P violation in macro world Coriolis effect Pond-skater feels P-violation v F (force which always acts to the right) Coriolis forces (if considered locally) violate P-symmetry: • Pond-skater (living in the pond in northern hemisphere) concludes that there is a P-violation in its world: independent on the direction of moving the path is twisted to the right • Coriolis flow meter is rotating in the same direction with opposite direction of water flow water However, if we look at the Earth from the space, the P-symmetry is restored • cyclones are clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the south
P violation in macro world spinning top All toys produced by industry have the spin direction clockwise. I guess that this is due to the technical standards maintained by Council for Standardization, Metrology and Certification. This is an example of law that violates parity (but it is technical, rather than physical ) F a If we put this toy inside the black box (the box should have “top”-”bottom” marks) , tightly lock it and make experiments with the box, we conclude that this object does not obey P-invariance. Consider now, that there are many such boxes and they are so tiny that we could not open them and look inside…
Problems We can check that there is no P-violation in classical mechanics and electromagnetism, e.g. because Lorentz force should be true vector, we can check that the same relations are derived from Column and Faraday’s laws. • Do you know any observable, which is a pseudoscalar? • Why in the two previous examples the ignorance about rotation of macro or micro object leads to a wrong conclusion of P-violation? • Why do some classical rules rely on “right hand grip rule”?
P violation in living world Do not eat! • Biological objects (and their products) are not invariant under mirror reflection! • Sugar solution polarizes light. • Screws are left (to be convenient for screwing with right hand). • Snail’s shells are curled clockwise • P-violating book by L.Caroll “Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice found There” Defective The existence of non invariant objects does not contradict to the conservation law, but P-invariance suggests that the probability to construct by means of physical processes both object itself and its mirror image are equal! Why there is no mirror living world??? Rarity Only one molecule was once constructed, that is self reproducible? The probability of its creation is tiny and we are accidentally here? Or its creation changed the environments and mirror-twin just could not be produced? Behind mirror
Parity in particle physics • P-invariance is checked in classic physics. In nonrelativistic quantum theory there is no extra terms that can add parity violation. • However, in relativistic quantum field theory particles can appear and disappear: e.g. a+b a+b+c. • Introduce internal parity for particles P() = . • For some particles internal parities can be measured if the particle can be produced individually or in a pair with particle of know parity. • For some particles it is a question of convention (e.g. for ground state fermions): we agreed that for matter particles P = +1 and for antimatter P = –1. • Then we should check that in all processes that can be seen in nature our definition of internal parities are not ambiguios. • The parity conservation in strong and electromagnetic interactions is checked (Tanner): p + 19F 20Ne* 16O + ? • JP(20Ne*)=1+; JP(16O)=0+; JP()=0+ JP(16O ) = 0+, 1–, 2+ evidence for this chain means parity violation! It was not observed • Now parity is measured to be conserved in strong and EM interactions at a very high level of accuracy (up to the level of influence of weak interactions).
P-violation in weak decays • - paradox: +→+0and +++– • With the same mass (within ~ 0.3% accuracy) • With the same lifetime(within ~ 5% accuracy) • +→+0: JP= 0+, 1–, 2+ … • +→++–more complicated:P=(1)ℓ+(–1) (–1)ℓ–= (-1) (ℓ+ + ℓ– +1); • ℓ+= angular momentumin ++system; • ℓ– = angular momentum between (++) and –; • ℓ+& ℓ– seems to be = 0 from the experimental study of the Dalitz plot • ??? R. Dalitz 600 events are distributed uniformly T.D. Lee & C.N. Yang (1956) « Existing experiments do indicate parity conservation in strong and electromagnetic interactions to a high degree of accuracy.» « Past experiments on the weak interactions had actually no bearing on the question of parity conservation. » and may be the same particle
Wu experiment Lee and Yang suggested possible experimental tests of parity conservation: • π and μ decay • β-decay of the Cobalt 60 Angular momentum L is axial vector; momentum P is true vector If P-conserved, any processes can not depend on pseudoscalar product (L●P) Parity violation is big effect ~ 1

Two component neutrinos The two-component neutrino theory (Lee & Yang, Salam, Landau 1957): The observed maximum parity violation in leptonic weak processes could be accommodated if neutrinos are massless (and hence helicity and chirality eigenstates). Only lefthanded neutrinos and righthanded antineutrinos are needed. Franz Kafka “The top” ~ ν ν Do particle physicists resemble the Kafka’s philosopher from “The top”?
PV in macroworld due to weak interactions Parity violation (by neutral currents) leads to optical rotation in atoms (Ya. B. Zeldovich, 1959). Yes! Zeldovich had suggested neutral analogue of beta-decay 10 years before the Standard Model predicted existence of Z0. PV observed in heavy atoms (L.V. Barkov, M.S. Zolotarev, 1978) + many experiments later With external B parallel to the light direction Faraday effect β ~ 10–8 Bismuth vapor have optical activity. E1 and M1 (opposite parity) transitions are mixed due to Z-boson exchange between nucleus and electrons. The effect is similar to the polarization of light in sugar solution, but sugar has two modifications “left” and “right” while any atom has only one. In case of sugar the parity violation is induced by predominance of “left” isomer. In case of bismuth – by weak interaction contribution
T-transformation There are three types of lie: ordinary lie, blatant lie and statistics… All (classical) physics laws are T-invariant. But it is difficult to find an example in macroworld with exact T-symmetry … It seems only equations (that pretends to describe the real world), but not the real world itself respect T-symmetry. Physicists usually says: “That’s statistics. The classical laws are good to describe the interactions of two bodies, but when we talk about 1024 bodies, we should use Statistical mechanics”
- “One” is “many”? • - No, “one” is not “many”. - And “ten” is many? - Yes, “ten” is many. The Second Law of Thermodynamics Start with order • - What about “two”? • - No, “two” is not “many”. - And “nine”? - Yes, “nine” is many. In few seconds get disorder I can play another game: start with disorder of 10 molecules; stop experiment when all 10 molecules gather in one half of the box (I need to wait < 15 minutes). If I report about my experiment to theoretician, he derives a Anti-Second Law of Thermodynamics - I have said not all the truth to theoretician? - OK, and “six”? - “Six”? I do not know. You have totally confused me… - Ten molecules is not many enough? Where is phase transition?
T-violation in particle physics Electric dipole moments (EDM) violate parity (P) and time-reversal (T) Excellent way to search for new sources of CP-violation SM EDMs are strongly suppressed • Theories beyond the SM predict EDMs many orders of magnitude larger! Best limit on atomic EDM (Seattle, 2001): CPLEAR measure rate difference for K0(t0) →K0(t1) and K0(t0) →K0(t1) (t1>t0) and one more T-violating effect in K0→ππee Asymmetry = (13.6 ± 2.5±1.2)%
Antimatter electron spin electron magnetic dipole moment μe discovered “theoretically” (1928) Dirac’s equation: a relativistic wave equation for the electron Two surprising results: • Motion of an electron in an electromagnetic field: presence of a term describing (for slow electrons) the potential energy of a magnetic dipole moment in a magnetic field existence of an intrinsic electron magnetic dipole moment opposite to spin P.A.M. Dirac • The equations have two possible solutions, both are mathematically equally valid (just like √1 = ±1). But only one solution makes sense for ordinary matter (positive energy moving forwards in time)!What is the physical meaning of these “negative energy” solutions?` Generic solutions of Dirac’s equation: complex wave functions (r , t) For each negative-energy solution the complex conjugate wave function * is a positive-energy solution of Dirac’s equation for an opposite charge electron.
Dirac’s assumptions: • nearly all electron negative-energy states are occupied and are not observable. • electron transitions from a positive-energy to an occupied negative-energy state are forbidden by Pauli’s exclusion principle. • electron transitions from a positive-energy state to an empty negative-energy state are allowed: electron disappears, but the empty negative-energy state disappears as well. To conserve electric charge, a positive electron (positron) must disappear e+e– annihilation. • electron transitions from a negative-energy state to an empty positive-energy state are also allowed electron appearance. To conserve electric charge, a positron must appear creation of an e+e– pair. empty electron negative-energy states describe positive energy states of the positron Antimatter remained amathematical curiosity for few years.In 1932, Anderson discoveredanti-electrons (“positrons”)produced in a cloud chamber bycosmic rays.
Charge conjuagtion The mathematical transformation that turns a particle into its antiparticle is called “charge conjugation” (C). Every fundamental particle has its own antiparticle although some particles are ≡ their own antiparticles,e.g. the photon. • Most intrinsic properties of a particle and its antiparticle are the same (mass, spin, …). The exceptions are properties that depend on the direction of time such as charge. Therefore, a particle that is its own antiparticle must be neutral (but not vice-versa: ν)
C-violation in macro world? e– e+ e+ LED diode distinguish polarities + hole p-type Consider LED diode as a black box (we are so ignorant that do not know that it is produced of matter) producing photons (charge conjugation eigen state). γ n-type The beam of electrons through the coil results in light flash The beam of positrons does not electrons However if apply both C and P transformations the tableau works again.
C-violation in weak decay • B.L. Ioffe and A.P. Rudik (1956): the way of P-violation suggested by Lee-Yang leads to C-violation: • Pseudoscalar product (L●P) is invariant under T, therefore by CPT-theorem while T is conserved, C-parity have to be violated together with P. • Based on C-invariance in weak interactions Gell Mann and Pais (1952) predicted the existence of KL (which had been observed recently). • Does this mean that Lee and Yang suggested obviously wrong idea (Wu’s experiment was not yes finished that time)? • L.B. Okun suggested that existence of KL is explained by T- rather than C- symmetry.
CP-tranformation • Introduced by L.D. Landau as a mean to restore broken C and P symmetries. • The idea of exact CP-symmetry supports the idea of two-component massless neutrinos not found in nature exists in nature exists in nature

Quark mixing • Fourth c-quark is predicted to explain K0→ ℓ+ ℓ– cancellation (GIM mechanism, 1970). In order GIM mechanism works c-quark should couple to s’, orthogonal to d’. Can we make Cabbibo matrix complex? • Before answer this question let’s understand where the Cabbibo matrix originates from. αβ –β*α* 2 2 Why are they not diagonal?

CPV with two quark generations If apply transformations: “α” can become real, while all other terms in Lagrangian remain unchanged. Then remove phase in “γ” (which changed after d-rotation) . Finally, we can make “δ” to be real by . Do not touch “u” trying to correct “β”, otherwise you introduce another phase to “α”! Just check that “β” automatically becomes real.

Summary Lecture I CP violation was discovered in 1964 in K meson decays. The K system remained the only place CP violation had been observed until 2001 when the first observation of CP violation in the B system was reported by the B factory experiments (BaBar and Belle). The B system provides a laboratory where theoretical predictions can be precisely compared with experimental results.
The neutral current remains the same since the CKM matrix VCKM is unitary
