We consider various contributions to the nonresonant decay $B^\pm\rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-\pi^\pm$, both of the long-distance and short-distance types with the former providing for most of the branching ratio, predicted to be…
We calculate the branching ratios and CP asymmetries of the $B \to \pi \rho$, $\pi\omega $ decays in the perturbative QCD factorization approach up to the next-to-leading-order contributions. We find that the next-to-leading-order…
We search for direct CP violation in flavor specific B -> K pi decays by measuring the rate asymmetry between charge conjugate modes. The search is performed on a data sample of 11.1 million B B bar events recorded on the Upsilon(4S)…

We calculate the branching ratios and CP asymmetries for B^0 to pi^+pi^-, B^+ to pi^+pi^0 and B^0 to pi^0pi^0 decays, in a perturbative QCD approach. In this approach, we calculate non-factorizable and annihilation type contributions, in…
We present here the CP asymmetries in the decay rate and angular distributions of $\tau\to K_S\pi\nu_\tau$ decays in the Standard Model (SM) and beyond (BSM). The CP asymmetries in the SM are induced by the CP violation in $K^0-\bar{K}^0$…
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…
The near equality between the measured value for $|V_{ub}|/|V_{cb}|$ and its unitarity triangle lower bound from $\sin 2\beta$ measurements suggests that $\alpha \approx 90^{\circ}$ and $\sin\gamma \approx \cos\beta = 0.91$ and a large…
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 $B^-$…
In this article we give an overview of CP-violation for both K^0 (\bar{K}^0 ), B^0 (\bar{B}^0), and B_s(\bar{B}_s) systems. Direct CP-violation and mixing induced CP-violation are discussed for K^0(\bar{K}^0), and B^0(\bar{B}^0) decays.
We report an improved measurement of direct CP violation in the decay B0 --> K+pi-, and a search for CP violation in the decays B+ --> K+pi0 and B+ --> pi+pi0. The measured CP violating asymmetries are…

We report observations of CP violation in the decays B0 -> K+pi- and B0 -> pi+pi- in a sample of 383 million Y(4S) -> BBbar events. We find 4372 +/- 82 B0 -> K+pi- decays and measure the direct CP-violating charge asymmetry Akpi = -0.107…
The decay $B^{\pm} \to K^0_{\mathrm{S}} \pi^{\pm}$, with a $CP$ asymmetry expected to be close to zero in the Standard Model, is theoretically clean and sensitive to potential new physics. An analysis of the decays $B^{\pm} \to…
We prove that CP violating rate difference $\Delta (\bar B^0 \rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-) = \Gamma (\bar B^0 \rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-) - \Gamma ( B^0 \rightarrow \pi^-\pi^+)$ is related to $\Delta (\bar B^0 \rightarrow \pi^+ K^-) = \Gamma (\bar…
