Time Reversal Violation
نویسنده
چکیده
This talk briefly reviews three types of time-asymmetry in physics, which I classify as universal, macroscopic and microscopic. Most of the talk is focussed on the latter, namely the violation of T-reversal invariance in particle physics theories.

Cp Violation
Three possibilities for the origin of CP violation are discussed: (1) the Standard Model in which all CP violation is due to one parameter in the CKM matrix, (2) the superweak model in which all CP violation is due to new physics and (3) the Standard Model plus new physics. A major goal of B physics is to distinguish these possibilities. CP violation implies time reversal violation (TRV) but di...
متن کاملCan We Investigate Direct Time Reversal Violation?
We illustrate a theoretical condition under which a two-body decay of a resonance violates time reversal invariance. Moreover, we examine some cases for which this condition looks particularly simple. As a consequence, we deduce tests of time reversal violation for weak decays involving spinning particles.

متن کاملTests for Time Reversal Violation
We illustrate two new theoretical conditions under which a two-body decay of a resonance violates time reversal invariance. As a consequence, we deduce two different kinds of tests of time reversal violation for such decays. The tests proposed may help detecting possible signals of physics beyond the Standard Model. In particular, they are sensitive to contributions of spontaneous CP violation....
متن کاملTime-reversal violation as loop-antiloop symmetry breaking: the Bessel equation, group contraction and dissipation
We show that the Bessel equation can be cast, by means of suitable transformations, into a system of two damped/amplified parametric oscillator equations. The relation with the group contraction mechanism is analyzed and the breakdown of loop-antiloop symmetry due to group contraction manifests itself as violation of time-reversal symmetry. A preliminary discussion of the relation between some ...
متن کاملTesting Time Reversal Invariance with Cold Neutrons
CP violation is implemented in the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics via a non-trivial phase in the Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskava matrix 1. Dedicated experiments and facilities have been built to check the predictions of the SM for CP violation, e.g. in the Kaon or the B meson sectors. Up to now, no significant deviations have been found. However, the CP violation implemented in the SM is ins...
