I review several topics involving CP violation with heavy hadrons. In particular, I discuss (i) Hyperons: CP violation in the decay Λ → pπ, (ii) Charm: indirect CP violation in the D system, both within and beyond the SM, and (iii) Beauty: indirect CP violation in the neutral B-meson system beyond the SM.

We show that for a metastable system there exists a theoretical possibility of a violation of the Clausius inequality without a violation of the second law. Possibilities of experimental detection of this hypothetical violation are pointed out. The question which will be considered here is the possibility of a violation of the Clausius inequality ∮ δQ

We review theoretical and experimental results on CP violation summarizing the discussions in the working group on CP violation at the UK phenomenology workshop 2000 in Durham. ‡ To Appear in Journal of Physics G; Contribution of Working Group 4 to the UK Phenomenology Workshop on Heavy Flavour and CP Violation, Durham, 17 22 September 2000 CP Violation, UK Phenomenology Workshop 2000 2

We study CP violation in a multi-Higgs doublet model based on a S3 × Z3 horizontal symmetry where CKM phase is not the principal source of CP violation. We consider two mechanisms for CP violation in this model: a) CP violation due to complex Yukawa couplings; and b) CP violation due to scalar-pseudoscalar Higgs boson mixings. Both mechanisms can explain the observed CP violation in the neutral...

The MSSM with R-Parity violation allows flavour changing neutral currents through two mechanisms, directly through one loop diagrams, and indirectly through the generation of flavour violation in the sparticle sector. We discuss the use of these mechanisms for constraining R-Parity violation, and show that the indirect mechanism parametrised in terms of the running of the soft masses from the u...

Although previous research has suggested a link between sexual resistance and the violation of the resisted partner’s expectations, communication scholars have yet to utilize expectancy violation theory in a sexual resistance context. As such, the current study examines the resisted individual’s perception of sexual resistance message directness and relational context in terms of three aspects ...

Recently, scholars have emphasized the importance of examining how employees cope with psychological contract violation and how the coping process contributes to psychological contract violation resolution and post-violation psychological contracts. Recent work points to the important role of problem-focused coping. Yet, to date, problem-focused coping strategies have not been conceptualized on...

Time (T) violation can be related with charge-parity (CP) violation through the CPT theorem. The CP violation was discovered experimentally in the K0-meson decays about 35 years ago. The T violating interaction related with the CP violation violates parity as well. However, an extension of the theory beyond the locality of the interactions might violate the CPT theorem. The result of the CPLEAR...
