Summary
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?
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)

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

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
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

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.
