CP Violation – A Brief Review 1
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 کاملExploring CP Violation through B Decays
The B-meson system provides many strategies to perform stringent tests of the StandardModel description of CP violation. In this brief review, we discuss implications of the currently available B-factory data on the angles α, β and γ of the unitarity triangle, emphasize the importance of Bs studies at hadronic B experiments, and discuss new, theoretically clean strategies to determine γ. Invite...
متن کامل1 99 3 Standard Model Expectations for CP Violation ∗
I review the predictions and expectations of the CKM model for CP violation in both the K 0 − ¯ K 0 and B 0 − ¯ B 0 systems. A brief discussion of CP violation in charged K-and B-decays is also included, as well as some remarks on the electric dipole moments of the neutron and the electron.
متن کاملCurrent Issues in CP Violation
A brief review of CP violation in K and B decays is given. While the observables ε and Re(ε/ε) describing CP violation in neutral K decays do not allow a powerful test of the CKM mechanism of CP violation, rare K → πνν decays and in particular the B-meson system are much more promising in this respect. After a brief look at the K system, selected aspects of CP-violating effects in B decays are ...
