  4. If f is a CP eigenstate, fCP, we have CP violation if λf≠ ±1: • |q/p| ≠ 1 (CP violation in mixing, negligible in SM) • |Af /Af| ≠ 1 (direct CP violation, small in b→ccs) • Im(λf) ≠ 0 (interference between mixing and decay) Time evolution of the B0 meson The time-dependent rate for B0 (G+) or B0 (G−) decays to a final state f (neglecting the lifetime difference between the mass eigenstates BH and BL): where , , , H.
