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
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
+ + + - 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?
Definition Electric dipole moment Energy shift in an electric field
+ + 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?
Parity odd state Which is more energetic?
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!
+ + + - - - What about the dumbell? These states are degenate If a non-degenerate system possesses an edm, it implies T violation
If you find an edm of a non-degenerate system, then it implies T violation.
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
Krammer’s Degeneracy Allows for half integer spin |a> and T|a> are degenerate
U is real Half integer Spin!

T invariance Detail balance
Hermiticity of H also implies detail balance π meson spin =0
scalar Pseudo-scalar angular distribution shows that π meson is peudoscalar
After the second quantization, Phase degree of freedom Charge conjugation and internal symmetry
It is convenient to define invariance under SU(2) rotation Consider isodoublet
