I review CP violation in the standard model (SM). I also describe the predictions for CP violation in the B system, along with signals for physics beyond the SM. I stress the numerous contributions of Pat O'Donnell to this subject. Finally, I discuss a new method for measuring new-physics parameters in B decays. This knowledge will allow us to partially identify any new physics which is found, before its direct production at high-energy colliders.

The Standard Model

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.

In this paper the analysis of W-boson production process in high-energy electron-photon collisions as a tool to search for deviations from the Standard Model is considered. In particular, a set of extended gauge models, including anomalous multi-boson interactions, are discussed as a promising way for «new physics» study. A numerical analysis of the total cross sections of the processes was carried out. The lowest order radiative corrections in the soft-photon approximation within the Standard Model are taken into account. Calculations beyond the Standard Model was performed, the kinematic features of the cross sections were identified. The restrictions on the anomalous triple gauge boson coupling constants were analyzed and the kinematic areas to the search for their manifestations were obtained during the experiments at the International Linear Collider. The paper shows that the search for «new physics» effects based on electron-photon collisions around the W-boson production peak is the maximal promising. It was also shown that future experiments at high luminosity linear colliders will significantly clarify the constraints on anomalous gauge coupling constants.

Flavour Violation

We review the status of rare decays and CP violation in extensions of the Standard Model. We analyze the determination of the unitarity triangle and the model-independent constraints on new physics that can be derived from this analysis. We find stringent bounds on new contributions to [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] mixing, pointing either to models of minimal flavour violation or to models with new sources of flavour and CP violation in b → s transitions. We discuss the status of the universal unitarity triangle in minimal flavour violation, and study rare decays in this class of models. We then turn to supersymmetric models with nontrivial mixing between second and third generation squarks, discuss the present constraints on this mixing and analyze the possible effects on CP violation in b → s nonleptonic decays and on [Formula: see text] mixing. We conclude presenting an outlook on Lepton-Photon 2009.

The Impact

This paper describes the work pursued in the years 2008–2013 on improving the Standard Model prediction of selected flavor-physics observables. The latter includes: (1) [Formula: see text], that quantifies indirect CP violation in the [Formula: see text] system and (2) the very rare decay [Formula: see text], recently measured at the LHC. Concerning point (1), the paper describes our reappraisal of the long-distance contributions to [Formula: see text],[Formula: see text] that have permitted to unveil a potential tension between CP violation in the [Formula: see text]- and [Formula: see text]-system. Concerning point (2), the paper gives a detailed account of various systematic effects pointed out in Ref. 4 and affecting the Standard Model [Formula: see text] decay rate at the level of 10% — hence large enough to be potentially misinterpreted as nonstandard physics, if not properly included. The paper further describes the multifaceted importance of the [Formula: see text] decays as new physics probes, for instance how they compare with [Formula: see text]-peak observables at LEP, following the effective-theory approach of Ref. 5. Both cases (1) and (2) offer clear examples in which the pursuit of precision in Standard Model predictions offered potential avenues to discovery. Finally, this paper describes the impact of the above results on the literature, and what is the further progress to be expected on these and related observables.

Theoretical Predictions

Rare B-decays induced by flavour-changing neutral currents (FCNC) is one of the promising candidates for probing physics beyond the Standard model. However, for identifying potential new physics from the data, reliable control over QCD contributions is necessary. We focus on one of such QCD contributions – the charming loops – that potentially can lead to difficulties in disentangling new physics effects from the observable and discuss the possibility to gain control over theoretical predictions for charming loops.

The narrative of these lectures contains three main threads: (i) CP violation despite having so far been observed only in the decays of neutral kaons has been recognized as a phenomenon of truly fundamental importance. The KM ansatz constitutes the minimal implementation of CP violation: without requiring unknown degrees of freedom it can reproduce the known CP phenomenology in a nontrivial way. (ii) The physics of beauty hadrons — in particular their weak decays — opens a novel window onto fundamental dynamics: they usher in a new quark family (presumably the last one); they allow us to determine fundamental quantities of the Standard Model like the b quark mass and the CKM parameters V(cb), V(ub), V(ts) and V(td); they exhibit speedy or even rapid [Formula: see text] oscillations. (iii) Heavy Quark Expansions allow us to treat B decays with an accuracy that would not have been thought possible a mere decade ago. These three threads are joined together in the following manner: (a) Huge CP asymmetries are predicted in B decays, which represents a decisive test of the KM paradigm for CP violation. (b) Some of these predictions are made with high parametric reliability, which (c) can be translated into numerical precision through the judicious employment of novel theoretical technologies. (d) Beauty decays thus provide us with a rich and promising field to search for New Physics and even study some of its salient features. At the end of it there might quite possibly be a New Paradigm for High Energy Physics. There will be some other threads woven into this tapestry: electric dipole moments, and CP violation in other strange and in charm decays.

Recent searches for physics beyond the Standard Model at high energy colliders are presented. The main focus is on searches for supersymmetry, extra dimensions and new gauge bosons. In all search analyses the data are found to agree well with the Standard Model background expectation and no evidence for contributions from physics beyond the Standard Model is found. The data are thus used to place limits on new physics scenarios.
