1 Understanding the Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry of the Universe Understanding the Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry of the Universe (page 1)

2 Fundamental Particle What is the world made of? In ancient times, people sought to organize the world into fundamental elements: earth, air, fire, and water. Who first classified these fundamental elements? Greek thinker Empedocles (500 BC) Are they really the fundamental elements? Understanding the Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry of the Universe (page 2)

3 Fundamental Particle... The ancient Chinese believed 5 basic elements: Wood Metal Earth Fire Water The ancient India proclaimed 5 basic elements: Space Air Fire Water Earth Understanding the Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry of the Universe (page 3)

4 Is the Atom or Nucleus Fundamental? Fundamental building blocks mean objects that are simple and structureless Scientists originally thought the nucleus was fundamental BUT later they discovered that nucleus was made of protons and neutrons Understanding the Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry of the Universe (page 4)

5 The Birth of the Universe After the Big bang exploded with enormous energy, the universe began to cool-down that has lasted until our own time BUT we don t know what made the Big Bang happen in the first place Understanding the Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry of the Universe (page 5)

6 The Standard Model Theory All the known matter particles are composites of 6 quarks and 6 leptons and they interact by exchanging force carrier particles: Electromagnetic (γ), Weak (Z 0, W ± ), and Strong (gluons) Gravity (not yet in the model...) Understanding the Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry of the Universe (page 6)

7 The Standard Model Theory... Hadrons are composite particles made of quarks: Baryons are any hadron which is made of three quarks (qqq) proton (uud) and antiproton (ūū d) Mesons contain one quark (q) and one antiquark ( q) B 0 (d b) and B 0 ( db) Understanding the Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry of the Universe (page 7)

8 Looking for New Particles All new particles are named with Greek letters We have discovered about 200 particles Enrico Fermi (Nobel 1938) said to his student Leon Lederman (Nobel 1988): Young man, if I could remember the names of these particles, I would have been a botanist! All measurements are combined and listed in one book by Particle Data Group (PDG) at Berkeley University. PDG is an international collaboration charged with summarizing Particle Physics and related areas of Cosmology and Astrophysics since PDG published 1200-page book, all years it has been cited in 24,000 times U. Miss has significantly contributed to and member of PDG (R. Godang) Understanding the Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry of the Universe (page 8)

9 What Do We Know about Matter and Antimatter? Antimatter is a mirror image of matter Particle and antiparticle have identical mass and spin BUT opposite charges Neutral bosons (e.g. Z 0, γ) have their own antiparticles The antimatter introduced by Paul Dirac (Nobel Prize 1933) in 1928 Dirac s equation electron with ± energy 1932 Carl Anderson discovered the positron in a cloud chamber Frederic and Irene Curie found positrons emission The Big Bang produced matter and antimatter in equal numbers Our universe is the absence of antimatter (we live in a universe of matter) What happened to the antimatter...? Understanding the Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry of the Universe (page 9)

10 What Happened to the Antimatter? How do we know there is no antimatter around? When a matter and antimatter meet, they annihilate into pure energy, leaving only photons and neutrinos The fact: we don t see this kind of energy in our daily life Can we see the evidence of antimatter? The magnetic field makes negative particles curl left, positive particles curl right Understanding the Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry of the Universe (page 10)

11 Why the Universe is Made Exclusively of Matter? Andrei Sakharov (1967): Baryon violating interactions Thermal non-equilibrium situation CP violation Testing the Sakharov s criteria: There is no direct evidence that baryon number is violated There is a prediction of proton decay: p e + + π 0 but the predicted proton lifetime is year (not observed) In thermal equilibrium the particle density depends only on the particle mass and temperature. They are identical in CPT theorem NO asymmetry Understanding the Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry of the Universe (page 11)

12 CP Violation in Weak Interaction C (Charge Conjugation Invariance) Charge conjugation invariance is broken in weak interaction Right-handed neutrinos (left-handed antineutrinos) are not seen P (Parity) = the flip in the sign of all spatial coordinates Parity is broken in weak interaction There is no left-handed antiparticles CP: Charge Conjugation with Parity Invariance CP is conserved in weak interaction (left-handed neutrino) but... Christension, Cronin, Fitch and Turlay have discovered CP violation in Kaon system (1964) confirmed by KTEV (Fermilab) and NA48 (CERN) Understanding the Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry of the Universe (page 12)

13 The B Meson Factories BABAR at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center Another B-factory machine is at KEKB (Tsukuba) in Japan Understanding the Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry of the Universe (page 13)

14 CP Violation in B Meson BABAR and Belle directly measured CP violation in B system BABAR : e + (3.1 GeV) - e (9 GeV) Belle : e + (3.5 GeV) - e (8 GeV) In 1999 BABAR and Belle had first colliding beam In 2001 BABAR and Belle reported the first measurement of direct CP violation in B meson fundamental matter-antimatter asymmetry Understanding the Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry of the Universe (page 14)

17 The CKM Matrix In SM, quark can change flavor by weak interactions: d s = b V ud V us V ub V cd V cs V cb V td V ts V tb d s b Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix [Weak eigenstates] = [V CKM ] [quark mass eigenstates] The CKM matrix contains real and imaginary numbers (complex numbers) Wolfenstein s CKM matrix form: V CKM = λ2 λ Aλ 3 (ρ iη) λ λ2 Aλ 2 Aλ 3 (1 ρ iη) Aλ 2 1 Four independent parameters: A, ρ, η, and λ 0.22 (expansion parameter) A, ρ, η are real numbers and can be measured in B decays Understanding the Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry of the Universe (page 17)

18 The CKM Matrix... By applying the unitarity condition (scalar product of any two rows or columns): V ub V ud + V cb V cd + V tb V td = 0 CKM matrix can be presented by a triangle in the complex plane b ul ν B + - π π B 0 B 0 mixing B ργ * ud ub V V γ α V cd Vcb * V V * td tb β B S ρk S B + D 0 cp K + B ππ, Κπ b cl ν B ψk S It is very important to measure the CKM angles and its sides! We need to measure them precisely in order to search for New Physics Understanding the Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry of the Universe (page 18)

19 The Unitarity Triangle (UT) The UT sides R u and R t can be expressed: η (ρ,η) α R u R t R u = V ud V ub V cd V cb γ (0,0) (1,0) ρ = 2 + η 2 R t = β V td V tb V cd V cb ρ = (1 ρ) 2 + η 2 The angles α, β, and γ are defined by α = arg [ V tdvtb ] V ud Vub, β = arg [ V cdvcb ] V td Vtb, γ = arg [ V udvub ] V cd Vcb B factories and other experiments measure (α = π β γ) cosγ = ρ/r u, sinγ = η/r u cosβ = (1 ρ)/r t, sinβ = η/r t Understanding the Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry of the Universe (page 19)

20 How to Measure the UT The Unitarity Triangle plane for the relevant observables: 2 sin γ sin 2β sin γ sin 2β K + π + νν m d 0.5 ε, /ε K, K 0 L π 0 νν α η 0 ε K γ β K 0 π 0 νν -0.5 V ub /V cb sin 2α -1 sin 2α -1.5 K + π + νν ε K ρ Sin 2β (CP violation) measurement is the main goal of BABAR and Belle Surprisingly BABAR and Belle discovered several other new particles: massive particle Y(4260) (2005) and Ds (2317) (2003) Understanding the Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry of the Universe (page 20)

23 How to measure CP Violation in B System The time-dependent CP violation asymmetry: A CP ( t) f +( t) f ( t) f + ( t) + f ( t) = η f sin2β sin ( m d t), where η f = ±1, CP eigenvalue of the final state f m d = the B 0 B 0 oscillation frequency t = t rec t tag, βγ = 0.56, z βγc t z = βγcτ B µm β = arg ] [ V cdv cb V td Vtb β is the angle of the UT of the CKM matrix The direct measurement of sin2β is the CP asymmetry Understanding the Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry of the Universe (page 23)

27 The Unitarity Triangle Sides B factories has improved our understanding of CP violation : excluded at CL > 0.95 sin 2β = ± (a precision measurement of 4.7%) This precision outstripped the other measurements As for today measurements V ub and V cb are complementary to sin 2β excluded at CL > 0.95 η excluded area has CL > 0.95 sin 2β γ α sol. w/ cos 2β < 0 (excl. at CL > 0.95) 0.1 γ β Using only angle measurements ρ α C K M f i t t e r EPS 2005 η excluded area has CL > 0.95 sin 2β ε K m d γ α m s & m d sol. w/ cos 2β < 0 (excl. at CL > 0.95) 0.1 V ub /V cb γ β Without angle measurements ρ α C K M f i t t e r EPS 2005 It is clear that we have to make the green ring ( V ub V cb ) thinner in order to make a stringent test on the Standard Model We need to improve a precision of V ub (especially) and V cb Understanding the Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry of the Universe (page 27)

28 Semileptonic B Decays Why do we use semileptonic B Decays? Simple theoretical description at parton level B flavor can be identified from charge of lepton Coupling at W is proportional to V ub and V cb which is directly related in its decay rate : Γ(b ulν) = Γ(b clν) = G2 F 192π 2 V ub 2 m 5 b G2 F V 192π 2 cb 2 m 2 b (m b m c ) 3 Experimental Approaches : Sensitive to strong interactions in B decays Exclusive measurements need form factors to describe the B transition Inclusive measurements need Operator Product Expansion (OPE) and b mass to extract V xb Understanding the Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry of the Universe (page 28)

29 The Unitarity Triangle Status The current average angle results: α = (92.1 ± 5.1) ; β = (24.6 ± 1.7) ; γ = (63.1 ± 5.0) A precision measurement of V ub V cb would significantly improve the constraints on the Unitary Triangle in SM = It could benchmark for New Physics Current precision of V ub and V cb measurements : ( V ub V ub ) = (3.3 exp ± 2.9 model ± 4.7 SF ± 4.0 th )% = 7.6% ( V cb V cb ) = 2%. (OPE fit of E l and M X moments by BABAR ) = It contributes directly to a precision of ( V td V td ) BABAR has double the data in 2006 (0.5 ab 1 ) We hope to quadruple the data by 2008 (1 ab 1 ) Understanding the Matter-Antimatter Asymmetry of the Universe (page 29)

30 Search for Higgs Particle How the elementary particles get their mass? Higgs mechanism (Peter Higgs, 1964) play a central role in the unification of electromagnetic and weak interaction by providing W ± and Z 0 bosons It implies the existence of a single neutral scalar particle so called Higgs particle yet Leon Lederman called it God particle The challenge: Higgs mass is a free parameter in the SM what is the Higgs mass range? The first search of Higgs was done by LEP, CERN (2003) yield a lower limit: M H > GeV (C.L. only) Can Fermilab (D0 and/or CDF) discover the Higgs particle before the more powerful collider, LHC turn on (2007)?
