Charm-system Tests of Cpt with Focus
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss a search for CPT violation in neutral charm meson oscillations. The data come from the Fermilab fixed-target experiment FOCUS. While flavor mixing in the charm sector is predicted to be small by the standard model, it is still possible to investigate CPT violation through study of the proper time dependence of the asymmetry in right-sign decay rates for D0 and D̄0. Using present limits for D0−D̄0 mixing we infer bounds on charm CPT violation using data from FOCUS.

We have performed a search for CPT violation in neutral charm meson oscillations. While flavor mixing in the charm sector is predicted to be small by the Standard Model, it is still possible to investigate CPT violation through a study of the proper time dependence of a CPT asymmetry in right-sign decay rates forD0 → K−π+ and D0 → K+π−. This asymmetry is related to the CPT violating complex par...
متن کاملCp Violation in Charm
Recent results on searches for CP and CPT violation in the charm sector are presented. These results include limits on direct CP violation in several channels from the FOCUS and CLEO experiments. The first reported search for CPT violation in charm, a preliminary result by the FOCUS collaboration, is also presented. 1 Charm CP Violation Introduction CP violation is generally divided into three ...
متن کاملA Cicerone for the Physics of Charm
— After briefly recapitulating the history of the charm quantum number we sketch the experimental environments and instruments employed to study the behaviour of charm hadrons and then describe the theoretical tools for treating charm dynamics. We discuss a wide range of inclusive production processes before analyzing the spectroscopy of hadrons with hidden and open charm and the weak lifetimes...

Using data from the FOCUS (E831) experiment, we have searched for T violation in charm meson decays using the four-body decay channels D0 → K−K+π−π+, D+ → K0 S K+π−π+, and D+ s → K 0 S K+π−π+. The T violation asymmetry is obtained using triple-product correlations and assuming the validity of the CPT theorem. We find the asymmetry values to be ATviol(D 0) = 0.010 ± 0.057(stat.) ± 0.037(syst.), ...
متن کاملCP , T and CPT Symmetries at the Turn of a New Millenium
After summarizing the status concerning CP violation in 1998 I describe the exciting developments of the last two years and extrapolate to the future. I comment on recent lessons about T and CPT invariance maninly from CPLEAR and emphasize the potential of finding New Physics by analyzing Kμ3 and charm decays and searching for electric dipole moments.
