We argue that the observation of a sizable direct CP asymmetry A_{CP} in the inclusive decays B -> X_s gamma would be a clean signal of New Physics. In the Standard Model, A_{CP} can be calculated reliably and is found to be below 1% in…

The CP asymmetry in inclusive B->X_{s,d}+gamma decays is an important probe of new physics. The theoretical prediction was thought to be of a perturbative origin, and in the standard model, to be about 0.5 percent. In a recent work with M.…
In the supersymmetric standard model, the radiative $B$-meson decay $B \to X_s \gamma$ could receive a large contribution from a new source of flavor-changing neutral current, which also violates CP invariance. The CP-conjugate processes…
We investigate the effect of supersymmetric CP violating phases on the inclusive decay B\to X_d\gamma. Although such a decay contains a large background from B\to X_s\gamma, if isolated it may exhibit sizeable CP violation, both in the…

In the standard model, direct CP-violating asymmetries for $B^\pm \to \pi^\pm K$ are roughly 2% based on perturbative calculation. Rescattering effects might enhance it to at most (20-25)%. We show that lepton-number-violating couplings in…
Recent evidence for direct CP violation in non-leptonic charm decays cannot be easily accommodated within the Standard Model (SM). On the other hand, it fits well in new physics models generating CP violating Delta C=1 chromomagnetic dipole…
We discuss the role of the radiative B decays $B \to X_{s/d} \gamma$ in our search for new physics focusing on the issue of direct CP violation. We discuss in some detail a SM prediction for the CP asymmetries in inclusive $b \to s/d$…
The direct CP-asymmetry in the inclusive $B \to X_d \gamma$ and $B \to X_d e^+ e^ - $ decays is investigated in the two-Higgs doublet extension of the Standard Model (2HDM). The investigation is performed in the lowest non-vanishing order…
We investigate the possibility of observing direct CP violation in self-tagging B-meson decays of the type b -> d J/\psi. The CP asymmetry can be generated due to strong or electromagnetic scattering in the final state, or due to long…
We study the direct CP asymmetry of the decays b -> s gamma and b -> d gamma in the context of two models: i) a supersymmetric (SUSY) model with unconstrained SUSY phases, and ii) a model with a single generation of vector quarks. In both…
We describe a measurement of the direct CP asymmetry between inclusive b -> s gamma and bbar -> sbar gamma decays. This asymmetry is expected to be less than 0.01 in the Standard Model, but could be enhanced up to about 0.10 by new physics…
When new CP-violating interactions are dominated by flavor changing neutral particle exchanges, that may occur in many extensions of the standard model. We examine a type 3 two Higgs doublet model and find that direct CP asymmetries can be…
We discuss several aspects of direct CP asymmetries in B decays, which are very useful in spite of hadronic uncertainties in asymmetry calculations. 1) Asymmetries in decays to $D^{(*)}K^{(*)}$, $\pi^+\pi^-, \rho^+\rho^-$, providing…
We investigate the effect of vector quarks on the inclusive decays B -> X_d,s \gamma. We show that the branching ratio of B -> X_d \gamma can differ sizably from the SM and MSSM predictions, being enhanced to present experimental…
Contributions to B - \bar B mixing from physics beyond the standard model may be detected from CP-violating asymmetries in B decays. There exists the possibility of large new contributions that cannot be detected by first generation…
We perform a detailed study of the electric and chromoelectric dipole coefficients in B -> X_s \gamma decay in a supersymmetric scheme with explicit CP violation. In our analysis, we adopt the minimal flavor violation scheme by taking into…
In the standard model, CP asymmetries in the $B^\pm \to \pi^\pm K$ channels are about 2% based on perturbative calculation. Rescattering effects might enhance it to at most (20-25)%. We show that lepton-number-violating $\lambda'$ couplings…
The likelihood of a sizable, direct CP-violating asymmetry in the decays $B^\mp\to K^\mp\eta$, is calculated within the framework of the model which originally predicted a sizeable asymmetry in $\pi^\mp\eta(\eta')$. It is shown in a…
