2008 Nobel Physics Prize Kobayashi & Maskawaexplained CP violation within the framework of the Standard Model, but required that the Model be extended to three doublets of quarks. These predicted, hypothetical new quarks have recently appeared in physics experiments. As late as 2001, the two particle detectors BaBarat Stanford, USA and Belle at Tsukuba, Japan, both detected CP violations independently of each other. The results were exactly as Kobayashi and Maskawa had predicted almost three decades earlier. Kobayashi Maskawa
Thread of this talk CP violation What is it? three doublets of quarks Why three? B mesons (BaBar & Belle experiments) Why B mesons? Stockholm
CP Violations Differences between matter & antimatter antimatter e- e+ P+ P- Different? hydrogen antihydrogen
Dilemma Laws of physics are very symmetric between matter & antimatter Nature is very asymmetric between matter & antimatter no antimatter here
Big-Bang Cosmology Then: a“no-hair” Universe matter = antimatter Now: people Only mass, electric charge & angular momentum no antipeople
Where are the antipeople? Need to study violations of “CP” symmetry

It‘s difficult to generate matter-antimatter differences in QM antiparticle process amplitude = A’ Particle process amplitude = A A’ A Time-reversal (t-t) CPT theorem: |A|2 = |A’|2 A & can differ at most by a complex phase A ‘
In QM, processes are |Amp|2 A +fCP |A’|2 |A |2 = -fCP Still no matter-antimatter difference (even though there is a CPV phase) A’
Phase measurement needs interference (a second way to get to the same final state) A + X A +fCP |A + X|2 = | +X|2 A’ X -fCP A’ + X Still no matter-antimatter difference (even though there is a CPV phase & an interfering process) A’
X must have a “common” phase same phase for particle & antiparticle A A + X X |A + X|2 = | +X|2 A’ +fCP d Finally an matter-antimatter difference -fCP A’ + X A’
Matter-antimatter differences in QM • Amplitude needs a complex phase • Opposite signfor matter & antimatter • Need an interfering amplitude • Competing process same final state • Interfering amplitude needs a “common” phase • Same sign for matter & antimatter

Quark mixing In the late 1973, there were 3 known quarks (u,d,s): K & M were convinced of the existence of a 4th quark: the hypothesized “charmed” quark (c): c q=+2/3 q=-1/3
