Important new results have been presented at this conference. The direct violation of CP in K0 → π + π has been firmly established in two independent experiments, NA48 at CERN and KTeV at Fermilab. Both Babar at SLAC and Belle at Kek have determined the CP violation in [Formula: see text] oscillations through the study of the golden KS + Ψ decay mode. The observed CP violation agrees with the expectations of the Standard model, based on the quark-mixing phenomenon. The first results of the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory, SNO, suggest that the long-lasting solar neutrino puzzle has been finally solved in terms of neutrino oscillations. Results appeared after the conference which modify the theoretical prediction of the muon anomaly. This new result, if confirmed, would drastically reduce the significance of the discrepancy between the theoretically expected value for the muon anomaly and the recent results of the Brookhaven experiment.

We study the direct CP violation effect in the decay mode B+→ϕK+. This decay mode is dominated by the loop induced [Formula: see text] penguin diagram with a tiny contribution from the annihilation diagram. Therefore, the standard model expectation of direct CP violation is negligibly small. Using QCD factorization approach we find the CP asymmetry in the standard model to be at percent level. We consider then two scenarios beyond the standard model, the model with an extra vector-like down quark (VLDQ) and the R-parity violating supersymmetric model (RPV) and show that the direct CP violating asymmetry in B+→ϕK+ could be as large as ~ 85% (70%) in VLDQ (RPV) model.

We propose a model of soft CP violation that evades the strong CP problem and can describe observed CP violation in the neutral kaon sector, both direct and indirect. Our model requires two "duark" mesons carrying quark number two that have complex (CP-violating) bare masses and are coupled to quark pairs. Aside from the existence of these potentially observable new particles with masses of several hundred GeV, we predict a flat unitarily triangle (i.e., no observable direct CP violation in the B-meson sector) and a possibly anomalous branching ratio for the decay mode [Formula: see text].

Abstract We propose a framework where a phase transition associated with a gauge symmetry breaking that occurs (not far) above the electroweak scale sets a stage for baryogenesis similar to the electroweak baryogenesis in the Standard Model. A concrete realization utilizes the breaking of SU(2)R× U(1)X→ U(1)Y. New chiral fermions charged under the extended gauge symmetry have nonzero lepton numbers, which makes the B − L symmetry anomalous. The new lepton sector contains a large flavor-dependent CP violation, similar to the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa phase, without inducing sizable electric dipole moments of the Standard Model particles. A bubble wall dynamics associated with the first-order phase transition and SU(2)R sphaleron processes generate a lepton asymmetry, which is transferred into a baryon asymmetry via the ordinary electroweak sphaleron process. Unlike the Standard Model electroweak baryogenesis, the new phase transition can be of the strong first order and the new CP violation is not significantly suppressed by Yukawa couplings, so that the observed asymmetry can be produced. The model can be probed by collider searches for new particles and the observation of gravitational waves. One of the new leptons becomes a dark matter candidate. The model can be also embedded into a left-right symmetric theory to solve the strong CP problem.

The ultrahigh energy neutrino cross section is well understood in the standard model for neutrino energies up to 1012 GeV, Tests of neutrino oscillations (νμ ↔ ντ) from extragalactic sources of neutrinos are possible with large underground detectors. Measurements of horizontal air shower event rates at neutrino energies above 1010 GeV will be able to constrain nonstandard model contributions to the neutrino-nucleon cross section, e.g., from mini-black hole production.

This review paper stresses the possible connection between time-reversal violation and new physics processes beyond the standard model. In particular, this violation is proposed as an alternative to CP violation in the search for such unkown processes. Emphasis is put on the weak decays of heavy hadrons, especially beauty ones. Specific methods for extracting useful parameters from experimental data are elaborated in order to test TR symmetry. These methods could be used successfully in the analysis of the LHC data.
