Establishment of Cp Violation in B Decays

چکیده
■ Abstract Until recently, CP violation had been observed only in kaon decays. In order to conclusively interpret CP violation and test whether it can be explained in the framework of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix, two asymmetric B factories, KEK-B and PEP-II, were constructed in the past decade. Recent measurements with the two detectors at these B factories clearly established large CP violation in neutral B mesons. We review the results and outline the prospects for future measurements.

New Physics in Cp-violating Observables for Beauty
After the present establishment of CP-Violation in Bd-physics, consistency tests of unitarity in the Standard Model and the search of new phenomena are compulsory. I illustrate the way to look for T-violation, without contamination of absorptive parts, in correlated decays in B-factories. Bs-mixing and penguin-mediated Bs-decays are of prime importance in hadronic machines to look for new physics.
متن کاملSuper B Factories
After the establishment of the Kobayashi-Maskawa mechanism of CP violation at the two B factories, possibilities to increase the integrated luminosity by two orders of magnitude have been investigated, since it seems to be the amount needed to find physics beyond the Standard Model through CP violating and other observables in rare B meson decays, D meson decays and τ lepton decays. This report...
متن کاملCP Violation and the Cathedral Builders ’ Paradigm 1
Pointing out the profound and unique nature of CP violation, I sketch its basic phenomenology, its CKM prescription and QCD technologies relevant for heavy flavour physics. After emphasizing the paradigmatic character of the establishment of direct CP violation I turn to the future, namely indirect searches for New Physics in electric dipole moments, Kμ3 decays and charm transitions on one hand...
متن کاملThe discovery of CP violation in B-meson decays
We present the KEK B-factory project, which discovered CP violation in B-meson decays and proved that the Kobayashi-Maskawa theory correctly explains CP violation in meson decays.
متن کاملCp Violation in B Decays
The role of B decays in the study of CP violation is reviewed. We treat the interactions and spectroscopy of the b quark and then introduce CP violation in B meson decays, including time-dependences, decays to CP eigenstates and non-eigenstates, and flavor tagging. Additional topics include studies of strange B’s, decays to pairs of light pseudoscalar mesons, and the roles of gluonic and electr...
