Abstract

CP violation from physics beyond the Standard Model is investigated in decays: . In the decay process, we include various excited states as intermediate states decaying to the final hadrons, . We consider the semileptonic decay to a tau lepton family as well. The CP violation is implemented through complex scalar--fermion couplings in the multi-Higgs doublet model and scalar-leptoquark models beyond the Standard Model. With these complex couplings, we calculate the CP-odd rate asymmetry and the optimal asymmetry. We find that for decays the optimal asymmetry is sizable and can be detected at level with about - -meson pairs, for maximally-allowed values of CP-odd parameters in those extended models.
