I show that the CP-violating asymmetry in K^0 vs \bar{K}^0 \to \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0 decays differs from that in K_L \to \pi^+\pi^-, K_L \to \pi^0\pi^0 or the semileptonic K_L transitions, if there exists CPT violation in K^0-\bar{K}^0 mixing. A…
CP violation in $B$ decays is reviewed in the Standard Model (SM) and beyond the SM. The present explanation of CP violation in terms of a phase in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix can be tested through a variety of CP asymmetries…
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…
We calculate the branching ratios and CP asymmetries for $B^0 \to \pi^+\rho^-$, $B^0 \to \rho^+\pi^-$, $B^+ \to \rho^+\pi^0$, $B^+ \to \pi^+\rho^0$, $B^0 \to \pi^0\rho^0$, $B^+ \to \pi^+\omega$ and $B^0 \to \pi^0\omega$ decays, in a…

Since the CP violation in the $B$ system has been investigated up to now only through processes related to the $B$--$\bar{B}$ mixing, urgently required is new way of study for the CP violation and establishing its origin in the $B$ system…
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…
We report evidence for direct CP violation in the decay B0 -> K+-pi-+ with 253/fb of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider. Using 275 million B B_bar pairs we observe a B -> K+-pi-+ signal with 2140+-53 events.…
In the framework of QCD factorization, based on the first order of isospin violation, we study direct CP violation in the decay of $\bar{B}_{s}^{0} \to K^{0}\rho^{0}(\omega)\to K^{0}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ including the effect of $\rho-\omega$…
CP asymmetries in $B^0(t)\to \pi^+ \pi^-$ are studied by relating this process in broken flavor SU(3) with $B^+\to K^0\pi^+$ and $B^0\to K^+\pi^-$. Using two different scenarios for SU(3) breaking, we show that the range of values of the…
We report measurements of the branching fractions and CP asymmetries for B^+- -> eta h^+- (h = K or pi) and the observation of the decay B^0 -> eta K^0 from the final data sample of 772x10^6 BBbar pairs collected with the Belle detector at…
The explanation of the large CP asymmetries in $D^0\to (\pi^+\pi^-, K^+K^-)$ decays observed by the LHCb collaboration is likely to call for new physics beyond the CKM paradigm. We explore new contributions caused by the color-sextet scalar…
We calculate the time-dependent and time-integrated decay rates of $(D^0\bar{D}^0)\rightarrow (K^{\pm}\pi^{\mp})(l^{\pm}X^{\mp})$ at the $\psi(3.77)$ and $\psi(4.14)$ resonances. The possibilities to distinguish between the effects of…
