Observation of Large CP Violation in the Neutral B Meson System
read the original abstract
We present a measurement of the Standard Model CP violation parameter sin 2phi_1 based on a 29.1 fb^{-1} data sample collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. One neutral B meson is fully reconstructed as a J/psi Ks, psi(2S) Ks, chi_c1 Ks, eta_c Ks, J/psi K_L or J/psi K^{*0} decay and the flavor of the accompanying B meson is identified from its decay products. From the asymmetry in the distribution of the time intervals between the two B meson decay points, we determine sin 2phi_1 = 0.99 +- 0.14(stat) +- 0.06(syst). We conclude that we have observed CP violation in the neutral B meson system.

Accelerating Discovery: Model-Agnostic Likelihoods for the Reinterpretation of Particle Physics Results and their Application to the Belle II $B^{+}\to K^{+}\nu\bar{\nu}$ Measurement
A reweighting method creates model-agnostic likelihoods from histogram analyses, applied to Belle II B+ to K+ nu nubar data for WET constraints and light new physics searches.

Mass of the dark antibaryon using $B_d\rightarrow \Lambda \psi_{DS}$ channel in light cone QCD
The mass ranges for the dark antibaryon ψ_DS are determined by deriving the B_d → Λ ψ_DS branching fraction via light-cone QCD sum rules and comparing it to BaBar and Belle experimental bounds.

Model-independent probes of CP violation in the heavy scalar sector at muon colliders
Observing vector boson fusion production of a heavy scalar followed by decay to Z h1 at muon colliders can establish CP violation in the scalar sector because it requires both h2VV and h2h1Z couplings to be nonzero.

The Muon and Tau Electric Dipole Moments in the B-L Supersymmetric Standard Model
In the B-LSSM the traditional mu-term dominates d_mu and d_tau while B-LSSM-specific CPV parameters also contribute, placing d_mu inside projected Phase-II sensitivity over substantial parameter space and allowing |d_...

Study of $\Lambda^0_b \to \Lambda D$ decays with the rescattering mechanism
Rescattering enhances the anti-D0 Lambda branching fraction by two orders of magnitude and produces large direct CP asymmetries (0.28 and -0.14) in Lambda_b to Lambda D channels.

Contributions of interference and non-interference components to CP asymmetries in heavy meson decays
A Legendre-polynomial-zero partitioning scheme with sign weighting defines new observables A±^asy,l and ACP^asy,l that isolate interference versus non-interference terms in CP asymmetries for heavy meson decays.
