Cp Violation -a New Era
نویسنده
چکیده
We give a pedagogical review of the theory of CP violation with emphasis on the implications of recent experimental results. The review includes: (i) A detailed description of how CP violation arises in the Standard Model and in its extension that allows for neutrino masses; (ii) The formalism of CP violation in meson decays and its application to various K decays (ε K , ε ′ /ε and K → πνν), D decays (D → Kπ and D → KK) and B decays (B → ℓνX, B → ψK S and B → ππ, including a discussion of the 'penguin pollution' problem); (iii) Supersymmetry: the CP problems and the use of CP violation as a probe of the mechanism of dynamical supersymmetry breaking.

Lessons from Recent Measurements of CP Violation
We discuss various implications of recent experimental results concerning CP violation and mixing in K → ππ, B → ψKS , D → Kπ and D → KK decays. 1. Progress in Experiments The study of CP violation is entering a new era. For a long period only a single CP violating observable has been measured [1]: |εK | = 2.27× 10. (1.1) In the near future, however, we will learn the values of CP asymmetries i...
متن کاملFixed-target Cp-violation Experiments at Fermilab * †
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.
متن کاملRecent 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...
متن کاملBaryogenesis and Standard Model Cp Violation
The standard model possesses a natural source of CP violation contained in the phase of the CKM matrix. Whether the latter participated to the making of the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the observable universe is a fundamental question which has been addressed only recently. The generation of a CP observable occurs through interference of quantum paths along which a sequence of flavor mixings...

Supersymmetry exhibts new sources of CP violation. We discuss the implications of these new contributions to CP violation both in the K and B physics. We show that CP violation puts severe constraints on low energy SUSY, but it represents also a promising ground to look for signals of new physics. CP violation has major potentialities to exhibit manifestations of new physics beyond the standard...
