Signals for CPT and Lorentz Violation in Neutral-Meson Oscillations
نویسنده
چکیده
Experimental signals for indirect CPT violation in the neutral-meson systems are studied in the context of a general CPTand Lorentz-violating standard-model extension. In this explicit theory, some CPT observables depend on the meson momentum and exhibit diurnal variations. The consequences for CPT tests vary significantly with the specific experimental scenario. The wide range of possible effects is illustrated for two types of CPT experiment presently underway, one involving boosted uncorrelated kaons and the other involving unboosted correlated kaon pairs.

Bounds on CPT and Lorentz Violation from Experiments with Kaons
Possible signals for indirect CPT violation arising in experiments with neutral kaons are considered in the context of a general CPTand Lorentz-violating standard-model extension. Certain CPT observables can depend on the meson momentum and exhibit sidereal variations in time. Any leading-order CPT violation would be controlled by four parameters that can be separately constrained in appropriat...

متن کاملCpt and Lorentz Violation in Neutral-meson Oscillations
Local relativistic quantum field theories, including the standard model of particle physics, are known to be invariant under Lorentz and CPT transformations. This symmetry is consistent with the results of numerous sensitive laboratory tests. Although no definitive violation has been discovered to date, there are many reasons to undertake careful theoretical studies of possible mechanisms and d...
متن کاملSensitivity of CPT Tests with Neutral Mesons
Neutral-meson interferometry is a powerful tool for investigating the discrete symmetry CPT. This product of charge conjugation C, parity reflection P, and time reversal T is known to be an invariance of local relativistic quantum field theories of point particles in flat spacetime [1]. Among the various tests of CPT [2], the sharpest published bounds are obtained with the neutralkaon system. A...

Invariance under Lorentz and CPT transformations is a fundamental requirement of local relativistic quantum field theories, including the standard model of particle physics. This invariance also seems to be realized in nature, as no clear signals for violations have been observed despite numerous experimental tests. Nonetheless, several facts offer motivation for theoretical studies of possible...
