Precision tests of the Kobayashi-Maskawa model of CP violation are discussed, pointing out possible signatures for other sources of CP violation and for new flavor-changing operators. The current status of the most accurate tests is…
The CKM matrix describing quark mixing with three generations can be parameterized by three mixing angles and one CP violating phase. In most of the parameterizations, the CP violating phase chosen is not a directly measurable quantity and…
After reviewing techniques for extracting clean information on CP-violating phase angles from $B$ decays, we explain the rules for finding decay modes that can probe the phase angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle. We identify the more…
We propose that leptonic CP violation arises from a breaking of the mu-tau exchange symmetry in the neutrino mass matrix which in turn is indicated by the near maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing and the near zero \theta_{13}. We find that…
A new way of determining the phases of weak amplitudes in charged $B$ decays based on SU(3) symmetry is proposed. The CP violating phase $\gamma$ can now be determined without the previous difficulty associated with electroweak penguins.
Microscopic CP violation has profound cosmological consequences. In particular, it is related to the baryon asymmetry of the universe. A successful baryogenesis requires new sources of CP violation in addition to the…
We report the measurement of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa CP-violating angle $\gamma$ through a Dalitz plot analysis of neutral $D$ meson decays to $K_S^0 \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $K_S^0 K^+ K^-$ produced in the processes $B^\mp \to D K^\mp$,…
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…
We discuss the testability of CP-violating phases at future lepton colliders for the scenario which satisfies electric dipole moment data by destructive interferences among several phases. We consider the general but aligned two Higgs…
Assuming a new interaction with a $\theta$ term for the third generation of quarks, a value of $\theta$ different from zero dynamically induces the top- bottom mass splitting and a large CP-violating phase.
Three possibilities for the origin of CP violation are discussed: (1) the Standard Model in which all CP violation is due to one parameter in the CKM matrix, (2) the superweak model in which all CP violation is due to new physics and (3)…
We review the basic mechanisms of neutrino mass generation and the corresponding structure of the lepton mixing matrix. We summarize the status of three-neutrino oscillation parameters as determined from current observations, using…
In this manuscript, we present an explicit way to describe the violation of CP symmetry in the standard model (SM) of electroweak interactions. In such a way, complex Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrices are achieved which stand for the…
A variety of CP violating asymmetries in $B^0$ decays is predicted in the Standard Model in terms of CKM (Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa) complex phases. These phases can also be determined from rate measurements of certain $B^+$ and $B^-$…
It is shown that in the scheme with a rotating fermion mass matrix (i.e. one with a scale-dependent orientation in generation space) suggested earlier for explaining fermion mixing and mass hierarchy, the theta-angle term in the QCD action…
The prospects of measuring the leptonic angles and CP-odd phases at a neutrino factory are discussed in two scenarios: 1) three active neutrinos as indicated by the present ensemble of atmospheric plus solar data; 2) three active plus one…
Isospin analysis has been used to constrain the CP-asymmetries in B -> pi pi decays. In particular correlation between a weak phase \theta and a strong phase \delta is obtained. Further using the experimental values for the CP-average…
The concepts of effective and dynamical neutrino mixing matrices are introduced in order to describe the behavior of neutrinos in matter. The former relates weak eigenstates to mass eigenstates, whereas the latter relates weak eigenstates…
We describe a method that is used to reduce, significantly, the number of CP violating complex phases in the Yukawa parameters. With this Reduction of Complex Phases (RCP) we obtain only one CP violating complex phase in the case where the…
