  2. CPT: introduction The three discrete symmetries of QM, C (charge conjugation), P (parity), and T (time reversal) are known to be violated in nature both singly and in pairs. Only CPT appears to be an exact symmetry of nature. • CPT theorem (Luders, Jost, Pauli, Bell 1955 -1957): • Exact CPT invariance holds for any quantum field theory which assumes: • Lorentz invariance (2) Locality (3) Unitarity (i.e. conservation of probability). Testing the validity of the CPT symmetry probes the most fundamental assumptions of our present understanding of particles and their interactions. Extension of CPT theorem to a theory of quantum gravity far from obvious (e.g. CPT violation appears in some models with space-time foam backgrounds). No predictive theory incorporating CPT violation => only phenomenological models to be constrained by experiments.

  3. CPT: introduction Consequences of CPT symmetry: equality of masses, lifetimes, |q| and |m| of a particle and its anti-particle. The neutral kaon system is one of the most intriguing systems in nature; it offers unique possibilities to test CPT invariance; e.g. taking as figure of merit the fractional difference between the masses of a particle and its anti-particle: neutral K system neutral B system proton- anti-proton

  4. “Standard” tests of CPT symmetry in the neutral kaon system

  5. The neutral kaon system The time evolution of a two-component state vector Y in the space is given by (Wigner-Weisskopf approximation): H is the effective hamiltonian (non-hermitian), decomposed into a Hermitian Part (mass matrix M) and an anti-Hermitian part (i/2 decay matrix G) : Diagonalizing the effective Hamiltonian: eigenvalues eigenstates |K1,2> are CP=±1 states tS~ 90 ps tL~ 51 ns mL-mS= 3.5 x 10-15 GeV ~ GS / 2 small CP impurity ~2 x 10-3

  6. CPT violation in the neutral kaon system: “standard” picture CPT violation in the mixing: • d ≠ 0 implies CPT violation • e ≠ 0 implies T violation • e ≠ 0 or d ≠ 0 implies CP violation (with a phase convention )

  18. 2) Tests of QM and CPT symmetry in the neutral kaon system

  19. Neutral kaon interferometry f1 t1 t2 KS,L f KL,S Dt=t1- t2 f2 Double differential time distribution: where t1(t2) is the proper time of one (the other) kaon decay into f1 (f2) final state and: characteristic interference term at a f-factory => interferometry fi = p+p-, p0p0, pln, p+p-p0, 3p0, p+p-g ..etc

  20. Neutral kaon interferometry Integrating in (t1+t2) we get the time difference (Dt=t1-t2) distribution (1-dim plot simpler to manipulate than 2-dim plot): From these distributions for various final states fi one can measure the following quantities: Phases (difference of) from the interference term => interferometry

  21. Neutral kaon interferometry: main observables I(Dt) (a.u) I(Dt) (a.u) I(Dt) (a.u) Dt/tS Dt/tS Dt/tS

  22. Neutral kaon interferometry: main observables parameters mode measured quantity

  23. p p f p t1 t2 p EPR correlation: no simultaneous decays (Dt=0) in the same final state due to the destructive quantum interference p p f p t1 t2=t1 p Same final state for both kaons: f1 = f2 = p+p- Dt=|t1-t2| I(Dt) (a.u) Dt/tS

  24. fKSKLp+p- p+p-: test of quantum coherence Decoherence parameter: (also known as Furry's hypothesis or spontaneous factorization) [W.Furry, PR 49 (1936) 393]

  25. fKSKLp+p- p+p-: test of quantum coherence • Analysed data: L=380 pb-1 • Fit including Dt resolution and efficiency effects + regeneration • GS, GL , Dm fixed from PDG L=1 fb-1 (2005 data) KLOE preliminary: KLOE result: PLB 642(2006) 315 as CP viol. O(|h+-|2) ~ 10-6 => high sensitivity to From CPLEAR data, Bertlmann et al. (PR D60 (1999) 114032) obtain: In the B-meson system, BELLE coll. (PRL 99 (2007) 131802) obtains: Comparison with precision in quantum optics test

  26. Decoherence and CPT violation SPACE-TIME FOAM Possible decoherence due quantum gravity effects: Black hole information loss paradox => Possible decoherence near a black hole. Hawking [1] suggested that at a microscopic level, in a quantum gravity picture, non-trivial space-time fluctuations (generically space-time foam) could give rise to decoherence effects, which would necessarily entail a violation of CPT [2]. J. Ellis et al.[3-6] => model of decoherence for neutral kaons => 3 new CPTV param. a,b,g: At most: 10-35 m [1] Hawking, Comm.Math.Phys.87 (1982) 395; [2] Wald, PR D21 (1980) 2742;[3] Ellis et. al, NP B241 (1984) 381; PRD53 (1996)3846 [4] Huet, Peskin, NP B434 (1995) 3; [5] Benatti, Floreanini, NPB511 (1998) 550 [6] Bernabeu, Ellis, Mavromatos, Nanopoulos, Papavassiliou: Handbook on kaon interferometry [hep-ph/0607322] Modified Liouville – von Neumann equation for the density matrix of the kaon system: extra term inducing decoherence: pure state => mixed state

  27. Decoherence and CPT violation induced by QG Using single kaons CPLEAR PLB 364, 239 (1999) ADm(t) A+-(t) data fit a, b, g 10 Imposing a, g >0 a g > b2 at 90% CL

  28. fKSKLp+p- p+p-: decoherence & CPTV by QG KLOE result KLOE preliminary L=1 fb-1 L=380 pb-1 PLB 642(2006) 315 The fit with I(p+p-,p+p-;Dt,a,b,g) gives: KLOE preliminary L=380 pb-1 In the complete positivity hypothesis a = g , b = 0 => only one independent parameter: g Complete positivity guarantees the positivity of the eigenvalues of density matrices describing states of correlated kaons.

  29. fKSKLp+p- p+p-: CPT violation in correlated K states at most one expects: In some microscopic models of space-time foam arising from non-critical string theory: [Bernabeu, Mavromatos, Sarkar PRD 74 (2006) 045014] The maximum sensitivity to w is expected for f1=f2=p+p- All CPTV effects induced by QG (a,b,g,w) could be simultaneously disentangled. In presence of decoherence and CPT violation induced by quantum gravity (CPT operator “ill-defined”) the definition of the particle-antiparticle states could be modified. This in turn could induce a breakdown of the correlations imposed by Bose statistics (EPR correlations) to the kaon state: [Bernabeu, et al. PRL 92 (2004) 131601, NPB744 (2006) 180].

  30. fKSKLp+p- p+p-: CPT violation in correlated K states Im w x10-2 Fit of I(p+p-,p+p-;Dt,w): • Analysed data: 1 fb-1 (2005 data) • Analysed data: 380 pb-1 0 KLOE result : KLOE preliminary : PLB 642(2006) 315 0 Re w x10-2 (w measured for the first time)

  31. 3) Tests of Lorentz invariance and CPT symmetry in the neutral kaon system

  32. CPT and Lorentz invariance violation (SME) Kostelecky et al. developed a phenomenological effective model providing a framework for CPT and Lorentz violations, based on spontaneous breaking of CPT and Lorentz symmetry, which might happen in quantum gravity (e.g. in some models of string theory) Standard Model Extension (SME) [Kostelecky PRD61 (1999) 016002, PRD 64 (2001) 076001] CPT violation in SME manifests to lowest order only in d => and exhibits a kaon momentum dependence: No CPT viol. in decays d cannot be a constant where Dam are four parameters related to CPT and Lorentz violation Dam = rq1 amq1 – rq2 amq2 , with amqi CPT and Lorentz violating coupling constants for the two valence quarks in the kaon; rqi factors for quark binding or other normalization effects. amq have mass dimension and are associated to SME lagrangian terms of the form Possible hidden momentum dependence in other parameters, e.g. e, Dm, DG, fSW , is suppressed w.r.t. d.

  33. CPT and Lorentz invariance violation (SME) At DAFNE K mesons are produced with angular distribution dN/dW sin2q costant vector KLOE is a kind of telescope, able to explore with a kaon beam almost any direction in space Rotation axis Z e+ e- (in general z axis is non-normal to Earth’s surface) at 6 A.M. at 6 P.M. For a fixed target experiment (fixed momentum direction) d depends on sidereal time t since laboratory frame rotates with Earth. For a f-factory there is an additional dependence on the polar and azimuthal angle q,f of the kaon momentum in the laboratory frame: • : Earth’s sidereal frequency c : angle between the z lab. axis and the Earth’s rotation axis

  34. Measurement of Da0 at KLOE Da0 from KS and KL semileptonic charge asymmetries tagged KS and KL (symmetric polar angle q and sidereal time t integration) with L=400 pb-1 (preliminary): (Da0 evaluated for the first time) with L=2.5 fb-1 :s(Da0)~ 7 10-18 GeV

  36. 4) Future plans

Raimondi) • - increase L by a factor O(5) • requires minor modifications • relatively low cost • Experimental test at DAFNE in progress KLOE-2 Expression of Interest: [ L=50 fb-1 at f peak (and s up to 2.5 GeV) ] • Physics issues: • Neutral kaon interferometry, CPT symmetry & QM tests • Kaon physics, CKM, LFV, rare KS decays • h,h’ physics • Light scalars, gg physics • Hadron cross section at low energy, muon anomaly • (baryon electromagnetic form factors, e+e-pp, nn, ) • Detector upgrade issues: • Inner tracker R&D • gg tagging system • Calorimeter, increase of granularity • FEE maintenance and upgrade • Computing and networking update • etc..
