The contribution from the R parity violating interactions in the associated production of a top quark with a charm antiquark is examined for high energy leptonic colliders. We concentrate on the reactions associated with the semileptonic…
CP violating effects in the single top quark production via flavour changing neutral current (FCNC) reactions $e^+e^- ->t bar{q}$ and $e^+e^- ->bar{t}q$ (here $q$ refers to charm and up quarks) are studied. The effective Lagrangian…
Experimental prospects for observing CP violation in B-meson decays are reviewed. Comparisons are made for various options: experiments at $e^+ e^-$ B-Meson Factories, HERA and the TEVATRON will produce results in near future. They will…
The phase convention independent measure of CP violation for three generations of leptons is evaluated at different energy scales. Unlike in the quark sector, this quantity does not vary much between the weak and the grand unification…
The last three years have seen a phase transition in our knowledge about CP violation: (i) Direct CP violation has been established in $K_L \to \pi \pi$. (ii) The first CP violation outside $K_L$ decays has been observed in $B_d \to \psi…
If CP violation in the decays of neutral kaons is due to phases in the weak couplings of quarks, as encoded in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix, there are many other experimental consequences. Notable among these are CP-violating…
We propose techniques to observe the correlation of the spins of top quarks and antiquarks at the Tevatron and the LHC. Observation of the spin correlation would confirm that the top quark decays before its spin flips, and would place a…
We investigate the prospects to observe effects of transverse polarization of top quarks in $pp,p\bar{p}\to t\bar{t}X$. QCD absorptive parts generate a polarization of top quarks and antiquarks transverse to the production plane in the…
Vacuum alignment in technicolor models provides an attractive origin for the quarks' CP violation and, possibly, a natural solution for the strong-CP problem of QCD. We discuss these topics in this paper. Then we apply them to determine…
I will briefly review the status of higher-order calculations for top-quark observables, comment on the need for improvements, discuss some of the recent theoretical advances, and present a few examples to highlight the role of top-quark…
Signals for Lorentz and CPT violation can appear in a wide range of experiments including hadron colliders like the LHC. We present a calculation of the Lorentz-violating cross section for top-quark pair production via gluon fusion. This…
In this letter, we summarize the latest results of the top-quark production and properties at the Tevatron. We do not include results of the top-quark mass and single top-quark production as they were presented in separate talks. The…
Direct CP violations in $B_{l4}$ decays ($B^\pm \to \pi^+\pi^- l^\pm {\nu}_l$) are investigated within the Standard Model (SM) and also in its extensions. In the decay processes, we include various excited states as intermediate states…
I review the current status of the charge asymmetry in hadronic top-quark pair production from a theory perspective. The standard-model predictions for the observables at the Tevatron and LHC are being discussed, as well as possible…
At the Tevatron, the collider experiments CDF and DO have data sets at their disposal that compromise several hundreds of reconstructed top-antitop-quark pairs and allow for precision measurements of the cross section and production and…
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…
A search for the violation of the charge-parity ($CP$) symmetry in the production of top quarks in association with Z bosons is presented, using events with at least three charged leptons and additional jets. The search is performed in a…
We study effects of CP violation in the associated production of a charged Higgs boson and a top quark at the LHC, $pp \to tH^\pm + X$. We calculate the CP violating asymmetry between the total cross section for $H^+$ and $H^-$ production…
The top quark is the most recently discovered of the standard model quarks, and because of its very large mass, studies of the top quark and its interactions are important both as tests of the standard model and as searches for new physical…
The Tevatron and the Next Linear Collider(NLC) will be excellent tools for probing the detailed nature of the top quark. We perform a preliminary examination of the influence of an anomalous chromomagnetic moment for the top, $\kappa$, on…
