Limit on CPT Violating Quark-Antiquark Mass Difference from the Neutral Kaon System
نویسندگان
چکیده
We quantify the limits on quark-antiquark mass differences imposed by the neutral kaon mass system. In particular, we find that an upper limit to the mass difference of 10 eV exists if mass differences across quark flavors are uncorrelated. We also find that such a small mass difference would be difficult to detect in upcoming antihydrogen experiments, both due to its small effect on the atomic spectrum of antihydrogen, and because of the dominant role that any electron-positron mass difference would play.

Cpt Results from Ktev
The powerful probe of CPT symmetry originates from this coherent superposition. There is also a fortunate conspiracy of the kaon masses, lifetimes, and decay widths, allowing one to look experimentally for very small CPT violating effects that may be present. While many probes in the neutral kaon sector are available, I will mention only ones relevant to KTeV. Table 1 shows the experimental obs...
متن کاملSymmetry Be Tested With K 0 vs K̄ 0 → π + π − π 0 Decays ?
We show that the CP-violating effect in K vs K̄ → πππ decays differs from that in KL → π π, KL → π π or the semileptonic KL transitions, if there exists CPT violation in K-K̄ mixing. A delicate measurement of this difference in the KTeV experiment and at the φ factory will provide a new test of CPT symmetry in the neutral kaon system. PACS number(s): 11.30. Er, 13.25. Es, 14.40.

I review the status of CP violating phenomena and CPT tests in the neutral Kaon system. Comparisons of present data with the expectations of the Cabibbo Kobayashi Maskawa model are presented, with particular emphasis being focused on the role of the theoretical uncertainties in this comparison. In addition, novel tests of CPT at DAFNE and Fermilab are briefly discussed.
متن کاملIndirect Violation of CP , T and CPT in the B d - system 1
The problem of indirect violation of discrete symmeties CP, T and CPT in a neutral meson system can be described using two complex parameters ε and δ, which are invariant under rephasing of meson and quark fields. For the B d system, where the width difference between the physical states is negligible, only Re(δ) and Im(ε) survive. As a consequence, the traditional observables constructed for k...
متن کاملKaon physics at KLOE and KLOE-2 prospects
The KLOE experiment has measured most of the decay branching fractions (BR) of KS, KL and K mesons, providing precision results on the CKM parameter Vus, and the most sensitive unitarity test of the quark flavor mixing matrix. We are presently finalizing i) the analysis of the BR(K π π π ) that completes the measurements of the kaon dominant BR’s, and ii) the update of the upper limit on the BR...
