3 Helicity Helicity: Spin quantization along direction of motion.
4 Helicity Helicity: Spin quantization along direction of motion. Helicity is just the projection of the spin onto the direction of linear momentum. The helicity of a particle is right-handed if the direction of its spin is the same as the direction of its motion and left-handed if opposite. Because the eigenvalues of spin with respect to an axis have discrete values, the eigenvalues of helicity are also discrete.
5 Helicity Helicity: Spin quantization along direction of motion. In nature, only left-handed neutrinos and right-handed antineutrinos observed!! Violates C invariance: ν e and ν e should have identical weak interactions. Violates P invariance: Parity reverses momentum while leaving spin unchanged converts ν L into ν R.
6 Helicity Helicity: Spin quantization along direction of motion. In nature, only left-handed neutrinos and right-handed antineutrinos observed!! However, observation compatible with CP invariance: CP(ν L ) = ν R
7 Helicity of Goldhaber et al. measured helicity of neutrino in 1958: Europium Samarium e Eu (J = 0) 152 Sm (J = 1) + ν e electron capture from atomic K shell Sm (J = 1) Sm (J = 0) + γ
8 Helicity of The helicity of ν e was deduced from the measured helicity of the photon by applying angular momentum conservation. The polarization of the photons was determined from their absorption in magnetized iron. Only left-handed neutrinos observed!! (in later experiments, only right-handed antineutrinos observed)

10 The new theory makes some remarkable predictions: Heavy neutral vector boson Z 0 (+ weak reactions arising from the exchange) For example: ν α + N ν α + X Observed in 1973 neutral currents
11 Charged currents in weak decays of hadrons understood in terms of basic processes in which W ± bosons are emitted or absorped by their constituents quarks: W couples to leptons and quarks semileptonic decay: d u + e + ν e In contrast: leptonic process (W couples only to leptons) l + ν e l + ν e or e. g. τ µ + ν µ + ν τ

15 ( ) ( ) u c and d s g W = g u d = g ū d = g c s = g c s ( ) ( ) ν e ν µ e and µ d + ū W s + c W e + ν e W XXXXXXXXX allowed s + ū W d + c W e + ν µ W forbidden same coupling g W

17 Introduce quark mixing using Θ C Cabbibo angle d = d cos Θ C + s sin Θ C s = d sin Θ C + s cos Θ C and apply lepton-quark symmetry to ( ) ( ) u c d and s K s ū µ + ν µ now possible.
18 ( ) d s = ( cos θc sin θ C sin θ C cos θ C Introduce quark mixing using Θ C Cabbibo angle (Θ C 13 ) The transitions c d and s u, as compared to c s andthe d transitions u, arec therefore d and s suppressed u, as compared to byc a factor s and dof u, are sin 2 Θ C : cos 2 Θ C 1 : 20. ) ( ) d. (10.19) s Whether the state vectors d and s or the state vectors u and c are rotated, or indeed both pairs simultaneously, is a matter of convention alone. Only the difference in the rotation angles is of physical importance. Usually the vectors of the charge 1/3 quarks are rotated while those of the charge +2/3 quarksareleftuntouched. d = d cos Θ C + s sin Θ Experimentally, θ C is determined by comparing the lifetimes C and branching ratios of the s semi-leptonic and hadronic decays of various particles as shown in the sketch. This = d yields: sin Θ C + s cos Θ C sin θ C 0.22, and cos θ C (10.20) therefore suppressed by a factor of sin 2 θ C : cos 2 θ C 1:20.
