In this paper we investigate CP violation in charged decays of $D$ meson. Particularly, we study the direct CP asymmetry of the Cabibbo favored non-leptonic $D^+ \rightarrow \bar K^0 \pi^+$ and the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay mode $D^+…
We examine the B -> phi K decays within the framework of SUGRA models making use of the improved QCD factorization method of Beneke et al. which allows calculations of non-factorizable contributions. All other experimental constraints (B ->…
We propose a new method for obtaining the CP phase alpha, based on measurements of B0(d) --> K0 anti-K0, along with theoretical input. Due to the similarities of QCD factorization (QCDf) and perturbative QCD (pQCD), this input is basically…
Using a sample of 232 x 10^6 Upsilon(4S)--> B B-bar events collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II B-factory we study the decay B- --> [K+ pi-]_D K*- where the K+ pi- is either from a Cabibbo-favored D0-bar decay or…
The LHCb Collaboration has recently reported evidence for a CP asymmetry approaching the percent level in the difference between $D^0 \to \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $D^0 \to K^+ K^-$. We analyze this effect as if it is due to a penguin amplitude with…
We present evidence for D0-D0bar mixing in $D^0 \to K^{+}\pi^{-}$ decays from 384 fb^{-1} of e+e- colliding-beam data recorded near sqrt(s)=10.6 GeV with the Babar detector at the PEP-II storage rings at SLAC. We find the mixing parameters…
It is shown that interference of the amplitudes for the decays $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda D$ and $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \bar{D}^0$ gives rise to CP-violation.
The recent evidence of large direct CP violation in D0 decay at LHCb suggests that such CP studies may become an important avenue for understanding CP. In this paper, we make several suggestions to try to clarify the role of new physics in…
Combining the measured B_s mixing with b \to s\ell^+\ell^- rate data, we find a sizable 4 generation t' quark effect is allowed, for example with m_{t'} \sim 300 GeV and V_{t's}^*V_{t'b} \sim 0.025 e^{\pm i 70^\circ}, which could underly…
Recent experimental results on the color-suppressed nonleptonic decays B^0 -> D^{(*)0} pi^0 provide evidence for a failure of the naive factorization model and for sizeable relative strong-interaction phases between class-1 and class-2 B ->…
We report on a search for D0-D0B mixing made by studying the `wrong-sign' process D0->K^+pi^-. The data come from an integrated luminosity of 9.0 1/fb of e^+e^- collisions at s^(1/2) of approximately 10 GeV recorded with the CLEO II.V…
We review $CP$-violating observables in flavor tagged and untagged $D^0 \rightarrow K^{-}\pi^{+}$ decays and evaluate the $CP$ asymmetry difference between the two decays. We note that this commonly neglected difference is not zero in…
We show that in see-saw models of neutrino mass a la SUSY SO(10), the observed large mixing in atmospheric neutrinos naturally leads to large b-s transitions. If the associated new CP phase turns out to be large, this SUSY contributions can…
New data on the decays of the charmed particles $D^0$, $D^+$, and $D_s$ to pairs of light pseudoscalar mesons $P$ allow the testing of flavor symmetry and the extraction of key amplitudes. Information on relative strong phases is obtained.…
Motivated by diquark exchange, we construct a class of extensions of the standard model. These models can generate large CP conserving and CP violating contributions to the doubly Cabbibo suppressed decays D^0\to K^+\pi^- without affecting…
We report a study of the suppressed decay B^- -> DK^-, D -> K^+\pi^-\pi^0, where D denotes either a D^0 or a \bar{D}^0 meson. The decay is sensitive to the CP-violating parameter \phi_3. Using a data sample of 772 x 10^6 B\bar{B} pairs…
According to the standard model, the Cabibbo-favored (CF) decays are $CP$ conserve at tree level. Observation of any finite $CP$ asymmetry can be received as a signal of new physics. In CF charm meson decays, $ D^0 \rightarrow K^- \pi^+ $…

We present a general analysis on charmless B-meson decays $B\to \pi\pi$ and $\pi K$. It is noticed that the final state interactions and inelastic rescattering effects must be significant in order to understand the consistency of the…
An analysis of B0->D K*0 decays is presented, where D represents an admixture of D0 and D0b mesons reconstructed in four separate final states: K-pi+, pi-K+, K+K- and pi+pi-. The data sample corresponds to 3.0fb-1 of proton-proton…
