics - require the existence of CP…
We calculate the CP-violating asymmetries A(Lambda_-^0) and A(Xi_-^-) in nonleptonic hyperon decay within the Standard Model using the framework of heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory (chiPT). We identify those terms that correspond to…
The leading order contribution to the direct CP asymmetry in tau^{+/-} -> K^{+/-} pi^0 nu_{tau} decay rates is evaluated within the Standard Model. The weak phase required for CP violation is introduced through an interesting mechanism…
CP violation is an important tool to test the Standard Model and his extensions. We describe kaon physics observables testing CP violation and more in general short distance physics. Channels under consideration will be K -> pi nu nu, K ->…

We investigate the CP violating asymmetry, the forward backward asymmetry and the CP violating asymmetry in the forward-backward asymmetry for the inclusive B->X_d \ell^+\ell^- decays for the \ell=e,\mu \tau channels in the standard model.…
Indirect CP violation in the $D^0$ system can be probed by measuring the parameter $A_{\Gamma}$, defined as the CP asymmetry of the effective lifetime of the $D^0$ meson decaying to a CP eigenstate. This can be significantly enhanced beyond…
In this paper, we study CP violation in $\Lambda_c^+\to BP$ and $\Lambda_c^+\to BV$ decays, where $B,P$ and $V$ denote a light spin-1/2 baryon, pseudoscalar and a vector meson respectively. In these processes the $T$ odd CP violating…
