Cp Violation and Quark Mixing Cp Violation and Quark Mixing

چکیده
Measurements of CP asymmetries in B decays will soon be made at B factories and hadron machines. In light of this, we review and update the profile of the CKM unitarity triangle and the resulting CP asymmetries in B decays. This is done both in the standard model and in several variants of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), which are characterized by a single phase in the quark flavour mixing matrix. After imposing present constraints on the parameters of these models, the predicted ranges of sin 2β in the standard model and in the MSSM are found to be similar. However, these theories may be distinguished by future precise measurements of the other two CP-violating phases α and γ.

Determining the quark mixing matrix from CP-violating asymmetries.
If the Standard Model explanation of CP violation is correct, then measurements of CP-violating asymmetries in B meson decays can in principle determine the entire quark mixing matrix. According to the Standard Model (SM), CP violation arises from the fact that in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) quark mixing matrix, some of the elements are not real. This picture of CP violation will be inc...
متن کاملCP violation in neutrino mixing matrix and leptogenesis
The CP violation required in leptogenesis may have different origin, but in an effective theory they all are related to the rephasing invariant CP violating measure in the mixing matrix of the leptonic sector. We point out that the maximum amount of CP violation in some models can be estimated with our present knowledge of the neutrino mixing angles, which can help us understand the CP violatio...
متن کاملQuark Mixing and CP Violation
We review the historical developments leading to the CabibboKobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) quark mixing matrix. Present status of the CKM matrix from direct measurements is summarized, giving also the present profile of the unitarity triangle. CP Violation in the K0 K0 complex and in B-meson decays are discussed in the context of
متن کاملQuark Mixing and Cp Violation
The present status of quark mixing and CP violation in the s tandard six quark model is reviewed in view of the recent experimental ( b ---* u transit ion, B 0 / ~ 0 mixing, el/e) and theoretical (progress in the calculation of the hadronic matr ix elements) developments. Implications of the da ta on B 0 / ~ 0 mixing, ~ and el/e for the value of the top quark mass (mr) are discussed in detail. ...
متن کاملFlavor Mixing, CP–Violation and the Masses of the Light Quarks
The observed hierarchy of the quark masses is interpreted as a signal for an underlying “subnuclear democracy” as the relevant symmetry of the quark mass terms. A simple breaking of the symmetry leads to a mixing between the second and the third family, in agreement with observation. Introducing the mixing between the first and the second family, one finds an interesting pattern of maximal CP–v...
