In models of three or more scalar doublets, new CP violating phases appear in charged scalar exchange. These phases affect CP asymmetries in neutral $B$ decays, even if Natural Flavor Conservation holds. The recent upper bound on the decay…
Although CP violation was discovered more than thirty years ago, its origin is still unknown. In these lectures, we describe the CP-violating effects which have been seen in K decays, and explain how CP violation can be caused by the…
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…
The presence of a sizeable CP-violating phase in B_s^0-B_s^0-bar mixing would be an unambiguous signal of physics beyond the Standard Model. We analyse various possibilities to detect such a new phase considering both tagged and untagged…
The decays $B_d\to \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $B_s\to K^+ K^-$ are related to each other by interchanging all down and strange quarks, i.e. through the $U$-spin flavour symmetry of strong interactions. A completely general parametrization of the…
CP violation in rare leptonic B decays are analyzed in the standard model (SM) and models beyond SM (supersymmetric models and two Higgs doublet models).
In Standard Model, CP violation arises from an irreducible complex phase in the quark mixing matrix, now under the name Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix. This description has shown remarkably overall agreement with various experimental…
We report on measurements of the time-dependent CP violating observables in $B^0_s\rightarrow D^{\mp}_s K^{\pm}$ decays using a dataset corresponding to 1.0 fb$^{-1}$ of pp collisions recorded with the LHCb detector. We find the CP…
A method for clean determination of the unitarity angles alpha and gamma is proposed that uses only direct CP violation and does not require any time dependent measurements. The method takes advantage of helicity amplitudes for B_u, B_d and…
I review several methods for determining the CKM phases $\alpha \equiv \phi_2$ and $\gamma \equiv \phi_3$ through CP asymmetry measurements in hadronic B decays. The current status of these measurements and the near future feasibility of…
In this talk I discuss three different methods, using B_d to J/psi K_S, J/psi K_s pi^o, B_d to K^- pi^+, pi^+ pi^- and B_u to K^- pi^0, bar K^0 pi^- pi^- pi^0, to extract hadronic model independent information about new physics.
We discuss some aspects of the search for CP asymmetry in the three body B decays, revealed through the interference among neighbor resonances in the Dalitz plot. We propose a competitive method to extract the CKM $\gamma$ angle combining…
Several methods exist to measure $CP$ violation observables related to the CKM unitarity triangle angle $\gamma$ using $B$ meson decays. These observables are different for every $B$ meson decay considered, although the information they…
The LHCb collaboration has recently reported the first observation of CP violation in the penguin-dominated $B^0_s\to K^-K^+$ decay and further new measurements, indicating differences between the direct CP asymmetries of both the $B^0_s\to…
The Gronau-London-Wyler (GLW) method extracts the CKM angle $\gamma$ by measuring $B^\pm$ decay rates involving $D^0/\overline D^0$ mesons. Since that method necessitates the interference between two amplitudes that are significantly…
We review various implications of recent experimental results concerning CP violation and mixing in $K\to\pi\pi$, $B\to\psi K_S$, $D\to K\pi$ and $D\to KK$ decays.
The CP-violating asymmetries in the exclusive decay B->K^*l^+l^- (l=e,mu,tau) are predicted to be exceedingly small in the standard model (SM), thereby offering an opportunity to assess various new-physics scenarios. We derive quantitative…
The tree-level measurement of the CKM $\gamma$ angle is a crucial test of $CP$ violation in the Standard Model (SM). Discrepancies between direct measurements (tree-level decays) and indirect measurements (loop decays) could indicate…
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 observation of CP violation has been experimentally verified in numerous $B$ decays but is yet to be confirmed in final states with half-spin particles. We focus our attention on baryonic $B$-meson decays mediated dominantly through…
