CP Violation In and Beyond the Standard Model
نویسنده
چکیده
The special features of CP violation in the Standard Model are presented. The significance of measuring CP violation in B, K and D decays is explained. The predictions of the Standard Model for CP asymmetries in B decays are analyzed in detail. Then, four frameworks of new physics are reviewed: (i) Supersymmetry provides an excellent demonstration of the power of CP violation as a probe of new physics. (ii) Left-right symmetric models are discussed as an example of an extension of the gauge sector. CP violation suggests that the scale of LRS breaking is low. (iii) The variety of extensions of the scalar sector are presented and their unique CP violating signatures are emphasized. (iv) Vector-like down quarks are presented as an example of an extension of the fermion sector. Their implications for CP asymmetries in B decays are highly interesting.

CP Violation Beyond the Standard Model
Recent developments concerning CP violation beyond the Standard Model are reviewed. The central target of this presentation is the B system, as it plays an outstanding role in the extraction of CKM phases. Besides a general discussion of the appearance of new physics in the corresponding CP-violating asymmetries through B q–B 0 q mixing (q ∈ {d, s}), it is emphasized that CP violation in non-le...
متن کاملTheory of CP Violation
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 neu...

We study contributions of supersymmetric CP phases to the CP violation ε/ε in models with asymmetric A-matrices. We consider asymmetric Amatrices, which are obtained from string-inspired supergravity. We show that a certain type of asymmetry of A-matrices enhances supersymmetric contributions to the CP violation ε/ε and the supersymmetric contribution to ε/ε can be of order of the KTeV result, ...
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...
متن کاملCP Violation in B - Decays : The Standard Model and Beyond
We review the subject of CP violation in B decays in the Standard Model (SM) and beyond the SM. We describe some of the present most promising ways of testing the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) origin of CP violation through a determination of the three angles of the CKM matrix unitarity triangle. Other sources of CP nonconservation violate SM constraints on the unitarity triangle. We show tha...
متن کاملBeauty in the Standard Model and Beyond
The study of CP violation in the B system allows us to perform quantitative tests of the CP symmetry in the Standard Model. Many precise measurements of the sides and angles of the Unitarity Triangle used to test the theory are made possible by the abundant experimental data accumulated at the B factories and the Tevatron. I review the Standard Model description of CP violation and the key meas...
