2 Friday: CP-Violation Violation of Particle Anti-particle Symmetry Symmetries Parity-Operation and Charge-Conjugation The neutral K-Meson-System Discovery of CP-violation (1964) CP-Violation in the Standard model Measurements at the CPLEAR Experiment (CP Violation in K 0 -Mixing) Slides only: Latest Results from NA48 (CP Violation in K 0 -Decays) Monday: Recap: Discovery of CP-Violation The neutral B-Meson-System CKM Matrix and Unitarity Triangle Prediction for the B-System from K-Results B-Factories BaBar and Belle (Test of Standard Model) Future Experiments, CP-Violation in the Lepton-Sector? Summary

3 The Universe Matter exceeds Antimatter, why? Big-Bang model: Creation of matter and antimatter in equal amounts Baryogenesis: Where did the antimatter go? Three necessary conditions for Baryogenesis: A. Sacharov, 1967 Baryon-number violation no problem for gauge theories but not seen yet Thermodynamical non-equilibrium C and CP-violation (!) What is CP-Violation?

4 CP: Symmetry between Particles and Antiparticles CP-Symmetry is known to be broken: The Universe Matter only, no significant amount of antimatter The neutral K-Meson (most of todays lecture) discovered 1964 (Fitch, Cronin, Nobel-Prize 1980) almost 40 years of K-physics with increasing precision The neutral B-Meson (on Monday) measured 2001 (expected in Standard Model)

7 Parity is fully violated.

8 Symmetry broken here?

9 Symmetries in Physics Rotational symmetry around z y Symmetry broken φ-angle y (x,y,z) or (r, θ,φ) x x z z Reduced number of variables Simplified description More variables needed Harder to calculate

10 Symmetries in Physics System is invariant w.r.t transformation symmetry Continuous transformations Conservation Law Translation in time Homogeneity of time Energy Translation in space Homogeneity of space Momentum Rotation in space Isotropy of space Angular momentum Gauge transformation charge Symmetry Conservation Law E.Noether, 1918 (for continuous symmetries only) Discrete transformations Parity Charge conjugation Time-reversal mirror matter antimatter playing the movie backwards

11 Translation Rotation Reflection (parity) R RRRRRRRRR R RRRR RRRRRR R R continuous continuous discrete

12 Discrete Symmetries Parity Transformation: P : r = (x, y, z) r = ( x, y, z) QM System is invariant under Parity transformation P if P is the same for initial and final state P is a good quantum number P [ commutates with Hamiltonian, P, Ĥ] = 0

13 Parity-Operation Parity Operation on a quantum mechanical state, ie. wavefunction: P ψ( r, t) = P a ψ( r, t) Possible Eigenvalues of the Parity-Operator are ±1. P P ψ( r, t) = ψ( r, t) P 2 a = 1 P a = ±1 A consequence of the Dirac-equation is that the parity of fermions and antifermions must be opposite: P f P f = 1 This has experimentally been confirmed in e + + e γγ

16 CPT P : x x Parity mirror Ĉ : q q Charge-conjugation matter antimatter T : t t Time-reversal playing the movie backwards CPT-Theorem: In relativistic field theories CPT is a fundamental symmetry Particle and antiparticle must have same mass, lifetime, charge,... T : Play the movie backwards, P : look at it in a mirror, Ĉ : change everything (including yourself!?) into antimatter the laws of physics must be the same.

17 Interactions vs. Symmetries Interaction particles medium lifetime [s] C P CP T CPT strong quarks gluons el-mag. charged photon weak all W ±, Z X X X X In weak interactions: P and C are maximally violated CP is violated T is violated In all interactions: CPT is conserved

18 Historical Overview 1954: CPT Theorem: In 1954 C,P and T were believed to be conserved individually 1957: Parity and Charge-Conjugation are broken Wu et al., Lee, Yang, Nobel Prize : First theory of charged weak interactions (V-A theory) 1964: Discovery of CP-violation Fitch, Cronin et al, Nobel Prize : CKM Matrix, Kobayashi, Maskawa CP violation possible within Standard model, if 3 generations of quarks 1974: Discovery of the Charm Quark Ting, Richter, Nobel Prize : Discovery of the Beauty Quark 1988: Direct CP violation (NA31 Experiment, CERN) 1995: Discovery of the Top Quark 2001: Measurement of CP violation in the B-Meson System

19 Wu et al., 1957 Discovery of Parity-Violation β-decay: 60 Co(J = 5) 60 Ni (J = 4) + e (J = 1/2) + ν e (J = 1/2) Distribution of decay electrons opposite to direction of spin

20 P and C-Violation in the π-decay Left-handed neutrinos and right-handed antineutrinos only. In weak interactions P and C are violated maximally. CP can still be conserved.

21 Strangeness π p K 0 Λ S Associated production of strangeness in strong interactions S = 0, ie. s s quark pair strangeness conserved copious rates (strong i.a.) Decays : e.g. K 0 π + π and Λ π p strangeness violated very slow (strange!)

22 Weak Decays Strangeness is violated in charged weak interactions: Λ { d s u u d u } p W - u- d } π -

23 K 0 -K 0 -Mixing K 0 and K 0 can both decay into 2π (CP=+1) or 3π (CP= 1) They can also oscillate into each other (via their common final states) { } K 0 2π K 0 3π u s d K 0 W W K 0 d s u W s d K 0 u u K 0 d s W

P K 0 = K 0 P K 0 = K 0 Ĉ K 0 = K 0 Ĉ K 0 = K 0 ĈP K 0 = + K 0 ĈP K 0 = + K 0 Construct CP-Eigenstates by linear combination of flavour-eigenstates CP-Eigenstate ) Decay Symmetry Lifetime [s] K1 0 = 1 2 ( K 0 + K 0 2π CP=+1 τ 1 = ) K2 0 = 1 2 ( K 0 K 0 3π CP= 1 τ 2 = K 0 1, K 0 2 are the Eigenstates of CP of charged weak interaction. Note the large difference in lifetime.

25 Time-development: Oscillations K 0 1(t) = K 0 1(0) e (im 1+Γ 1 /2)t K 0 2(t) = K 0 2(0) e (im 2+Γ 2 /2)t t = 0: Assume pure K 0 beam (equal amounts of K 0 1(0) and K 0 2(0)). K 0 t=0 = 1 2 ( K 0 1 (0) + K 0 2 (0) ) Development of beam intensities with time (Schrödinger-Eq.) I(K 0 ) = K 0 (t) K 0 (t) 2 = I 0 ( e Γ 1 t + e Γ2t + 2e (Γ 1+Γ 2 )t/2 cos ((m 2 m 1 ) t) ) 4 I(K 0 ) = K 0 (t) K 0 (t) 2 = I 0 ( e Γ 1 t + e Γ2t 2e (Γ 1+Γ 2 )t/2 cos ((m 2 m 1 ) t) ) 4 Mass difference between K 1 and K 2 required for oscillations to occur!

Neutral kaon mixing. K + + p+ K 0 + p+ + π+, conserves antistrangeness. Conversely, the baryon-number-conserving transition, These lectures explore how the weak force gives rise to flavour oscillations and CP violation. Flavour oscillation means a reversable transmutation from one flavour to another. This phenomenon is observed
