We report the first observation of a manifestly CP violating effect in the K(L)->pi+pi-e+e- decay mode. A large asymmetry was observed in the distribution of these decays in the CP-odd and T-odd angle phi between the decay planes of the e+e- and pi+pi- pairs in the K(L) center of mass system. After acceptance corrections, the overall asymmetry is found to be 13.6+-2.5 (stat) +-1.2 (syst)%. This is the largest CP-violating effect yet observed integrating over the entire phase space of a mode and the first such effect observed in an angular variable.

Using $e^{+}e^{-}$ collision data samples with center-of-mass energies ranging from 2.000 to 2.644 GeV, collected by the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, and with a total integrated luminosity of 300 pb^{-1}, a partial-wave analysis is performed for the process $e^{+}e^{-} to K^{+}K^{-}pi^{0}pi^{0}$. The total Born cross sections for the process $e^{+}e^{-} to K^{+}K^{-}pi^{0}pi^{0}$, as well as the Born cross sections f or the subprocesses $e^{+}e^{-} to phi pi^{0}pi^{0}$, $K^{+}(1460)K^{-}$, $K^{+}_{1}(1400)K^{-}$, $K^{+}_{1}(1270)K^{-}$ and $K^{*+}(892)K^{*-}(892)$, are measured versus the center-of-mass energy. The corresponding results for $e^{+}e^{-} to K^{+}K^{-}pi^{0}pi^{0}$ and $phi pi^{0}pi^{0}$ are consistent with those of BaBar and have much improved precision.By analyzing the cross sections for the four subprocesses, $K^{+}(1460)K^{-}$, $K^{+}_{1}(1400)K^{-}$, $K^{+ }_{1}(1270)K^{-}$ and $K^{*+}K^{*-}$, a structure with mass $M$ = (2126.5 $pm$ 16.8 $pm$ 12.4)~MeV/c^{2} and width $Gamma$ = (106.9 $pm$ 32.1 $pm$ 28.1)~MeV is observed with an overall statistical significance of 6.3 $sigma$, although with very limited significance in the subprocesses $e^{+}e^{-} to K^{+}_{1}(1270)K^{-}$ and $K^{*+}(892)K^{*-}(892)$. The resonant parameters of the observed structure suggest it can be identified with the $phi(2170)$, thus the results provide valuable input to the internal nature of the $phi(2170)$.
Observations are reported of different sources of $CP$ violation from an amplitude analysis of $B^+ to pi^+ pi^+ pi^-$ decays, based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3 ; {rm fb}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions recorded with the LHCb detector. A large $CP$ asymmetry is observed in the decay amplitude involving the tensor $f_2(1270)$ resonance, and in addition significant $CP$ violation is found in the $pi^+ pi^-$ S-wave at low invariant mass. The presence of $CP$ violation related to interference between the $pi^+ pi^-$ S-wave and the P-wave $B^+ to rho(770)^0 pi^+$ amplitude is also established; this causes large local asymmetries but cancels when integrated over the phase space of the decay. The results provide both qualitative and quantitative new insights into $CP$-violation effects in hadronic $B$ decays.
A search for CP violation in the phase-space structures of D0 and D0bar decays to the final states K-K+pi-pi+ and pi-pi+pi+pi- is presented. The search is carried out with a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0fb^-1 collected in 2011 by the LHCb experiment in $pp$ collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7TeV. For the K-K+pi-pi+ final state, the four-body phase space is divided into 32 bins, each bin with approximately 1800 decays. The p-value under the hypothesis of no CP violation is 9.1%, and in no bin is a CP asymmetry greater than 6.5% observed. The phase space of the pi-pi+pi+pi- final state is partitioned into 128 bins, each bin with approximately 2500 decays. The $p$-value under the hypothesis of no CP violation is 41%, and in no bin is a CP asymmetry greater than 5.5% observed. All results are consistent with the hypothesis of no CP violation at the current sensitivity.
A model-independent search for direct CP violation in the Cabibbo suppressed decay $D^+ to K^- K^+pi^+$ in a sample of approximately 370,000 decays is carried out. The data were collected by the LHCb experiment in 2010 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35 pb$^{-1}$. The normalized Dalitz plot distributions for $D^+$ and $D^-$ are compared using four different binning schemes that are sensitive to different manifestations of CP violation. No evidence for CP asymmetry is found.
We present new results on the related rare KL decay modes KL -> pi+ pi- gamma and KL -> pi+ pi- e+ e-. KTeV has performed the first direct measurement of the form factor for the direct emission component of KL -> pi+ pi- gamma decays, a quantity with ramifications for particular chiral models. In addition, the form factor and direct emission/inner bremsstrahlung branching ratio - also presented here - are important input parameters for the understanding of the planar-angle distribution of KL -> pi+ pi- e+ e- decays. Preliminary results indicating the presence of a T-violating asymmetry in the KL -> pi+ pi- e+ e- angular distribution are presented.
