0 CP Violation – A Brief Review 1 Jonathan L . Rosner
نویسنده
چکیده
Some past, present, and future aspects of CP violation are reviewed. The discrete symmetries C, P, and T are introduced with an example drawn from Maxwell’s Equations. The history of the discovery of CP violation in the kaon system is described briefly, and brought up-to-date with a review of recent results on kaon decays. The candidate theory of CP violation, based on phases in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix, will be tested by studies of B mesons, both in decays to CP eigenstates and in “direct” decays; we will soon learn a great deal more about whether the CKM picture is self-consistent. Future measurements are noted and some brief remarks are made about the “other” manifestation of CP violation, the baryon asymmetry of the Universe.

متن کاملTime-dependent CP-violation effects in B^{0}-B ^{0} systems
Large time-dependent partial-rate asymmetries associated with CP violation are predicted for the decays of 8, (: —bs) and Bq (— =bd) to certain two-body final states (such as D+m ). Tagging on an accompanying charged b-fIavored particle (B„=bu) or identified baryon (Ah=bud) permits the identification of the initial flavor (8 or 2t) of the decaying particle. The asymmetries are contrasted with t...
متن کاملCp Violation in B Decays
The role of B decays in the study of CP violation is reviewed. We treat the interactions and spectroscopy of the b quark and then introduce CP violation in B meson decays, including time-dependences, decays to CP eigenstates and non-eigenstates, and flavor tagging. Additional topics include studies of strange B’s, decays to pairs of light pseudoscalar mesons, and the roles of gluonic and electr...
متن کاملParticles in Loops – from Electrons to Top Quarks 1
This article, in memory of Professor Hiroshi Suura, is devoted to the effects of particles in loops, ranging from quantum electrodynamics to precise tests of the electroweak theory and CP violation.
متن کاملCP Violation : Past , Present
CP symmetry and its violation are important guides to fundamental quark properties and to the understanding of the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the Universe. In this review, an updated version of one presented earlier in the year [1], we describe past, present, and future aspects of CP violation studies. After an illustration of fundamental iscrete symmetries in Maxwell's equations (Sec. II),...
