Tests for Time Reversal Violation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We illustrate two new theoretical conditions under which a two-body decay of a resonance violates time reversal invariance. As a consequence, we deduce two different kinds of tests of time reversal violation for such decays. The tests proposed may help detecting possible signals of physics beyond the Standard Model. In particular, they are sensitive to contributions of spontaneous CP violation. Moreover one of the two conditions found receives favourable indications from known decays and, for some strong decays, it implies selection rules to be tested experimentally.

Can We Investigate Direct Time Reversal Violation?
We illustrate a theoretical condition under which a two-body decay of a resonance violates time reversal invariance. Moreover, we examine some cases for which this condition looks particularly simple. As a consequence, we deduce tests of time reversal violation for weak decays involving spinning particles.

متن کاملTests of fundamental symmetries with β decay
Since the fall of parity in electroweak interactions the discrete transformations of parity, charge conjugation and time reversal are under close scrutiny for any sign of deviation from maximality where symmetry breaking seems to be complete (like P violation in β decay) and for any sign of symmetry breaking when this has not yet been observed (like T violation in
متن کاملSearching for T-Violating, P-Conserving New Physics with Neutrons
The observance of parity conserving time reversal violation in light quark systems could signal the presence of physics beyond the Standard Model. I discuss the implications of low-energy time reversal tests for the existence of such T-violating, P-conserving (TVPC) interactions. I argue that searches for permanent electric dipole moments (EDM’s) and direct TVPC searches provide complementary i...
متن کاملStudy of time reversal violation in b decay of polarized Li
The transverse polarization in a plane perpendicular to the nuclear spin axis has been determined for electrons emitted in the b decay of polarized Li. Such a spin component signals a violation of time reversal symmetry. Using a sample of Li nuclei with vector polarization of ;0.11 and a polarimeter with average analyzing power S520.10, the asymmetry in the Mott scattering of decay electrons wa...
متن کاملTheory and Tests of Cpt and Lorentz Violation
Nature appears to be covariant both under the discrete transformation CPT, formed from the product of charge conjugation C, parity inversion P, and time reversal T, and under the continuous Lorentz transformations including rotations and boosts. The CPT theorem links these symmetries, stating that under mild technical assumptions CPT is an exact symmetry of local Lorentzcovariant field theories...
