We analyze possible interpretations of the recent LHCb evidence for CP violation in D meson decays in terms of physics beyond the Standard Model. On general grounds, models in which the primary source of flavor violation is linked to the…
We present a pedagogical review of the phenomenology of CP violation, with emphasis on B decays. Main topics include the phenomenology of neutral meson systems, CP violation in the Standard Model of electroweak interactions, and B decays.…
An investigation of CP violation was performed using a total of 24 candidates for B^0 -> J/psi K^0_S decay, with a purity of about 60%. These events were selected from 4.4 million hadronic Z^0 decays recorded by the OPAL detector at LEP. An…
In this paper the most recent Tevatron results concerning CP violation in the B0s system are reviewed. These are the measurement of the direct CP asymmetry in the B0s->K-\pi+ decay performed by CDF and the measurement of \Delta\Gamma_s and…
This report describes an observation of mixing-induced CP violation and a measurement of the CP violation parameter, sin(2phi_1), with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric e+e- collider. Using a data sample of 29.1 fb-1 recorded on the…
In this work we study the T, CP and CPT symmetries in the B-meson system. Our analysis and results are addressed to the case of correlated mesons in the B-factories. In the first set of theory and results we investigate the consequences of…
Quantitative understanding of CP violation is extremely important as naturalness reasoning strongly suggests that new physics should be accompanied by beyond the Standard Model CP-odd phases. In 2019 LHCb made the first $5 \sigma$ discovery…
We investigate the possibility of observing direct CP violation in self-tagging B-meson decays of the type b -> d J/\psi. The CP asymmetry can be generated due to strong or electromagnetic scattering in the final state, or due to long…
We consider the possibilities of testing CP conservation in the process $e^+e^- \rightarrow ZH$. The easiest is to measure the forward-backward asymmetry of the $Z$ boson, a nonzero value of which signals CP violation. The effects of CP…
We present results on CP violation from approximately 2.8 fb^{-1} of data collected by the D0 Experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron. The results presented are: (i) an improved measurement of the B_s^0 CP-violating phase from a flavor-tagged…
We propose a mechanism in which the lightness of Higgs boson and the smallness of CP-violation are correlated based on the Lee model, namely the spontaneous CP-violation two-Higgs-doublet-model. In this model, the mass of the lightest Higgs…
In this decade, the exploration of CP violation is governed by the B-meson system, where non-leptonic decays play an outstanding role. To set the stage, we have first a look at the main strategies to circumvent the calculation of the…
The observation of CP violation has been experimentally verified in numerous $B$ decays but is yet to be confirmed in final states with half-spin particles. We focus our attention on baryonic $B$-meson decays mediated dominantly through…
CP violating phenomena and rare decays of $B_s$ mesons offer interesting probes to test the quark-flavor sector of the Standard Model. In view of plenty of data reported in particular from the Large Hadron Collider, this topic has received…
We show that in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model one--loop effects at finite temperature may lead to a spontaneous breaking of CP invariance in the scalar sector. Requiring that the breaking takes place at the critical temperature…
The CP violation observed in K- and B-mesons can be successfully accommodated via the CKM matrix in the standard model. However the additional CP violation is required in order to induce the matter and anti-matter asymmetry observed in the…
In this talk I begin with some general discussion of the history of CP violation, then move on to aspects of the aspon model including the production of new particles at LHC, implications for B decay, generalized Cabibbo mixing and a…
The study of CP violation in $B$-meson decays has already reached a high level of precision, which will be pushed even higher in the future era of Belle-II and the LHCb upgrade. %Important probes of CP violation are the $B_d^0$ and $B_s^0$…
The aspon model spontaneously breaks CP symmetry and makes qualitatively different predictions for CP asymmetries in B decay from the KM mechanism of the Standard Model. It further predicts the existence of the aspon gauge boson and of…
We study CP violation in a multi-Higgs doublet model based on a $S_3 \times Z_3$ horizontal symmetry where CKM phase is not the principal source of CP violation. We consider two mechanisms for CP violation in this model: a) CP violation due…
