I report some recent results on direct CP violation measurements in hadronic decays collected by the upgraded Collider Detector (CDF II) at the Fermilab Tevatron: CP-violating asymmetries in the two-body non-leptonic charmless decays of…
We study heavy-hadron semileptonic decays proceeding via $b \to c$ transition, such as $B \to D^{(*)}\tau\bar{\nu}_\tau$ and $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c\tau\bar{\nu}_\tau$. In the heavy-quark limit, where the heavy-quark symmetry holds, we…
In the study of CP violation within and beyond the Standard Model of particle physics, pure hadronic B decays are the key players. Improving the determination of the CKM angle $\gamma$ is one of the important tasks in this endeavour.…
We consider the possibility of observing CP violation in quasi-inclusive decays of the type $B^-\to K^- X$, $B^-\to K^{*-} X$, $\bar B^0\to K^- X$ and $\bar B^0\to K^{*-} X$, where $X$ does not contain strange quarks. We present estimates…
The observation of CP violation effects is becoming more and more significant in a variety of channels, due to the impressive experimental effort of the last years. We review recent progress in Bs semileptonic decays and in Bs decays into…
If the Standard Model explanation of CP violation is correct, then measurements of CP-violating asymmetries in $B$ meson decays can in principle determine the entire quark mixing matrix.
Brief overview of the present status on mixing and CP violation in kaons and B mesons is given by means of the unitarity triangle. Theoretical predictions on epsilon'/epsilon are confronted with experimental results. The prospects of…

We review CP violation in various extensions of the electroweak sector of the Standard Model. A particular emphasis is put on supersymmetric models. We describe the two CP problems of supersymmetry, concerning $d_N$ and $\epsilon_K$. We…
We review the present status of CP violation in the standard model. Subsequently we make an excursion in the future in order to see what we could expect in this field in this and the next decade. We present various strategies for the…
CP violation in H^\pm decays into the three possible decay modes into ordinary particles, 1) H^\pm \to tb, 2) H^\pm \to \nu \tau and 3) H^\pm \to W^\pm h^0 is considered. Analytic expressions and numerical results for the CP violating decay…

A mechanism of generating CP violation through the imaginary part of the interference of two amplitudes is proposed. This mechanism has shown clear evidence in decays such as $B^\pm\to \pi^\pm\pi^+\pi^-$. The proposed mechanism is helpful…
The Standard Model contains a natural source for CP asymmetries in weak decays, which is described by the KM mechanism. Beyond $\epsilon _K$ it generates only elusive manifestations of CP violation in {\em light-}quark systems. On the other…
The $B$-Mesogenesis model explains the matter-antimatter asymmetry and leads to the right amount of dark matter in the Universe. In particular, this model predicts new decay channels of the $b$ quark. We investigate the modification of…
