Recap uI W dI u W d,s,b Diagonalize Yukawa matrix Yij Mass terms Quarks rotate Off diagonal terms in charged current couplings u d,s,b W Replace the derivative with the covariant derivative introducing the force carriers: gluons, weak vector bosons and photon. The constants g_s, g and g’ are the corresponding coupling constants of the gauge particles. Niels Tuning (4) 4

Why bother with all this? CKM matrix has origin in LYukawa Intricately related to quark massed… Both quark masses and CKM elements show intriguing hierarchy There is a whole industry of theorist trying to postdict the CKM matrix based on arguments on the mass matrix in LYukawa… Niels Tuning (5)

CKM-matrix: where are the phases? Possibility 1: simply 3 ‘rotations’, and put phase on smallest: Possibility 2: parameterize according to magnitude, in O(λ): u d,s,b W Niels Tuning (6)

This was theory, now comes experiment We already saw how the moduli |Vij| are determined Now we will work towards the measurement of the imaginary part Parameter: η Equivalent: angles α, β, γ . To measure this, we need the formalism of neutral meson oscillations… Niels Tuning (7)

Meson Decays Formalism of meson oscillations: Subsequent: decay P0 f Interference P0 f P0P0 f Interference (‘direct’) Decay

Classification of CP Violating effects CP violation in decay CP violation in mixing CP violation in interference Niels Tuning (9)

Classification of CP Violating effects CP violation in decay Example: CP violation in mixing CP violation in interference B0→J/ψKs Niels Tuning (10)

2 amplitudes 2 phases Remember! Necessary ingredients for CP violation: Two (interfering) amplitudes Phase difference between amplitudes one CP conserving phase (‘strong’ phase) one CP violating phase (‘weak’ phase) 2 amplitudes 2 phases Niels Tuning (11)

Remember! 2 amplitudes 2 phases Niels Tuning (12)

CKM Angle measurements from Bd,u decays Sources of phases in Bd,u amplitudes* The standard techniques for the angles: bu Amplitude Rel. Magnitude Weak phase bc Dominant bu Suppressed γ td (x2, mixing) Time dependent 2β *In Wolfenstein phase convention. td B0 mixing + single bu decay B0 mixing + single bc decay Interfere bc and bu in B± decay. Niels Tuning (13)

Classification of CP Violating effects CP violation in decay CP violation in mixing CP violation in interference Niels Tuning (14)

Other ways of measuring sin2β Need interference of bc transition and B0 –B0 mixing Let’s look at other bc decays to CP eigenstates: All these decay amplitudes have the same phase (in the Wolfenstein parameterization) so they (should) measure the same CP violation Niels Tuning (15)

CP in interference with BφKs Same as B0J/ψKs : Interference between B0→fCP and B0→B0→fCP For example: B0→J/ΨKs and B0→B0→ J/ΨKs For example: B0→φKs and B0→B0→ φKs Amplitude 1 Amplitude 2 + e-iφ Niels Tuning (16)

CP in interference with BφKs: what is different?? Same as B0J/ψKs : Interference between B0→fCP and B0→B0→fCP For example: B0→J/ΨKs and B0→B0→ J/ΨKs For example: B0→φKs and B0→B0→ φKs Amplitude 1 Amplitude 2 + e-iφ Niels Tuning (17)

CP violation in Bs0 Mixing?? D0 Coll., Phys.Rev.D82:032001,2010. arXiv:1005.2757 CP violation in Bs0 Mixing?? b s “Box” diagram: ΔB=2 φsSM ~ 0.004 φsSMM ~ 0.04 Niels Tuning (24)

CP violation from Semi-leptonic decays SM: P(B0s→B0s) = P(B0s←B0s) DØ: P(B0s→B0s) ≠ P(B0s←B0s) ? b→Xμ-ν, b→Xμ+ν b→b → Xμ+ν, b→ b → Xμ-ν Compare events with like-sign μμ Two methods: Measure asymmetry of events with 1 muon Measure asymmetry of events with 2 muons Switching magnet polarity helps in reducing systematics But…: Decays in flight, e.g. K→μ K+/K- asymmetry

CP violation from Semi-leptonic decays SM: P(B0s→B0s) = P(B0s←B0s) DØ: P(B0s→B0s) ≠ P(B0s←B0s) ? B0s→Ds±X0μν

Next… Something completely different? No, just K CP violation in decay CP violation in mixing CP violation in interference

Kaons… K1, K2, KL, KS, K+, K-, K0 Different notation: confusing! Smaller CP violating effects But historically important! Concepts same as in B-system, so you have a chance to understand… Niels Tuning (28)

Neutral kaons – 60 years of history 1947 : First K0 observation in cloud chamber (“V particle”) 1955 : Introduction of Strangeness (Gell-Mann & Nishijima) K0,K0 are two distinct particles (Gell-Mann & Pais) 1956 : Parity violation observation of long lived KL (BNL Cosmotron) 1960 : Dm = mL-mS measured from regeneration 1964 : Discovery of CP violation (Cronin & Fitch) 1970 : Suppression of FCNC, KLmm - GIM mechanism/charm hypothesis 1972 : 6-quark model; CP violation explained in SM (Kobayashi & Maskawa) 1992-2000 : K0,K0 time evolution, decays, asymmetries (CPLear) 1999-2003 : Direct CP violation measured: e’/e ≠ 0 (KTeV and NA48) … the θ0 must be considered as a "particle mixture" exhibiting two distinct lifetimes, that each lifetime is associated with a different set of decay modes, and that no more than half of all θ0's undergo the familiar decay into two pions. Niels Tuning (29) From G.Capon

Intermezzo: CP eigenvalue Remember: P2 = 1 (x  -x  x) C2 = 1 (ψ ψ  ψ )  CP2 =1 CP | f > =  | f > Knowing this we can evaluate the effect of CP on the K0 CP|K0> = -1| K0> CP| K0> = -1|K0 > CP eigenstates: |KS> = p| K0> +q|K0> |KL> = p| K0> - q|K0> |Ks> (CP=+1) → p p (CP= (-1)(-1)(-1)l=0 =+1) |KL> (CP=-1) → p p p (CP = (-1)(-1)(-1)(-1)l=0 = -1) ( S(K)=0  L(ππ)=0 ) Niels Tuning (30)

Decays of neutral kaons Neutral kaons is the lightest strange particle  it must decay through the weak interaction If weak force conserves CP then decay products of K1 can only be a CP=+1 state, i.e. |K1> (CP=+1) → p p (CP= (-1)(-1)(-1)l=0 =+1) decay products of K2 can only be a CP=-1 state, i.e. |K2> (CP=-1) → p p p (CP = (-1)(-1)(-1)(-1)l=0 = -1) You can use neutral kaons to precisely test that the weak force preserves CP (or not) If you (somehow) have a pure CP=-1 K2 state and you observe it decaying into 2 pions (with CP=+1) then you know that the weak decay violates CP… ( S(K)=0  L(ππ)=0 ) Niels Tuning (31) 31

Designing a CP violation experiment How do you obtain a pure ‘beam’ of K2 particles? It turns out that you can do that through clever use of kinematics Exploit that decay of K into two pions is much faster than decay of K into three pions Related to fact that energy of pions are large in 2-body decay t1 = 0.89 x 10-10 sec t2 = 5.2 x 10-8 sec (~600 times larger!) Beam of neutral Kaons automatically becomes beam of |K2> as all |K1> decay very early on… K1 decay early (into pp) Pure K2 beam after a while! (all decaying into πππ) ! Initial K0 beam Niels Tuning (32) 32

The Cronin & Fitch experiment Essential idea: Look for (CP violating) K2  pp decays 20 meters away from K0 production point Decay of K2 into 3 pions Incoming K2 beam If you detect two of the three pions of a K2  ppp decay they will generally not point along the beam line Niels Tuning (33) 33

The Cronin & Fitch experiment Essential idea: Look for K2  pp decays 20 meters away from K0 production point Decay pions Incoming K2 beam If K2 decays into two pions instead of three both the reconstructed direction should be exactly along the beamline (conservation of momentum in K2  pp decay) Niels Tuning (34) 34

The Cronin & Fitch experiment Essential idea: Look for K2  pp decays 20 meters away from K0 production point Decay pions K2  pp decays (CP Violation!) Incoming K2 beam K2  ppp decays Result: an excess of events at Q=0 degrees! CP violation, because K2 (CP=-1) changed into K1 (CP=+1) Note scale: 99.99% of K ppp decays are left of plot boundary Niels Tuning (35) 35

Nobel Prize 1980 "for the discovery of violations of fundamental symmetry principles in the decay of neutral K mesons" The discovery emphasizes, once again, that even almost self evident principles in science cannot be regarded fully valid until they have been critically examined in precise experiments. James Watson Cronin   1/2 of the prize   University of Chicago Chicago, IL, USA b. 1931 Val Logsdon Fitch   1/2 of the prize   Princeton University Princeton, NJ, USA b. 1923 Niels Tuning (36)

Cronin & Fitch – Discovery of CP violation Conclusion: weak decay violates CP (as well as C and P) But effect is tiny! (~0.05%) Maximal (100%) violation of P symmetry easily follows from absence of right-handed neutrino, but how would you construct a physics law that violates a symmetry just a tiny little bit? Results also provides us with convention-free definition of matter vs anti-matter. If there is no CP violation, the K2 decays in equal amounts to p+ e- ne (a) p- e+ ne (b) Just like CPV introduces K2  ππ decays, it also introduces a slight asymmetry in the above decays (b) happens more often than (a) “Positive charge is the charged carried by the lepton preferentially produced in the decay of the long-lived neutral K meson” Niels Tuning (37) 37

Intermezzo: Regeneration Different cross section for σ(p K0) than σ(pK0) Elastic scattering: same Charge exchange : same Hyperon production: more for K0 ! What happens when KL-beam hits a wall ?? Then admixture changes…: |KL> = p| K0> - q|K0> Regeneration of KS ! Could fake CP violation due to KS→π+π-… strong interactions: must conserve strangeness leave little free energy – unlikely! Niels Tuning (38)

KS and KL KL and KS are not orthogonal: Usual (historical) notation in kaon physics: Modern notation used in B physics: Regardless of notation: KL and KS are not orthogonal: Niels Tuning (39)

The Quest for Direct CP Violation Indirect CP violation in the mixing:  Direct CP violation in the decay: ’ A fascinating 30-year long enterprise: “Is CP violation a peculiarity of kaons? Is it induced by a new superweak interaction?” Niels Tuning (47)

B system 1. Direct CP violation K system B0→K+π- B0→K-π+ K0→π-π+ K0→π-π+ K0→π0π0 K0→π0π0 Different CP violation for the two decays  Some CP violation in the decay! ε’≠ 0 Niels Tuning (48)

Personal impression: People think it is a complicated part of the Standard Model (me too:-). Why? Non-intuitive concepts?
