João R. T. de Mello Neto Instituto de Física CP Violation: Recent Measurements and Perspectives for Dedicated Experiments • Outline • Introduction • CP violation in the B sector • BaBar and Belle • Future experiments: BTeV and LHCb • Strategies to measure the CP viol. parameters • Conclusions LAFEX/CBPF March, 2001
Motivations CP violation is one of the fundamental phenomena in particle physics CP is one of the less experimentally constrained parts of SM SM with 3 generations and the CKM ansatz can accomodate CP CP asymmetries in the B system are expected to be large. Observations of CP in the B system can: test the consistency of SM lead to the discovery of new physics Cosmology needs additional sources of CP violation other than what is provided by the SM
Symmetry in Physics • The symmetry, or invariance, of the physical laws describing a system undergoing some operation is one of the most important concepts in physics. • Symmetries are closely linked to the dynamics of the system • Different classes of symmetries: Lagrangian invariant under an operation limits the possible functional form it can take. continuous X discrete, global X local, etc. Examples of Symmetry Operations Translation in Space Translation in Time Rotation in Space Lorentz Transformation Reflection of Space (P) Charge Conjugation (C) Reversal of Time (T) Interchange of Identical Particles Gauge Transformations
+ Three Discrete Symmetries • Parity, P • x -x L L • Charge Conjugation, C • e+e- K-K+g g • Time Reversal, T • t -t • CPT Theorem • One of the most important and generally valid theorems in quantum field theory. • All interactions are invariant under combined C, P and T • Only assumptions are local interactions which are Lorentz invariant, and Pauli spin-statistics theorem • Implies particle and anti-particle have equal masses and lifetimes

B0 fCP B0 CP Violation in B Decays • Direct CP Violation • Can occur in both neutral and charged B decays • Total amplitude for a decay and its CP conjugate have different magnitudes • Difficult to relate measurements to CKM matrix elements due to hadronic uncertainties • Relatively small asymmetries expected in B decays • Indirect CP Violation • Only in neutral B decays • Would give rise to a charge asymmetry in semi-leptonic decays (like d in K decays) • Expected to be small in Standard Model • CP Violation in the interference of mixed and unmixed decays • Typically use a final state that is a CP eigenstate (fCP) • Large time dependent asymmetries expected in Standard Model • Asymmetries can be directly related to CKM parameters in many cases, without hadronic uncertainties
CP Assymmetry in B decays To observe C P violation in the interference between mixed and unmixed decays, one can measure the time dependent asymmetry: For decays to CP eigenstates where one decay diagram dominates, this asymmetry simplifies to: • Requires a time-dependent measurement • Peak asymmetry is at t = 2.3t DMt = 0.7 for B0
