I review two subjects in which lattice simulations are making, or can make in the future, a significant contribution to particle physics phenomenology. The first subject is the evaluation of quantities which enter into the determination of…
The matter-antimatter asymmetry is one of the greatest challenges in the modern physics. The universe including this paper and even the reader him(her)self seems to be built up of ordinary matter only. Theoretically, the well-known…
We propose a new method to determine the mass and width differences of the two D meson mass-eigenstates as well as the CP violating parameters associated with D^0-\bar{D}^0 mixing. We show that an accurate measurement of all the mixing…
The field mixing that manifests broken particle-hole symmetry is studied for a 2-D asymmetric lattice gas model having tunable field mixing properties. Monte Carlo simulations within the grand canonical ensemble are used to obtain the…
We update the Standard-Model predictions for several quantities related to $B_s - \bar B_s$ and $B_d - \bar B_d$ mixing. The mass and width differences in the $B_s$ system read $ \Delta M_s^{\rm SM} = (17.3 \pm 2.6) ps^{-1}$ and $\Delta…
Valuable information on interactions violating $P$- and $T$-invariance can be extracted from atomic experiments. The hypothesis of a large weak matrix element between single-particle states in heavy nuclei, $\sim 100$ eV, is ruled out by…
Stochastic filtering is defined as the estimation of a partially observed dynamical system. A massive scientific and computational effort is dedicated to the development of numerical methods for approximating the solution of the filtering…
Particle ratios are important observables used to constrain models of particle production in heavy-ion collisions. In this work we report on a measurement of the p/pi ratio in the transverse momentum range 2.0 < p_{T,assoc} < 4.0 GeV/c,…

We propose a phenomenological model of lepton mixing and CP violation based on the flavor democracy of charge leptons and the mass degeneracy of neutrinos. A nearly bi-maximal flavor mixing pattern, which is favored by current data on…
Discrepancies between experimental measurements and Standard Model predictions in $B$-meson decays, especially in lepton flavor universality ratios like $R_{D^{(*)}}$, $R_{J/\psi}$ and branching ratios for processes like $B\to…
The consistency condition is tested within the particle-particle random-phase approximation (RPA), renormalized RPA (RRPA) and the self-consistent RPA (SCRPA) making use of the Richardson model of pairing. The two-particle separation energy…
We consider three possible scenarios of new physics in B^0_d-\bar{B}^0_d mixing and propose a simple framework for analyzing their effects. This framework allows us to study the CP asymmetry in semileptonic B_d decays ({\cal A}_{SL}) and…
In many extensions of the standard model, new physics is possible to contribute significantly to B^0_s-\bar{B}^0_s mixing. We show that the effect of new physics, both its phase information and its magnitude, can be isolated from…
We show that a CP-violating phase can be model-independently determined from the time-independent measurement of coherent B^0_s\bar{B}^0_s decays into (D^{(*)\pm}_s K^{(*)\mp})(D^{(*)\pm}_s K^{(*)\mp}) states at the \Upsilon (5S) resonance.…
Combining the measured B_s mixing with b \to s\ell^+\ell^- rate data, we find a sizable 4 generation t' quark effect is allowed, for example with m_{t'} \sim 300 GeV and V_{t's}^*V_{t'b} \sim 0.025 e^{\pm i 70^\circ}, which could underly…
