We analyze joint angular distributions of a charmonium decay to the $\Xi\bar\Xi$ pair using the $\Xi\to\Lambda\pi\to p\pi^-\pi$ weak decay chain for the cascade and the charge conjugated mode for the anticascade. The decays allow a direct…
Using a sample of 232 million Upsilon(4S) --> B Bbar events collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II B Factory in 1999-2004, we study B- --> D0 K*(892)- decays where K*- --> KS pi- and D0 --> K-pi+, K-pi+pi0, K-pi+pi+pi- (non-CP…
I will here make some brief comments on the T- and CP- odd asymmetry observed by KTeV in the KL -> pi^+pi^-e^+e^- decay.
The extraction of the CKM angle $\alpha$ from the asymmetry in $B^0 \to \pi^+\pi^-$ vs ${\bar B^0} \to \pi^+\pi^-$ suffers from a currently unknown penguin contribution. Experimentally, one can determine the magnitude and phase of the CP…
Relative branching fractions of B^0_d,s -> h^+ h^'- decays (where h, h' = K or pi) and the direct CP asymmetry A_CP in the B^0_d -> K^+ pi^- mode are measured with 179 +- 11 pb^-1 of data collected at sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV using the CDF II…
At present, the measurements of $R_{D^{(*)}}$ and $R_{J/\psi}$ hint at new physics (NP) in $b \to c \tau^- {\bar\nu}$ decays. The angular distribution of ${\bar B} \to D^* (\to D \pi) \, \tau^{-} {\bar\nu}_\tau$ would be useful for getting…
We investigate a possibility of observing CP asymmetries in the partial widths for the decays B^- -> pi^+ pi^- K^- and B^- -> K^+ K^- K^- produced by the interference of the non-resonant decay amplitude with the resonant amplitudes. The…

The decay bar B -> bar K* (-> bar K pi) l+ l- offers great opportunities to explore the physics at and above the electroweak scale by means of an angular analysis. We investigate the physics potential of the seven CP asymmetries plus the…
Using data collected with the HyperCP (E871) spectrometer during the 1997 fixed-target run at Fermilab, we report the first observation of the decay K- -> pi- mu+ mu- and new measurements of the branching ratios for K+/- -> pi+/- mu+ mu- .…
We analyze the asymmetry in the partial widths for the decays $B^{\pm} \to M {\bar M} \pi^{\pm}$ ($ M = \pi^+, K ^+, \pi^0, \eta$), which results from the interference of the nonresonant decay amplitude with the resonant amplitude for…
The decays $B_d\to\pi^+\pi^-$ and $B_s\to K^+K^-$ provide an interesting strategy to extract the CKM angle $\gamma$ at ``second-generation'' $B$-physics experiments of the LHC era. A variant for ``first-generation'' experiments can be…
Isospin analysis has been used to constrain the CP-asymmetries in B -> pi pi decays. In particular correlation between a weak phase \theta and a strong phase \delta is obtained. Further using the experimental values for the CP-average…
The rare decay B -> K* (-> K pi) mu+ mu- is regarded as one of the crucial channels for B physics as the polarization of the K* allows a precise angular reconstruction resulting in many observables that offer new important tests of the…
