  1. fCP fCP Time-Dependent Particle-Antiparticle Asymmetries in the Neutral B-Meson SystemMichael D. SokoloffUniversity of Cincinnati The story of CP Violation has changed qualitatively in the past two years. Babar and BELLE have observed time-dependent CP violation in neutral B-mesons, in accord with the Standard Model. The ensemble of these and other results appear to validate the Kobayashi-Maskawa mechanism as the source of CP violation in the electroweak sector. New Physics may yet be manifest in CP violation measurements to come. Michael D. Sokoloff

  2. The Nature of Particle Physics • Particle physicists study the fundamental constituents of matter and their interactions. • Our understanding of these issues is built upon certain fundmental principles • The laws of physics are the same everywhere • The laws of physics are the same at all times • The laws of physics are the same in all inertial reference systems (the special theory of relativity) • The laws of physics should describe how the wave function of a system evolves in time (quantum mechanics) • These principles do not tell us what types of fundamental particles exist, or how they interact, but they restrict the types of theories that are allowed by Nature. • In the past 30 years we have developed a Standard Model of particle phyiscs to describe the electromagnetic, weak nuclear, and strong nuclear interactions of constituents in terms of quantum field theories. Michael D. Sokoloff

  3. Special Relativity • Energy and Momentum • Energy and momentum form a four-vector (t,x,y,z). The Lorentz invariant quantity defined by energy and momentum is mass: • For the special case when an object is at rest so that its momentum is zero • When a particle decays in the laboratory, we can measure the energy and momenta of it decay products (its daughter particles), albeit imperfectly. • The energy of the parent is exactly the sum of the energies of its daughters. Similarly, each component of the parent’s momentum is the sum of the corresponding components of the daughters’ momenta. From the reconstructed energy and momentum of the candidate parent, we can calculate its invariant mass. Michael D. Sokoloff

  4. Classical Field Theory (E&M) Michael D. Sokoloff

  5. Fields and Quanta • Electromagnetic fields transfer energy and momentum from one charged particle to another. • Electromagnetic energy/momentum is quantized: • E = hn ; p = hn/c • These quanta are called photons: g • In relativistic quantum field theory: Amg • To calculate cross-sections and decay rates we use perturbation theory based on Feynman Diagrams: Michael D. Sokoloff

  6. The Nobel Prize in Physics 2004 Gross Politzer Wilczek Strong Nuclear Interactions of Quarks and Gluons Each quark carries one of three strong charges, and each antiquark carries an anticharge. For convenience, we call these colors: Just as photons are the quanta of EM fields, gluons are the quanta of strong nuclear fields; however, while photons are electrically neutral, gluons carry color-anticolor quantum numbers. Michael D. Sokoloff

  7. Baryons and Mesons • Quarks are never observed as free particles. • Baryons consist of three quarks, each with a different color (strong nuclear) charge proton = neutron = • Mesons consist of quark-antiquark pairs with canceling color-anticolor charges • Baryons and meson (collectively known as hadrons) have net color charge zero. • A Van der Waals-types of strong interaction creates an attractive force which extends a short distance (~ 1 fm) to bind nucleii together. Michael D. Sokoloff

  8. Weak Charged Current Interactions charm decay neutrino scattering l ~ l As a first approximation, the weak charged current interaction couples fermions of the same generation. The Standard Model explain couplings between quark generations in terms of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matirx. Michael D. Sokoloff

  10. Particle-Antiparticle Mixing • A second order weak charged current process, a box diagram amplitude, provides a mechanism by which particles oscillate into antiparticles. • Particles decay exponentially with characteristic times • Neutral B-mesons mix sinusoidally with characteristic times • Experimentally which makes mixing observation relatively easy. Michael D. Sokoloff

  11. fCP fCP Time-Dependent CP Violation • Both particles and antiparticles can decay to common final states which are CP eigenstates. As an example, • The final state is invariant under charge and parity conjugation; that is, it remains . • The Standard Model predicts that the CKM phase will produce a time dependent asymmetry in the decays of and to this final state, and that the asymmetry will vary sinusoidally.
