CP Violation in B
نویسنده
چکیده
The B0 s meson is a bound state of b and s type quarks. A CP violation parameter, βs, of that system is the analogue of the parameter β measured precisely at the B factories in B0 decays. The standard model predicts, robustly and precisely, a value of βs which is very close to zero. The CDF and D0 experiments now have about 2000 fully reconstructed and flavor-tagged B0 s → J/ψφ decays each, with which they set new experimental bounds on βs. A combination of results from CDF and D0 is consistent with the standard model at only the 2.2 σ level. If the discrepancy is not a statistical fluctuation, it would indicate new sources of CP violation.

A Search for CP(T) Violation in B Decays at OPAL
CP violation in the B-meson system has generated considerable experimental and theoretical interest, as potentially large e ects are expected. Searches for CP(T) violation using the small sample of Z ! b b decays at the LEP collider at CERN provide \proofs of principle" for analysis techniques which will be employed by future B-Factory experiments. Indirect CP violation is possible in the B sys...
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 کاملCP Violation , Top Quarks and the Tevatron Upgrade
In order to observe a signal of possible CP violation in top-quark couplings, we study top-quark production and decay under the conditions of the Tevatron upgrade. Transverse energy asymmetries sensitive to CP violation are defined. Applying the recently proposed optimal method, we calculate the statistical significance for the direct observation of CP violation in the production and subsequent...

We present the KEK B-factory project, which discovered CP violation in B-meson decays and proved that the Kobayashi-Maskawa theory correctly explains CP violation in meson decays.
متن کاملEstablishment of Cp Violation in B Decays
■ Abstract Until recently, CP violation had been observed only in kaon decays. In order to conclusively interpret CP violation and test whether it can be explained in the framework of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix, two asymmetric B factories, KEK-B and PEP-II, were constructed in the past decade. Recent measurements with the two detectors at these B factories clearly established large CP...
متن کاملCp Violation -a New Era
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 ...
