Although recent experimental results in b-->s penguin process seem to be roughly consistent with the standard model predictions, there may be still large possibilities of new physics hiding in this processes. Therefore, here we investigate…
A method is proposed for the determination of the unitarity angle alpha through tree penguin interference. The modes needed would be of the form B0/B0-bar -> rho0 M and B0/B0-bar -> omega M where M is spin-0 uu-bar/dd-bar meson, for…
In the presence of penguin contributions, the indirect CP asymmetry in B0(t)->pi+ pi- measures some effective (``polluted'') angle 2alpha_{eff}. The angle 2theta=2alpha_{eff}-2alpha, parameterizes the size of the penguin pollution. A new,…
A general parametrization of the $B^+\to\pi^+ K^0$ and $B_d^0\to\pi^- K^+$ decay amplitudes is presented. It relies only on the isospin symmetry of strong interactions and the phase structure of the Standard Model and involves no…
The decays $B_d\to\pi^\mp K^\pm$ and $B^\pm\to\pi^\pm K$ provide interesting constraints on the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle of the CKM matrix. It is shown that bounds on $\gamma$ can also be obtained from the time evolution of…
Recent experimental results from CLEO indicate that strong penguin processes are remarkably robust. These results have spurred a variety of theoretical efforts which will be briefly review here. In particular we will discuss exclusive…
We present a measurement of time-dependent CP-violating asymmetries in fully reconstructed $B^0->D^{(*)\pm}\pi^\mp$ decays in a data sample of approximately 88 million $Y(4S)\to B\bar{B}$ decays collected with the BaBar detector at the…
We discuss the theoretical interpretation of the $B\to\pi K$ system in the light of new data. Using the branching ratio and direct CP asymmetry of $B^0_d\to\pi^-K^+$, the picture of the direct CP violation in $B_d^0\to\pi^+\pi^-$ could be…
We present updated results on time-dependent CP-violating asymmetries in neutral B decays to several CP eigenstates. The measurements use a data sample of about 62 million Upsilon(4S) --> B anti-B decays collected between 1999 and 2001 by…
We calculate penguin contributions to the lifetime splitting between the B_s and the B_d meson. In the Standard Model the penguin effects are found to be opposite in sign, but of similar magnitude as the contributions of the current-current…
We present a model-independent analysis of CP violation, inspired by recent experimental observations, in charmed meson decays. The topological diagram approach is used to study direct CP asymmetries for singly Cabibbo-suppressed two-body…
We propose a method to establish time reversal symmetry violation at future neutrino oscillation experiments in a largely model-independent way. We introduce a general parametrization of flavour transition probabilities which holds under…
Radiative and electroweak decays of B mesong (B to X_{s(d)}{\gamma} and B to X_{s(d)}\ell\ell, respectively, where X is a hadronic system and s or d labels the underlying quark process b to s(d)\gamma) provide good places to search for new…
The most recent results from the B-factories on the time-dependent CP asymmetries measured in B0-decays mediated by b --> c c(bar) s quark-transitions are reviewed. The Standard Model interpretation of the results in terms of the parameter…
In the presence of penguin contributions, the indirect CP asymmetry in B0(t) -> pi+ pi- measures sin(2\alpha + 2\theta), where 2\theta parametrizes the size of the penguin ``pollution.'' We derive a new upper bound on |2\theta|, requiring…
We formulate the most-general time-dependent decay distributions of $B_s\to J/\psi (\to l^+l^-) \phi(\to K^+K^-)$ in which the direct CP violation is explicitly incorporated. We then investigate the $B \to J/\psi V$ decays in the…
Time reversal (T) symmetry violations in neutrino oscillations imply the presence of an $L$-odd component in the transition probability at fixed neutrino energy, with $L$ denoting the distance between neutrino source and detector. Within…
We present the most complete analysis of the penguin correction to the extraction of the standard-model parameter sin(2\phi_1) from the B^0 -> J/psi K_S decay up to leading power in 1/m_b and to next-to-leading order in \alpha_s, \phi_1…
Experimentally, the phases $\phi_d$ and $\phi_s$ are determined from CP asymmetry measurements in the "golden modes" $B_d^0\to J/\psi K_{\mathrm{S}}^0$ and $B_s^0\to J/\psi\phi$. At leading order, the theoretical interpretation of these…
We present measurements on penguin dominated B decays which are sensitive to new physics, such as CP-violation parameters and branching fractions in $b \to s q\bar{q}$ and $b \to d q\bar{q}$ gluonic and radiative decays using a large sample…
