In the minimal Left-Right model the choice of left-right symmetry is twofold: either generalized parity $\mathcal P$ or charge conjugation $\mathcal C$. In the minimal model with spontaneously broken strict $\mathcal P$, a large tree-level…
The NA48 experiment at the CERN SPS aims to search for direct CP violation in the $K^0$ system through the measurement of ${\rm Re}(\epsilon'/ \epsilon)$ with high accuracy. In 1999 the NA48 collaboration has published its first measuremen…
Searches for experimental manifestations of CP violation have born much fruit in recent years with the discovery of direct CP violation and the first evidence of CP violation outside of the neutral kaon system. Nevertheless we still know…
We present a measurement of the Standard Model CP violation parameter sin 2phi_1 based on a 29.1 fb^{-1} data sample collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. One neutral B…
A spontaneously-broken CP provides an alternative to the KM mechanism for CP violation with the advantage that the strong CP problem is solved. We consider, for such a model with a new gauged U(1), the incorporation of low-energy…
First preliminary measurement of the direct CP-violating parameter Ag by the NA48/2 experiment at CERN SPS is presented. Using more than 1.6 billions of charged kaon decays into three charged pions, the charge asymmetry in the…
We report a measurement of the direct CP violation asymmetry parameter $A_g$ in charged kaon decays $K^\pm\to\pi^\pm\pi^+\pi^-$ by the NA48/2 experiment at the CERN SPS. The experiment has been designed not to be limited by systematics in…
We summarize both the study of CP violation with $K$ and $B$ mesons, as well as rare decays of kaons, emphasizing recent developments. The topics discussed include the unitarity triangle, $\epsilon'/\epsilon$, $K\to\pi\nu\bar\nu$ and other…
CP violation in K and B decays is reviewed in the Standard Model (SM) and beyond the SM. In K decays, one is seeking first evidence for CP violation in direct $K\to \pi\pi$ decays. This would not give a precise quantitative test for the…
Experiments at CERN and Fermilab have been competing each other to improve the measurement of a CP violation parameter, epsilon'/epsilon. Fermilab KTeV-E832 recently announced their final result, Re(epsilon'/epsilon) = [19.2 +- 2.1] x…
CP violation in the neutral kaon system is known to be dominated by the mixing of K0 and anti-K0. Direct CP violation in the 2 pion decays of neutral kaons has been a controversial subject over the last decade. A strong experimental effort…
We examine the possibility of building a natural non-supersymmetric model of spontaneous CP violation equipped with the Nelson-Barr (NB) mechanism to address the strong CP problem. Our approach is to utilize a doubly composite dynamics…
Although CP-symmetry breaking has only been seen in neutral kaon decays, this mysterious phenomenon is expected to occur elsewhere. In this talk, how CP violation can arise in strange-baryon decays is briefly reviewed. The current status…
A non-axion solution to the Strong CP Problem is proposed that works even in the context of gravity-mediated supersymmetry breaking. Both $\epsilon'/\epsilon$ and indirect CP violation in the $B-\bar{B}$ are predicted to be unobservably…
We estimate the CP-violating rate asymmetry for the decay Omega^- -> Cascade + pion. Within the standard model, we find that it could be as large as 2 x 10^(-5). This is significantly larger than the corresponding rate asymmetries for other…
The NA48/2 result, based on the data collected during the 2003 run, on direct CP violation in $K^{\pm}\to\pi^{\pm}\pi^0\pi^0$ decay is presented. The main goal of the experiment is to reach a sensitivity at level of $10^{-4}$ in the…
We propose an alternative to the axion mechanism for addressing the charge parity (CP) problem in quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Our approach involves imposing CP as an inherent symmetry of the Lagrangian, which is then spontaneously broken.…

We have compared the decay rates of K_L and K_S to \pi^+ \pi^- and \pi^0 \pi^0 final states using a subset of the data from the KTeV experiment (E832) at Fermilab. We find that the direct-CP-violation parameter Re(\epsilon'/\epsilon) is…
We construct a realistic model of CP violation in which CP is broken in the process of dimensional reduction and orbifold compactification from a five dimensional theories with $SU(3)\times SU(3) \times SU(3)$ gauge symmetry. CP violation…
