We report the measurements of branching fractions and CP violation asymmetries in $B^0 to phi K^{*}$ decays obtained in an angular analysis using the full data sample of $772 times 10^6 Bbar{B}$ pairs collected at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+ e^-$ collider. We perform a partial wave analysis to distinguish among scalar [$B^0 to phi(Kpi)^{*}_{0}$], vector [$B^0 to phi K^{*}(892)^{0}$] and tensor [$B^0 to phi K^{*}_{2}(1430)^{0}$] components, and determine the corresponding branching fractions to be $mathcal{B}[B^0 to phi(Kpi)^{*}_{0}] = (4.3 pm 0.4 pm 0.4) times 10^{-6}$, $mathcal{B}[B^0 to phi K^{*}(892)^{0}] = (10.4 pm 0.5 pm 0.6) times 10^{-6}$ and $mathcal{B}[B^0 to phi K^{*}_{2}(1430)^{0}] = (5.5 ^{+0.9}_{-0.7} pm 1.0) times 10^{-6}$. We also measure the longitudinal polarization fraction $f_L$ in $B^0 to phi K^{*}(892)^{0}$ and $B^0 to phi K^{*}_{2}(1430)^{0}$ decays to be $0.499 pm 0.030 pm 0.018$ and $0.918 ^{+0.029}_{-0.060} pm 0.012$, respectively. The first quoted uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. In total, we measure 26 parameters related to branching fractions, polarization and CP violation in the $B^0 to phi K^{*}$ system. No evidence for CP violation is found.

We report on the first measurement of the direct $CP$-violating asymmetry ($mathcal{A}$) in the charmless decay $B^0 to K^0pi^0$ at Belle II and an updated measurement of its branching fraction ($mathcal{B}$). We use a sample of electron-positron collisions collected in 2019 and 2020 at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance and corresponding to $62.8$ $text{fb}^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity. We reconstruct and select about $50$ $B^0 to K_S^0 pi^0$ candidates, and we measure $mathcal{A}_{{K^0pi^0}} = -0.40_{-0.44}^{+0.46} (text{stat}) pm 0.04 (text{syst})$ and $mathcal{B}(B^0 to K^0 pi^0) = [8.5_{-1.6}^{+1.7} (text{stat}) pm 1.2 (text{syst})] times 10^{-6}$. This is the first measurement of $CP$ violation in $B^0 to K^0pi^0$ decays reported by Belle II. The results agree with previous determinations and show a detector performance comparable with the best Belle results.
We report on a search for CP violation in tau -> K^0_S pi nu_tau decays using a data sample of 699 fb^{-1} collected in the Belle experiment at the KEKB electron-positron asymmetric-energy collider. The CP asymmetry is measured in four bins of the invariant mass of the K^0_S pi system and found to be compatible with zero with a precision of O(10^{-3}) in each mass bin. Limits for the CP violation parameter Im(eta_S) are given at a 90 % confidence level. These limits are |Im(eta_S)|<0.026 or better, depending on the parameterization used to describe the hadronic form factors and improve upon previous limits by one order of magnitude.
A search for charge-parity ($CP$) violation in Cabibbo-suppressed $D_s^+to K_S^0 pi^+$, $D^+to K_S^0 K^+$ and $D^+to phi pi^+$ decays is reported using proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.8 fb$^{-1}$, collected at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV with the LHCb detector. High-yield samples of kinematically and topologically similar Cabibbo-favored $D_{(s)}^+$ decays are analyzed to subtract nuisance asymmetries due to production and detection effects, including those induced by $CP$ violation in the neutral kaon system. The results are begin{align*} mathcal{A}_{CP}(D_s^+to K_S^0 pi^+) &=left(phantom{-}1.3phantom{0}pm1.9phantom{0}pm0.5phantom{0}right)times10^{-3}, mathcal{A}_{CP}(D^+to K_S^0 K^+) &=left(-0.09pm0.65pm0.48right)times10^{-3}, mathcal{A}_{CP}(D^+to phi pi^+) &=left(phantom{-}0.05pm0.42pm0.29right)times10^{-3}, end{align*} where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. They are the most precise measurements of these quantities to date, and are consistent with $CP$ symmetry.
A measurement of the decay time dependent CP-violating asymmetry in $B_s^0 to phiphi$ decays is presented, along with measurements of the $T$-odd triple-product asymmetries. In this decay channel, the CP-violating weak phase arises from the interference between $B_s^0$-$bar{B}_s^0$ mixing and the loop-induced decay amplitude. Using a sample of proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0, fb^{-1}$ collected with the LHCb detector, a signal yield of approximately 4000 $B_s^0 to phiphi$ decays is obtained. The CP-violating phase is measured to be ${phi_s =-0.17pm0.15mathrm{,(stat)}pm0.03mathrm{,(syst)}}$ rad. The triple-product asymmetries are measured to be ${A_U=-0.003pm0.017mathrm{,(stat)}pm0.006mathrm{,(syst)}}$ and ${A_V=-0.017pm0.017mathrm{,(stat)}pm0.006mathrm{,(syst)}}$. Results are consistent with the hypothesis of CP conservation.
We report a search for $B^{0}$ decays into invisible final states using a data sample of $657 times 10^{6}$ $Bbar{B}$ pairs collected at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider. The signal is identified by fully reconstructing a hadronic decay of the accompanying $B$ meson and requiring no other particles in the event. No significant signal is observed, and we obtain an upper limit of $1.3 times 10^{-4}$ at the 90% confidence level for the branching fraction of invisible $B^{0}$ decay.
