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…

We analyze the extraction of weak phases from CP violation in $B\to\pi^+\pi^-$ decays. By combining the information on mixing induced CP violation in $B\to\pi^+\pi^-$, namely $S_{\pi\pi}$, with the precision observable $\sin 2\beta$…
CP violation in the decays $t \to \ell^+\nu b$ and $\bar t \to \ell^-\bar\nu \bar b$ from the production process $e^-e^+ \to \ttbar$ is discussed. Since the asymmetry proposed as a measure of CP violation vanishes even at the one-loop level…
We explore charged-Higgs cp-violating effects in a specific type III two-Higgs doublet model which is theoretically attractive as it accommodates the large mass of the top quark in a natural fashion. Two new CP-violating phases arise from…
In this talk, I review the various measurements that have been made over the years of CP-violating observables in $B$ decays. These include indirect CP asymmetries, direct CP asymmetries, and triple products. All are discussed in the…
The distributions of the single decay b-quarks and leptons from e^+e^- \to t\bar t assuming CP violation are reviewed. Different asymmetries, sensitive independently to CP violation in the production and in the decay, and sensitive to the…
We investigate possible CP violating effects in $e^+e^-$ annihilation into top quark pairs. One of the interesting observable effects is the difference in production rates between the two CP conjugate polarized states $t_L\bar t_L$ and…
We analyze the extraction of weak phases from CP violation in $B\to\pi^+\pi^-$ decays. We propose to determine the unitarity triangle $(\bar\rho,\bar\eta)$ by combining the information on mixing induced CP violation in $B\to\pi^+\pi^-$,…
The decay $b\to d e^+e^-$ has an amplitude containing comparable contributions proportional to $V_{tb}V_{td}^{*}$, $V_{cb}V_{cd}^{*}$ and $V_{ub}V_{ud}^{*}$. These pieces involve different unitarity phases produced by $c\bar{c}$ and…

The recent Belle and Babar measurements of the branching ratios $B^- \to \pi^+ \pi^- K^-$ and $B^- \to K^+ K^- K^-$ and $B^\pm \to \chi_{c0} K^\pm$ have renewed interests in these decays as another mean to look for direct CP violation in B…
The decay modes $B$ to $\pi\pi$, $\psi K_S$, $K^- D$, $\pi K$ and $\eta K$ are promising channels to study the unitarity triangle of the CP violating CKM matrix. In this paper I study the consequences of these measurements in the Weinberg…
We study rare exclusive B decays based on the quark-level transition b->s(d)l^+l^-, where l=e or mu, in the context of supersymmetric theories with minimal flavour violation. We present analytic expressions for various mixing matrices in…
