2 CPT: introduction The three discrete symmetries of QM, C (charge conjugation), P (parity), and T (time reversal) are known to be violated in nature both singly and in pairs. Only CPT appears to be an exact symmetry of nature. CPT theorem (Luders, Jost, Pauli, Bell ): Exact CPT invariance holds for any quantum field theory which assumes: (1) Lorentz invariance (2) Locality (3) Unitarity (i.e. conservation of probability). Testing the validity of the CPT symmetry probes the most fundamental assumptions of our present understanding of particles and their interactions. Extension of CPT theorem to a theory of quantum gravity far from obvious (e.g. CPT violation appears in some models with space-time foam backgrounds). No predictive theory incorporating CPT violation => only phenomenological models to be constrained by experiments.

3 CPT: introduction Consequences of CPT symmetry: equality of masses, lifetimes, q and µ of a particle and its anti-particle. Neutral meson systems are the most intriguing systems in nature; they offer unique possibilities to test CPT invariance; e.g. taking as figure of merit the fractional difference between the masses of a particle and its anti-particle: neutral system neutral B system proton- anti-proton

53 Conclusions Neutral meson systems are unique and excellent laboratories for the study of CPT symmetry, and the basic principles of quantum mechanics. Several parameters related to possible CPT violation (within QM) Decoherence and CPT violation CPT violation and Lorentz symmetry breaking have been recently measured at LOE for mesons and at Belle and Babar for B mesons, with very high precision, especially for kaons. In some cases the precision reaches the interesting Planck s scale region. All results are consistent with no CPT violation. CPT symmetry and QM tests are one of the main issues of the LOE-2 physics program; a significant improvement in the precision is expected. Improvements in CPT tests are expected at Super B-factories
