Fixed-target Cp-violation Experiments at Fermilab * †
نویسنده
چکیده
Studies of CP violation, for 30 years focused primarily on the neutral K meson, are on the threshold of a new era as experiments approach Standard-Model sensitivities in decays of beauty, charm, and hyperons. The array of heavy-quark experiments approved and planned at Fermilab may lead to a significant breakthrough in the next five to ten years.

Status of the KTeV Experiment at Fermilab
The primary goal of the KTeV experiment is the search for direct CP violation in the neutral kaon system. It is believed that CP is violated through two different processes. The first process has been observed and has been termed indirect CP violation. It is the result of mixing in the mass matrix through K − K mixing. The second process, called direct CP violation, occurs in the decay amplitud...
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 کاملHigh - Impact Charm Physics at the Turn of the Millennium ∗ Daniel
I review the sensitivities achieved by and projected for fixed-target charm experiments in CP violation, flavor-changing neutral-current and lepton-number-violating decays, and mixing, and I describe the Charm2000 experiment intended to run at Fermilab in the Year ≈2000. If approved, Charm2000 will in many of these areas exceed the sensitivities projected for a Tau/Charm Factory, but the Tau/Ch...
متن کاملMixing and Cp Violation from Focus Experiment
Measurement results on D D̄ mixing and CP violation are presented. FOCUS is the fixed target experiment at Fermilab and results are based on a high statistics photo-produced charm sample collected during 96-97 run. We reconstructed more than 1 million charmed particles and compared the lifetimes of two D meson decays to Kπ and KK. We obtained a mixing parameter, ycp, is (3.42 ± 1.39 ± 0.74)%. We...
متن کاملRecent measurements of CP violation in the neutral kaon system
During the last ten years the measurement of direct CP violation in the K −K0 system has been vigorously carried out by experiments NA48 at CERN and KTeV at Fermilab. The measurement of the parameter Re(ε′/ε) has been achieved with an accuracy of 2 × 10−4. We review some important results obtained by these two experiments among which the clear evidence of direct CP violation. The CPLEAR contrib...
