Cp violation Definition and 41 Threads

Which physics concepts and phenomena other than "CP violation" have to deal with the breaking (not validity) of "Invariance of Time Reversal", like for the Weak Force (e.g. for beta-decay)? The underlying mathematical and physical theory to this inquiry is based on advanced physics textbooks as...

When we try to see if the weak sector is CP invariant, we CP transform all the fields in the charged interactions terms and we get a condition involving the elements of the CKM matrix and the arbitrary phases of the CP transformed fields: $$V_{ij} = V^*_{ij} \, e^{i(\xi_W + \phi_{d_j} -...

Below are the statements in the "David Griffiths, Introduction to Elementary Particles 2nd Edition, 147~148 p.": Evidently, the long-lived neutral kaon is not a perfect eigenstate of CP after all, but contains a small admixture of K1. The coefficient epsilon is a measure of nature's departure...

Hello everyone, I know that if two of the quarks (e.g. strange & bottom) had coinciding masses, there would be no CP-violation in the standard model. Apparently the reason lies in the parameters of the CKM-matrix, but I don't understand how to show that. Can someone explain?

Hello! I have heard many times that CP violation in the SM is due to the presence of phase in the CKM matrix. Can somebody explain how phase is related to CP violation? Thanks!

New results from the LHCb experiment have identified a difference in the way charm quarks (##c##) behave as compared to anticharm quarks (##\bar{c}##), when a spatial inversion is taken into account. This so-called charge-parity (CP) violation had previously been observed in strange (##s##) and...

What would be reasonable preparation for reading the reference Kaon Physics https://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-ph/0401236.pdf I find I do not seem to be ready for this reading. I am familiar with quantum mechanics at the level of Schiff (an old text for first year graduate students) though perhaps rusty...

Many discussions cite CP transformation as the exchange of particles for anitparticles. But other places it says that charge conjugation alone is sufficient to turn a particle into its antiparticle. So, the question is, when you exchange particles for anitparticles, is it a CP transformation or...

The Wikipedia article on CP violation says there is indirect violation in Kaon decay but does not give details. What is the reaction that demonstrates CP violation?

This paper; https: //arxiv.org/abs/1609.05216, Measurement of matter-antimatter differences in beauty baryon decays, provides the first evidence for CP violation in the baryon sector. This potentially explains a longstanding mystery - why the universe became dominated by matter while anti matter...

Presentation at ICHEP Report at university website The main plot is on slide 18: ##\delta_{CP}## seems to be somewhere around -2, with 0 appearing unlikely. In other words, muon neutrinos oscillate more likely to electron neutrinos than anti-muon neutrinos oscillate to anti-electron neutrinos...

Hi, My question about CP- violation, but it has many parts, so I appreciate any help about.. First: I know that, any complex coupling leads to CP - violation, so if for example A is a complex scalar, and H is a real scalar, interaction as: A HH will be forbidden if we considered CP...

I'm trying to get my story straight on explaining the universe's matter-antimatter imbalance. So far I understand CP violation in neutrino oscillations (PMNS \delta parameter). And I think I'm right in saying that then a 'leptogenesis' process generates an excess of leptons over antileptons...

Please help me with my confusion. My logic: 1. CP violation causes direct T-violation 2. T-violation breaks Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation (imagine a rock in a thermal bath of T-violating particles, where absorption and emission rates are different). When I say "radiation", I don't mean...

Can someone explain or give any ref. where I can find the difference between Indirect and Direct CP violations?

I was recently reading an article that attempted to explain how the results of the Cronin-Fitch experiment illustrated CP violation. (http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/particles/cronin.html) However, it wasn't very well explained. Could someone please explain this to me?

When my friend asked me about CP violation, I told them about some elementary particles physics. But it seemed they do not have background about this. So is there any daily practical activity that can explain CP violation? Thanks.

I have been looking in SUSY and have seen that the CP violation of B mesons into two muons is one of the key facts that has cast further doubt over SUSY. I don t really understand how the CP violation of B mesons is a sign of SUSY issues, so if you are able to clear this up for me that would be...

Am I correct in my understanding that the standard model predicts that there should be more matter than antimatter in the universe, but not the dominant proportion that is observed? Is that the basic problem?

Hi everyone. I have been studying CP violation in kaon systems. I would like to know is someone can explain why, to leading order, strong penguin diagrams (i.e. involving a gluon) only contribute to the K\to (\pi\pi)_{I=0} amplitude, while the isospin 2 amplitude is given by the electro-weak...

In long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments, it is possible to investigate the extent of any CP violation by looking at the difference between the rate of neutrino oscillating vs. anti-neutrinos oscillating, ie. we take \Delta P = P(\nu_\alpha \rightarrow \nu_\beta) -...

I'm trying to understand a bit about CP violation and how it relates to neutrino oscillation. I have a book, "Introduction to High Energy Physics" (Donald Perkins) which says that the probability of observing no change in the flavour of a neutrino is equal to that of an antineutrino of the same...

While we still have no news from Higgs a new discrepancy with the standard model has been spotted by the LHCb experiment: http://profmattstrassler.com/2011/11/16/a-notable-discrepancy-at-the-lhcb-experiment/ I bet next month we'll find Higgs and this discrepancies will go away!

This is an interesting hypothesis that doesn't seem to have been discussed yet. What are its flaws? Mark Hadley at the University of Warwick argues that galactic rotation causes gravitational frame-dragging sufficient to put a local asymmetric twist into spacetime and explain observed CP...

Can anyone explain CP violation in as simplistic a fashion as possible? I just can't understand really in depth versions I am finding online.

Is it correct that applying charge conjugation to matter gives us antimatter? This post claims that it is the CP operation that does... http://blogs.uslhc.us/symmetry-in-physics-pt-2-discrete-symmetries-and-antimatter Which is correct?

Hi, I'm currently producing an undergraduate poster on CP violation and I have a few questions: - Was K0 -> \pi++\pi- the decay which proved CP violation in the 1964 Fitch/Cronin experiment, or was it oscillations between K0 and \overline{K}0, or both? (Answered) - How were the decays in...

What is wrong with the following reasoning? String theory has diffeomorphism invariance. Since time reversal is a diffeomorphism, string theory is time-reversal invariant. Therefore T and CP violation can't occur in string theory, and string theory can't describe the standard model in the...

Please teach me whether it is true or not,that the domination of particles vs antiparticles is caused by the CP violation in nature?

http://arstechnica.com/science/news/2010/05/fermis-tevatron-finds-another-bias-against-antimatter.ars Apparantly a paper was just submitted for review about the finding of another CP violation. Link for reference. They seem to think that this one might not be as infrequent as the others...

Based on the Noether theorem http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noether%27s_theorem there is a relationship between conseration laws and symmetries. Conseration of energy and momentum are related to the isotropy of spacetime. However, spacetime is NOT isotropic: CP symmetry is violated...

Experimentalists have measured CP violation in neutral K and B mesons. Everybody is unhappy that so far there are only 2 systems so for which these measurements are possible. (Neutral D mesons are predicted to show such a small effect that it is probably unmeasurable for a long time.) All...

Hi guys, I am doing a dissertation on one of these topics and wondered if anyone knows of some good books that may be good to start out from. Especially if the books focus on the particle physics aspects of these topics. So any books for CP violation and the imbalance of antimatter to...

Could somebody explain how an imaginary phase in some of the CKM matrix elements represents a CP-violation factor?

Please look at the attach file. If we take case a) it proves the C and P are independly violated (neutrinos are left handed) The component of spin along the direction of motion is: -1 for the photon (bosons can have spin + or - 1) -1/2 for the neutrino (fermions can have spin + or -...

Where can I find good information about the CP violation in the B system?

Hi, I just saw the premier of "Birth of the Universe" on Naked Science (National Geographic) and had a couple of questions as a result, which I'm hoping somebody could answer. First, they said that the reason we have matter and no evidence of anti-matter is because when energy was converted...

First of all, many books assume first that K_S and K_L are CP eigenstates. They then tell that by observation that cannot be true. Is that relevant to the CP violation? Why don't the authors just tell that K_L is a mixed state with only a small amount of CP=+1 eigenstate? Second, observing...
