We present a detailed study of direct CP violation and branching ratios in the channels $B^{0,pm} to pi^{+}pi^{-} V^{0,pm}$, where $V$ is a vector meson ($K^{* 0,pm}$ or $rho^{pm}$). Emphasis is placed upon the important role played by ${{rho}^{0}}-{omega}$ mixing effects in the estimation of the CP-violating asymmetry parameter, $a_{cp}$, associated with the difference of $B$ and $bar B$ decay amplitudes. A thorough study of the helicity amplitudes is presented as a function of the pion-pion invariant mass. All of the calculations and simulations considered correspond to channels which will be analyzed at the LHCb facility.
Simulation methods for the decays $ B to {pi}^+ {pi}^- V$, where $V$ is a $1^{--}$ vector-meson, are presented in detail. Emphasis is put on the use of the helicity formalism and the use of effective Lagrangians. We show the importance of ${{rho}^{0}}-{omega}$ mixing in enhancing the direct $CP$ violation (DCPV) when the pion-pion invariant mass is near the mass of the $omega$.
We apply QCD factorization to the quasi two-body B ->(K pi) pi decays where the (K pi)-pair effective mass is limited to 1.8 GeV. Our strong interaction phases constrained by theory and pi-K experimental data yield useful information for studies of CP violation
The three-body charmless hadronic decay $B^0_s rightarrow K^{0}_{rm S} pi^{+}pi^{-}$ provides a number of novel possibilities to search for CP violation effects and test the Standard Model of particle physics. These include fits to the Dalitz-plot distributions of the decay-time-integrated final state, decay-time-dependent (but without initial state flavour tagging) fits to the Dalitz-plot distribution, as well as full decay-time-dependent and flavour tagged fits. The relative sensitivities of these different approaches are investigated.
Within the quasi-two-body decay model, we study the localized $CP$ violation and branching fraction of the four-body decay $bar{B}^0rightarrow [K^-pi^+]_{S/V}[pi^+pi^-]_{V/S} rightarrow K^-pi^+pi^-pi^+$ when $K^-pi^+$ and $pi^-pi^+$ pair invariant masses are $0.35<m_{K^-pi^+}<2.04 , mathrm{GeV}$ and $0<m_{pi^-pi^+}<1.06, mathrm{GeV}$, with the pairs being dominated by the $bar{K}^*_0(700)^0$, $bar{K}^*(892)^0$, $bar{K}^*(1410)^0$, $bar{K}^*_0(1430)$ and $bar{K}^*(1680)^0$, and $f_0(500)$, $rho^0(770)$ , $omega(782)$ and $f_0(980)$ resonances, respectively. When dealing with the dynamical functions of these resonances, $f_0(500)$, $rho^0(770)$, $f_0(980)$ and $bar{K}^*_0(1430)$ are modeled with the Bugg model, Gounaris-Sakurai function, Flatt$acute{mathrm{e}}$ formalism and LASS lineshape, respectively, while others are described by the relativistic Breit-Wigner function. Adopting the end point divergence parameters $rho_Ain[0,0.5]$ and $phi_Ain[0,2pi]$, our predicted results are $mathcal{A_{CP}}(bar{B}^0rightarrow K^-pi^+pi^+pi^-)in[-0.383,0.421]$ and $mathcal{B}(bar{B}^0rightarrow K^-pi^+pi^+pi^-)in[7.36,199.69]times10^{-8}$ based on the hypothetical $qbar{q}$ structures for the scalar mesons in the QCD factorization approach. Meanwhile, we calculate the $CP$ violating asymmetries and branching fractions of the two-body decays $bar{B}^0rightarrow SV(VS)$ and all the individual four-body decays $bar{B}^0rightarrow SV(VS) rightarrow K^-pi^+pi^-pi^+$, respectively. Our theoretical results for the two-body decays $bar{B}^0rightarrow bar{K}^*(892)^0$$f_0(980)$, $bar{B}^0rightarrow bar{K}^*_0(1430)^0$$omega(782)$, $bar{B}^0rightarrow bar{K}^*(892)^0f_0(980)$, $bar{B}^0rightarrowbar{K}^*_0(1430)^0rho$,
We search for CP violation in neutral charm meson decays using a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 966 fb^-1 collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- asymmetric-energy collider. The asymmetry obtained in the rate of D^0 and D^0-bar decays to the pi^0 pi^0 final state, [-0.03+-0.64(stat)+-0.10(syst)]%, is consistent with no CP violation. This constitutes an order of magnitude improvement over the existing result. We also present an updated measurement of the CP asymmetry in the D^0 -> K_S pi^0 decay: A_{CP}(D^0 -> K_S pi^0) = [-0.21+-0.16(stat)+-0.07(syst)]%.
