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…
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…
We study effects of CP violation in an 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 at…
In the presence of large New Physics contributions to loop-induced b->s transitions, sizable direct CP violation in B-> phi K decays is expected on general grounds. We compute explicitly CP-violating effects using QCD factorization and find…

We discuss several issues related to direct CP violation in rare $B$ meson decays. We review the use of CP asymmetries in extracting information of strong and weak phases, how the experimental data fit into the overall picture, and the…
Supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model provide new sources of CP violation. Here the CP properties of neutralinos are described and possible experimental signatures of CP--violation in the neutralino production processes at e+e-…
Large CP violation is an interesting phenomenon both theoretically and experimentally. Last year, LHCb Collaboration found in some three-body decays of bottom mesons that large CP violations appear in regions of the Dalitz plots that are…
By assuming a dynamical source of CP violation, the tension between sufficient CP violation for successful electroweak baryogenesis and strong constraints from current electric dipole moment measurements could be alleviated. We study how to…
Measurements of mixing and $CP$ violation in $b$-hadron decays are great probes to search for physics beyond the Standard Model. A selection of recent results based upon $3.0\ \mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of LHCb data are presented. These are the…
We discuss a simple model of lepton mixing and CP violation based on the flavor democracy of charge leptons and the mass degeneracy of neutrinos. A nearly bi-maximal flavor mixing pattern, which is favored by current data on atmospheric and…
I review the many ways of obtaining information about the CKM matrix through CP violation in the $B$ system. I include direct and indirect CP violation, the role of penguins and isospin analysis, tagging, and $B\to DK$ decays. I also…
CP violation from physics beyond the Standard Model is investigated in $B_{l4}$ decays: $B\to D\pi l\bar{\nu}_l$. The semileptonic $B$-meson decay to a $D$-meson with an emission of single pion is analyzed with heavy quark effective theory…
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…
Precision measurements of beauty hadron decays are sensitive probes of the Standard Model and a promising way to look for new physics phenomena far beyond the energy scale accessible for direct production searches. This article reviews…
Some time ago Dashen pointed out that spontaneous CP violation can occur in the strong interactions. I show how a simple effective Lagrangian exposes the remarkably large domain of quark mass parameters for which this occurs. I close with…
