  1. Italian Physical Society International School of Physics “Enrico Fermi” Lecture 2

  2. Lecture 2 • Edm • Krammer’s degeneracy • Particle physics • How do you measure pion spin? • How do you show that pion is a pseudoscalar? • G-parity • C,P,T in particle physics

  3. To test T invarience look for edm For an elementary particle For an elementary particle, only vector you have is spin! Different transformation property under T

  4. + + + - ーー Edm of an electron is T violating. This is easy to understand. Edm of an electron can be measured in a system with Large number of electrons, like an atom. Why? Don’t many electron system have edm without T violation?

  5. Definition Electric dipole moment Energy shift in an electric field

  6. + ーー What about water molecule? If oxygen atom had an edm, can it be seen? Does water molecule have an edm? If so, it will be a background. How do we know that it does not produce an energy shift which is linear in E-leading to water molecule edm?

  7. Parity even state

  8. Parity odd state Which is more energetic?

  9. Lets turn on an electric field Consider a pair of opposite parity states Water molecule does not have an edm! Ground state is non-degenerate!

  10. + + + - - - What about the dumbell? These states are degenate If a non-degenerate system possesses an edm, it implies T violation

  11. If you find an edm of a non-degenerate system, then it implies T violation.

  12. ed ed ed ed Shiff’s theorem • Atoms consist of non-relativistic particles, which interact only electro-statically. • The edm distribution of each atomic constituent is identical to its charge distribution. Then even if the constituents possessed edm, they are totally shielded. Relativistic effects of large Z atoms and various atomic effects enhance atomic edm

  13. Krammer’s Degeneracy Allows for half integer spin |a> and T|a> are degenerate

  14. U is real Half integer Spin!

  15. Particle physics

  16. Detect a free particle Experimentalists shoot a free particle

  17. Scattering Scattered wave Incident wave Definition of asymptotic states

  18. Time reversal in particle scattering S-matrix

  19. Meson octet s u d

  20. K 0 K ー 0 K ー K SU(3) symmetry invariant under rotation among Mesons made out of quarks π+ π― η π0

  21. How did our forefathers measured them?

  22. T invariance Detail balance

  23. Hermiticity of H also implies detail balance π meson spin =0

  24. scalar Pseudo-scalar angular distribution shows that π meson is peudoscalar

  25. Compute the angular distribution for both cases

  26. C, P, T of elementary particles

  27. Photons

  28. Spin 0 particles

  29. Fermions

  30. After the second quantization, Phase degree of freedom Charge conjugation and internal symmetry

  31. It is convenient to define invariance under SU(2) rotation Consider isodoublet

  32. G-parity We want to find an operator for which the triplet of pions is an eignstate
