We describe a measurement of the direct CP asymmetry between inclusive b -> s gamma and bbar -> sbar gamma decays. This asymmetry is expected to be less than 0.01 in the Standard Model, but could be enhanced up to about 0.10 by new physics contributions. We use a sample of 89 million BB pairs recorded with the BaBar detector at PEP-II, from which we reconstruct a set of 12 exclusive b -> s gamma final states containing one charged or neutral kaon and one to three pions. We measure an asymmetry of A_CP(b -> s gamma) = 0.025 +/- 0.050(stat.) +/- 0.015(syst.), corresponding to an allowed range of -0.06 < A_CP(b -> s gamma) < +0.11 at 90% confidence level.

We report the measurement of the direct $CP$ asymmetry in the radiative $bar{B}rightarrow X_{s+d}gamma$ decay using a data sample of $(772 pm 11)times 10^6$ $Bbar{B}$ pairs collected at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. The $CP$ asymmetry is measured as a function of the photon energy threshold. For $E^{rm{*}}_{gamma} geq 2.1~{rm{GeV}}$, where $E^{rm{*}}_{gamma}$ is the photon energy in the center-of-mass frame, we obtain $mathcal{A}_{CP}(bar{B}rightarrow X_{s+d}gamma)= (2.2 pm 3.9 pm 0.9) %$, consistent with the Standard Model prediction.
A measurement of the $CP$ asymmetry in $B^+ rightarrow K^+ mu^+ mu^-$ decays is presented using $pp$ collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0${,fb}^{-1}$, recorded by the LHCb experiment during 2011 at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The measurement is performed in seven bins of $mu^+ mu^-$ invariant mass squared in the range ${0.05<q^{2}<22.00{mathrm{GeV^2/}c^4}}$, excluding the ${J/psi}$ and $psi{(2S)}$ resonance regions. Production and detection asymmetries are corrected for using the $B^+ rightarrow J/psi K^+$ decay as a control mode. Averaged over all the bins, the $CP$ asymmetry is found to be ${{cal A}_{CP} = 0.000pm 0.033{(stat.)} pm0.005 {(syst.)} pm 0.007{}(J/psi K^+)}$, where the third uncertainty is due to the $CP$ asymmetry of the control mode. This is consistent with the Standard Model prediction.
We report measurements of isospin asymmetry $Delta_{0-}$ and difference of direct $CP$ asymmetries $Delta A_{CP}$ between charged and neutral $B to X_s gamma$ decays. This analysis is based on the data sample containing $772 times 10^6 Bbar{B}$ pairs that was collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB energy-asymmetric $e^+ e^-$ collider. Using a sum-of-exclusive technique with invariant $X_s$ mass up to 2.8~GeV/$c^2$, we obtain $Delta_{0-} = bigl[-0.48 pm 1.49 {rm (stat.)} pm 0.97 {rm (syst.)} pm 1.15 {(f_{+-}/f_{00})}bigr]$% and $Delta A_{CP} = bigl[+3.69 pm 2.65 {rm (stat.)} pm 0.76{rm (syst.)}bigr]$%, where the last uncertainty for $Delta_{0-}$ is due to the uncertainty on the production ratio of $B^+B^-$ to $B^0bar{B}^0$ in $Upsilon(4S)$ decays. The measured value of $Delta_{0-}$ is consistent with zero, allowing us to constrain the resolved photon contribution in the $B to X_s gamma$, and improve the branching fraction prediction. The result for $Delta A_{CP}$ is consistent with the prediction of the SM. We also measure the direct $CP$ asymmetries for charged and neutral $B to X_s gamma$ decays. All the measurements are the most precise to date.
We show that in the Standard Model the parametrically leading (by a factor 1/alpha_s) contribution to the inclusive CP asymmetry in B->X_{s,d}+gamma decays arises from a long-distance effect in the interference of the electromagnetic dipole amplitude with the amplitude for an up-quark penguin transition accompanied by soft gluon emission. This contribution is governed by a single hadronic parameter Lambda_{17}^u related to a matrix elements of a non-local operator. In view of current experimental data, a future precision measurement of the flavor-averaged CP asymmetry in B->X_s+gamma will signal the presence of new physics only if a value below -2% is found. A cleaner probe of new physics is offered by the difference of the CP asymmetries in charged versus neutral B-meson decays.
The Belle experiment, running at the KEKB e^+ e^- asymmetric energy collider during the first decade of the century, has recorded 770 fb^-1 of data at the Upsilon(4S) resonance. A combination of recent Belle results obtained with this sample is used to perform a measurement of the CKM angle gamma. We use B^+- -> DK^+- and B^+- -> D^*K^+- decays where the D meson decays into K_S^0pi+pi-, Kpi, KK, pipi, K_S^0 pi^0 and K_S^0 eta final states and D^* decays into Dpi^0 and Dgamma. Belle obtains the most precise gamma measurement to date, gamma = (68^{+15}_{-14}) degree.
