Recent developments for mixing and CP violation in the D0 and Bs systems are reviewed, including (i) the recently emerging evidence for D0-D0bar mixing and the interpretations of the measurements; (ii) the theoretical status of the…
Contributions to B - \bar B mixing from physics beyond the standard model may be detected from CP-violating asymmetries in B decays. There exists the possibility of large new contributions that cannot be detected by first generation…
$D^0-\bar{D}^0$ mixing at a detectable level requires the presence of new physics and may lead to some observable effects in weak decays of $B$ mesons. We show that $CP$ violation induced by $D^0-\bar{D}^0$ mixing can manifest itself in the…
The most sensitive experimental searches for $D-\bar D$ mixing use $D^0 \to K^+ \pi^-$ decays. It is often assumed that effects of New Physics and, in particular, CP violation, can appear through the mixing, while the $c \to d u \bar s$…
We explore the possibility of using CP violation in B decays to detect the presence of physics beyond the Standard Model. We first study the possibility of new physics in the $B-\bar B$ mixing amplitude. We discuss a construction to extract…
We make a systematic analysis of the effects of new physics in the B decay amplitudes on the CP asymmetries in neutral B decays. Although these are expected to be smaller than new physics effects on the mixing amplitude, they are easier to…
If New Physics contributes significantly to neutral meson mixing, then it is quite likely that it does so in a CP violating manner. In $D^0-\bar D^0$ mixing measured through $D^0\rightarrow K^+\pi^-$, CP violation induces a term $\propto…
In many extensions of the standard model, new physics is possible to contribute significantly to B^0_s-\bar{B}^0_s mixing. We show that the effect of new physics, both its phase information and its magnitude, can be isolated from…
The first general analysis of New Physics contributions to the D0-anti-D0 lifetime difference (equivalently Delta Gamma_D} is presented. The extent to which New Physics (NP) contributions to |Delta C|=1 processes can produce effects in…
We review and update the effects of physics beyond the standard model on CP asymmetries in B decays. These asymmetries can be significantly altered if there are important new-physics contributions to \bqbqbar mixing. This same new physics…
We consider three possible scenarios of new physics in B^0_d-\bar{B}^0_d mixing and propose a simple framework for analyzing their effects. This framework allows us to study the CP asymmetry in semileptonic B_d decays ({\cal A}_{SL}) and…
We argue that a small or large CP-violating asymmetry {\cal A}_{\psi K_S} in B^0_d vs \bar{B}^0_d --> J/\psi K_S decays, which seems to be favored by the recent BaBar or Belle data, might hint at the existence of new physics in B^0_d -…
We review recent experimental results on D0 -D0bar mixing and CP violation charm decays. These studies provide complementary constraints on many different extensions of the Standard Model. Observation of CP violation in charm decays at the…
The B-meson system offers interesting probes for the search of physics beyond the Standard Model. After addressing possible signals of new-physics contributions to the B -> phi K and B -> pi K decay amplitudes, we focus on the data for…
B-B-bar mixing involves three physical parameters: the magnitudes of the off-diagonal elements of the mass and decay matrices and their relative phase. They are related to the mass and width differences between the mass eigenstates and to…
We point out that the observed CP violation in Bd - bar{Bd} mixing, taking into account the measured ratio Delta Md / Delta Ms, the recently improved lattice value of the non-perturbative parameter BK and an additional effective suppression…
Recently, the CDF and D0 collaborations measured indirect CP violation in Bs -> J/psi phi and found a hint of a signal. If taken at face value, this can be interpreted as a nonzero phase of Bs-Bsbar mixing (beta_s), in disagreement with 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…
We present a framework to analyze effects of new physics beyond the standard model on $B$-$\bar B$ mixing and $CP$ violation in $B$ decays in a model-independent manner. Assuming that tree level decay amplitudes are dominated by the…
Several methods have been devised to measure the weak phase gamma using decays of the type B+- --> D K+-, where it is assumed that there is no mixing in the D0-D0bar system. However, when using these methods to uncover new physics, one must…
