Effects of periodic matter in kaon regeneration

چکیده
We study the effects of periodic matter in kaon regeneration, motivated by the possibility of parametric resonance in neutrino oscillations. The large imaginary parts of the forward kaon-nucleon scattering amplitudes and the decay width difference ∆Γ prevent a sizable enhancement of the KL → KS transition probability. However, some interesting effects can be produced using regenerators made of alternating layers of two different materials. Despite the fact that the regenerator has a fixed length one can obtain different values for the probability distribution of the KL decay into a final state. Using a two-arm regenerator set up it is possible to measure the imaginary parts of the K0(K̄0)-nucleon scattering amplitudes in the correlated decays of the φ-resonance. Combining the data of the single-arm regenerator experiments with direct and reverse orders of the matter layers in the regenerator one can independently measure the CP violating parameter δ.

The D − D0 system is of great current interest. Until recently, the best probes on the mixing resulted only in upper bounds on xD+y 2 D of order 10 −2 [1]. This changed with the recent results from CLEO [2] and FOCUS [3]. The current situation is beautifully summarized in reference [4]: there is evidence for yD ∼ 10−2 and for a large strong phase, corresponding to large SU(3) breaking effects. ...
متن کاملUsing kaon regeneration to probe the quark mixing parameter cos 2β in B → ψK decays
We suggest a novel method to determine the sign of cos 2β in the decays B → ψK, by creating interference betweenKL andKS final states via “regeneration,” that is propagation through a matter target region to convert some KL to KS . The determination of this quantity resolves an ambiguity between β and 90◦ − β that remains after the standard measurements of sin 2β and may turn out to be importan...
متن کاملDetermining the phase of a strong scattering amplitude from its momentum dependence to better than 1 degrees : The example of kaon regeneration.
We quantitatively study dispersion relations giving the phase of a strong scattering amplitude from its momentum dependence. We consider C-odd contributions to neutral kaon scattering (regeneration) where accurate measurements of both amplitudes and phases are available. We find, somewhat surprisingly, that, even including many possibly corrupting effects, the uncertainty is well below 1 . This...

Using the [SU(3)L × SU(3)R]global × [SU(3)V ]local chiral Lagrangian with hidden local symmetry, we evaluate the cross sections for the absorption of eta meson by pion, rho meson, kaon, and vector kaon, and find that except near threshold their values are about a few mb. Including these reactions in a kinetic model based on a schematic hydrodynamic description of relativistic heavy ion collisio...

Recent proposals to test Bell's inequalities with entangled pairs of pseudoscalar mesons are reviewed. This includes pairs of neutral kaons or B–mesons and offers some hope to close both the locality and the detection loopholes. Specific difficulties, however, appear thus invalidating most of those proposals. The best option requires the use of kaon regeneration effects and could lead to a succ...
