We discuss the possibility that CPT violation may appear as a consequence of microscopic decoherence due to quantum-gravity effects, that we describe using a density-matrix formalism motivated by our studies of non-critical string theory.…
In the minimal Left-Right model the choice of left-right symmetry is twofold: either generalized parity $\mathcal P$ or charge conjugation $\mathcal C$. In the minimal model with spontaneously broken strict $\mathcal P$, a large tree-level…
In a recent paper, Banuls and Bernabeu have claimed the existence of a new form of indirect CP violation which would have its most prominent manifestation in the $B_d$-$\bar B_d$ system. I analyse this claim in detail. I emphasize the fact…
It is shown that there is a possibility of violation of CPT symmetry in the Standard Model which does not contradict to the famous CPT theorem. To check this possibility experimentally it is necessary to increase the precision of…
Recently we proposed a framework for explaining the observed evidence for neutrino oscillations without enlarging the neutrino sector, by introducing CPT violating Dirac masses for the neutrinos. In this paper we continue the exploration of…
We examine certain extensions of the standard model in which $CP$ violation is spontaneous and the strong $CP$ problem is resolved. In these models, the $3 \times 3$ quark mixing matrix is neither real nor unitary. However, to a precision…
A theoretical framework extending QED in the context of the standard model is used to analyze a variety of Lorentz and CPT tests in atomic systems. Experimental signatures of possible Lorentz and CPT violation in these systems are…
I present a review of current and near-future experimental investigations of CP violation. In this review, I cover limits on particle electric dipole moments (EDMs) and CP violation studies in the K and B systems. The wealth of results from…
Using primarily experimental inputs for S(B -> psi Ks), Delta M_Bs, Delta M_Bd, BR(B -> tau nu) and epsilon_K along with necessary inputs from the lattice, we find that the measured value of sin(2 beta) is smaller than expectations of the…
In this talk I review briefly theoretical models and ideas on quantum gravity approaches entailing CPT violation. Then, I discuss various phenomenological tests of CPT violation using neutrinos, arguing in favour of their superior…
We discuss the concepts and methodology to implement an experiment probing directly Time Reversal (T) non-invariance, without any experimental connection to CP violation, by the exchange of "in" and "out" states. The idea relies on the…
We have examined the physics and the experimental feasibility of studying various kaon decay processes in which the polarization of a muon in the final state is measured. Valuable information on CP violation, the quark mixing (CKM) matrix,…
We propose a model of soft CP violation that evades the strong CP problem and can describe observed CP violation in the neutral kaon sector, both direct and indirect. Our model requires two ``duark'' mesons carrying quark number two that…
New neutrino degrees of freedom allow for more sources of CP-invariance violation (CPV). We explore the requirements for accessing CP-odd mixing parameters in the so-called 3+1 scenario, where one assumes the existence of one extra, mostly…
The current laws of physics do not explain the observed imbalance of matter and antimatter in the universe. Sakharov proposed that an explanation would require the violation of CP symmetry between matter and antimatter. The only CP…
A simple analysis of time-dependent $B_s\to K^+K^-$ transitions, based on recent results from the LHCb experiment, is presented. The benefits of adopting a fully consistent theoretical description of the $B^0_s$--$\bar B^0_s$ mixing are…
We examine how large violation of CP and T is allowed in long base line neutrino experiments. When we attribute only the atmospheric neutrino anomaly to neutrino oscillation we may have large CP violation effect. When we attribute both the…
Neutral kaons provide one of the most sensitive system to CP and CPT violation. Tests on CP, CPT and quantum mechanics have been performed at KLOE operating at the DAFNE e+e- collider. Results on the quantum interference in the channel…
Even though it is undoubtedly very appealing to interpret the latest T2K results as evidence of CP violation, this claim assumes CPT conservation in the neutrino sector to an extent that has not been tested yet. As we will show, T2K results…
$B$ flavor tagging will be extensively studied at the asymmetric $B$ factories due to its importance in CP asymmetry measurements. The primary tagging modes are the semileptonic decays of the $b$ (lepton tag), or the hadronic $b \to c (\to…
