Berkeley Bevatron: 1955 The Standard Model of Particle Physics • Very few types of particles are needed to build Charlottesville:Proton: uud Neutron: udd • Many more particles were discovered in cosmic rays and with particle accelerators • The positron was the first anti-particle • The anti-proton was discovered in 1955 • Quark-antiquark bound states are called mesons • p+ = ud K0= ds • B0= bd B0= bd K.

Matter, Energy and the Big Bang • Einstein showed us that matter and energy are equivalent • When matter and antimatter meet, they annihilate into energy • Energy can also materialize as particle-antiparticle pair Predict: nMatter/nPhoton~ 0 Exp: nb/ng~ (6.1 +/- 0.3) x 10-10 (WMAP) K.

So how can this happen? In 1967, A. Sakharov showed that the generation of the net baryon number in the universe requires: • Baryon number violation(Proton Decay) • Thermal non-equilibrium • C and CP violation(Asymmetry between particle and anti-particle) Transition to broken electroweak symmetry provides these conditions K.

B tagged B tagged Step by Step Approach to CP Violation 1. Start with a few x 108 B0 B0 pairs (more is better) 2. Reconstruct one B0 in a CP eigenstate decay mode 3. “Tag” the other B0 to make the matter/antimatter distinction 4. Determine the time between the two B0 decays, Dt 5. Plot Dt distribution separately for B and B tagged events 6. Plot time dependent asymmetry ACP(t)=sin(2b)sin(DmdDt) sin 2b sinDmDt Dt (ps) Dt (ps) K. Honscheid, UVA, Apr. 22, 2005
t =0 Dz = Dt gbc bg =0.56 l - (e-, m -) The two mesons oscillate coherently : at any given time, if one is a B0 the other is necessarily a B0 Dt picoseconds later, the B 0 (or perhaps its now a B 0) decays. In this example, the tag-side meson decays first. It decays semi-leptonically and the charge of the lepton gives the flavour of the tag-side meson : l -= B 0l+ = B 0. Kaon tags also used. (4S) Time-dependent analysis requires B0flavor tagging At t=0 we know this meson is B0 B 0 rec We need to know the flavour of the B at a reference t=0. B 0 B 0 tag K. Honscheid, UVA, Apr. 22, 2005
