Testing CPT with B Mesons
نویسنده
چکیده
Apparent violations of CPT and Lorentz symmetry might arise in nature as a result of spontaneous symmetry breaking in a theory beyond the standard model. This talk summarizes a few relevant theoretical and experimental issues, with some emphasis on implications for CPT tests with neutral-B mesons.

Bounding CPT violation in the neutral B system.
The feasibility of placing bounds on CPT violation from experiments with neutral-B mesons is examined. We consider situations with uncorrelated mesons and ones with either unboosted or boosted correlated mesons. Analytical expressions valid for small Tand CPT-violating parameters are presented for time-dependent and time-integrated decay rates, and various relevant asymmetries are derived. We u...
متن کاملIUHET 358 COLBY-97-01 March 1997 TESTING CPT WITH ANOMALOUS MAGNETIC MOMENTS
A theoretical framework is introduced that describes possible CPTviolating effects in the context of quantum electrodynamics. Experiments comparing the anomalous magnetic moments of the electron and the positron can place tight limits on CPT violation. The conventional figure of merit adopted in these experiments, involving the difference between the corresponding g factors, is shown to provide...
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.

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 کاملTheoretical and Phenomenological Aspects of CPT Violation
I review briefly various models and ways of Quantum-Gravity induced CPT violation, and discuss in some detail their phenomenology, in particular precision CPT tests in neutral mesons, and hydrogen/antihydrogen spectroscopy. As I shall argue, severe constraints can be placed in CPT violating parameters, with sensitivities that can safely exclude models with effects suppressed by a single power o...
