Theory of CP Violation
نویسنده
چکیده
CP violation in K and B decays is reviewed in the Standard Model (SM) and beyond the SM. In K decays, one is seeking first evidence for CP violation in direct K -+ ~rTr decays. This would not give a precise quantitative test for the present explanation of CP violation in terms of a phase in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix. Such tests are provided by a variety of CP asymmetries in neutral and charged B decays. Certain features, characterizing CP violation beyond the standard model, are outlined in the B meson system.

Recent Developments in Theory of CP Violation
Four topics in theory of CP violation are reviewed. (a) CP violation in B decays: We describe a new clean way of constraining the angle γ of the unitarity triangle and how new CP violation in decay amplitudes can signal new physics. (b) CP violation inK decays: We explain the special features of the decay KL → π νν̄ both as a measurement of Standard Model CP violating parameters and as a probe o...

(Dated: April 8, 2008) We reconsider the origin of CP violation in fundamental theory. Existing string models of spontaneous CP violation make ambiguous predictions, due to the arbitrariness of CP transformation and the apparent non-invariance of the results under duality. We find an unambiguous modular CP invariance condition, applicable to predictive models of spontaneous CP violation, which ...
متن کاملCP Violation and the Dominance of Matter
1 Department of Physics University of Arizona The observable Universe reveals a clear dominance of matter over antimatter. If this asymmetry is consistent with the Universe as a whole, then a contradiction arises between observation and any naïve formulation of Big Bang theory. CP violation, violation of the combined C (charge conjugation) and P (parity) operators, is one of three necessary con...

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 کاملThe Search for Cp Violation in Hyperon Decays
Searches for experimental manifestations of CP violation have born much fruit in recent years with the discovery of direct CP violation and the first evidence of CP violation outside of the neutral kaon system. Nevertheless we still know little about CP violation: its origin remains a mystery and there is little hard evidence that it is the sole province of the standard model. Searches for CP v...
