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 (5)
Dynamics of Neutral B (or K) mesons… Time evolution of B0 andB0 can be described by an effective Hamiltonian: No mixing, no decay… No mixing, but with decays… (i.e.: H is not Hermitian!) With decays included, probability of observing either B0 or B0 must go down as time goes by: Niels Tuning (6)
Describing Mixing… Time evolution of B0 andB0 can be described by an effective Hamiltonian: Where to put the mixing term? Now with mixing – but what is the difference between M12 and G12? M12 describes B0 B0 via off-shell states, e.g. the weak box diagram G12 describes B0fB0 via on-shell states, eg. f=p+p- Niels Tuning (7)

Solve the eigenvalues lambda by putting det (H11-lambda*I) = 0 This you can not see here. You just have to sit down and *do* it. Niels Tuning (8)

Remember: C and P eigenvalue C and P are good symmetries (not involving the weak interaction) Can associate a conserved value with them (Noether Theorem) Each hadron has a conserved P and C quantum number What are the values of the quantum numbers Evaluate the eigenvalue of the P and C operators on each hadron P|y> = p|y> What values of C and P are possible for hadrons? Symmetry operation squared gives unity so eigenvalue squared must be 1 Possible C and P values are +1 and -1. Meaning of P quantum number If P=1 then P|y> = +1|y> (wave function symmetric in space) if P=-1 then P|y> = -1 |y> (wave function anti-symmetric in space) Niels Tuning (57)

Kaons… 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 (86)
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, KLmm - 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 (87) 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 (almost): |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 (88) 88
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 (89) 89
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 (90) 90
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 (91) 91
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 (92) 92
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 (93) 93
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 (94)
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 (95) 95
Intermezzo: Regeneration Different cross section for σ(p K0) than σ(pK0) 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 (96)
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 (97)
