CP Violation in B0 Decays: Some Highlights Vivek Sharma University of California at San Diego SheldonFest, May 20, 2006
1987: Argus Discovers large B0B0 Oscillation Rate First time I heard the word CP violation and B mesons spoken together Started a chain of activities which ultimately led to the construction & operation of the asymmetric energy B factories Much skepticism initially about how well these machines would perform
PEP-II Asymmetric B Factory & BaBar

Direct CP Violation in B0 K Loop diagrams from New Physics (e.g. SUSY) can modify SM asymmetry via Penguin diagram Need reliable knowledge of T/P and relative strong phase to extract /3 Clean mode with a “large” rate: Measurement is a “Counting Experiment”
Direct CP Violation in B0 K : BaBar 4.2, syst. included BABAR
Direct CP Violation in B0 K : Belle (386M BB) Combined significance >> 6 Belle Rules out Superweak model Establishes CPV not just due to phase of B Mixing But hadronic uncertainties preclude determination of CKM angle challenge to theory
CPV In Interference Between Mixing and Decay + 2 B0 fcp CP asymm. can be very large and “cleanly” related to CKM angles Requires time dependent measurement of CP Asymmetry
Time-dependent CP Asymmetry Due to Interference in Mixing and Decay Phase of mixing Amplitude ratio (direct CPV) (indirect) (for single weak decay amplitude)
The “Platinum” Mode : B0 J/K0 CP = -1 (+1) for J/y K0S(L)
