CP Violation

چکیده
Several pieces of direct and indirect evidence now suggest that the KobayashiMaskawa mechanism plays a distinguished role for CP violation at the electroweak scale. This talk provides a general overview of CP violation in its various contexts, emphasizing CP violation in flavour-violating interactions, such as due to the Kobayashi-Maskawa mechanism. I then review a few recent theoretical developments relevant to the interpretation of CP violation.†

CP Violation and the Dominance of Matter
1 Department of Physics University of Arizona The observable Universe reveals a clear dominance of matter over antimatter. If this asymmetry is consistent with the Universe as a whole, then a contradiction arises between observation and any naïve formulation of Big Bang theory. CP violation, violation of the combined C (charge conjugation) and P (parity) operators, is one of three necessary con...

(Dated: April 8, 2008) We reconsider the origin of CP violation in fundamental theory. Existing string models of spontaneous CP violation make ambiguous predictions, due to the arbitrariness of CP transformation and the apparent non-invariance of the results under duality. We find an unambiguous modular CP invariance condition, applicable to predictive models of spontaneous CP violation, which ...
متن کاملOn distinguishing the direct and spontaneous CP violation in 2HDM
The most general Two Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) allows both for the explicit and the spontaneous CP violation in the scalar sector. Here we discuss CP violation in terms of basisindependent quantities and show how using two different sets of known CP-odd weak-basis invariants one can distinguish between CP conservation, explicit CP violation and spontaneous CP violation. The special case of CP ...
متن کاملRecent Developments in Theory of CP Violation
Four topics in theory of CP violation are reviewed. (a) CP violation in B decays: We describe a new clean way of constraining the angle γ of the unitarity triangle and how new CP violation in decay amplitudes can signal new physics. (b) CP violation inK decays: We explain the special features of the decay KL → π νν̄ both as a measurement of Standard Model CP violating parameters and as a probe o...
متن کاملCP Violation and Heavy Hadrons
I review several topics involving CP violation with heavy hadrons. In particular, I discuss (i) Hyperons: CP violation in the decay Λ → pπ, (ii) Charm: indirect CP violation in the D system, both within and beyond the SM, and (iii) Beauty: indirect CP violation in the neutral B-meson system beyond the SM.
