symmetry violation

... suddenly we discover that we can observe a "non - observable".

A is discovered.

Some symmetries might have a deep reason to exist ... other not.

The Right-Left symmetry (Parity) was considered an

exact symmetry 1956

P conserved in e.m. and strong interacctions

1924 O. Laporte classified the wavefunctions of an atom aseither even or odd, parity 1 or 1.In e.m. atomic transitions a photon of parity 1 is emitted.The atomic wavefunction must change to keep the overallsymmetry constant (Eugene Wigner, 1927) : Parity is conserved in e.m. transitions

This is also true for e.m. nuclear or sub-nuclear processes(within uncertainties).

H(strong) and H(e.m.) are considered parity conserving.

Parity in weak interactions

* E. Fermi, 1949 model of W interactions: P conservation assumed

* C.F. Powell,... observation of two apparently identical particles "tau" and "theta" weakly decaying tau 3 pions theta 2 pionswhich indicates P(tau) = 1 and P(theta) =1If Parity holds "tau" and "theta" cannot be the same particle.

* HEP conf. Rochester 1956 Tsung Dao Lee and Chen Ning Yangsuggest that some particles can appear as parity doublets.Feynman brought up the question of non-conservation of parity(but bets 50 $ that P is conserved). Wigner suggests P is violatedin weak interactions.

Parity in weak interactions .2

Lee and Yang make a careful study of all known experimentsinvolving weak interactions. They conclude

"Past experiments on the weak interactions hadactually no bearing on the question of parity conservation"

Question of Parity Conservation in Weak InteractionsT. D. Lee Columbia University, New York, New YorkC. N. Yang Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, New YorkThe question of parity conservation in beta decays and in hyperon and mesondecays is examined. Possible experiments are suggested which might testparity conservation in these interactions. Phys. Rev. 104, 254–258 (1956)

rate is compatible with secondary production.4) No sign of significant of e+e annihilation in

CPTSchwinger-Lüders-Pauli show in the '50 that a theory with

locality,Lorentz invariancespins-statistics

is also CPT invariant.

Consequences:

* Consider particle y at rest. Its mass is related to:

yH0 ψ = ψ CPT( )+H0 CPT( ) ψ = anti − ψ H0 anti − ψ

particle and antiparticle have same mass (andalso same life time, charge and magnetic moment)

* If a system violates CP T must be violated,...

CP & T violation only in K0 system ???

Since 1964, CP and or T violation was searched for in othersystems than K0, other particles decays, EDM...

No other signal until 2001. In 2001 Babar at SLAC and Belleat KEK observe a large CP vioaltion in the B0-B0bar system

Page 38: Summary

A. Bay Beijing October 2005 38

Origin of CP violation

Hamiltonian H = H0 + HCP with HCP responsible for CP violation.Let's take HCP = gH + g*H† where g is some coupling.The second term is required by hermiticity.

If under CP: H H† that is CP H CP† = H† then

CP HCP CP† = CP (gH + g*H†) CP† = gH† + g*H

CP invariance : HCP = CP HCP CP† gH + g*H† = gH† + g*H

The conclusion is that CP is violated if g g* i.e. g non realCP violation is associated to the existence of phases in thehamiltonian.

Why do we expect some NEW PHYSICS ?* SM has 18 free parameters (more with massive neutrini),in particular masses and CKM parameters are free.* Some of the neutrinos have masses>0* Why the electric charge is quantized ?* The choice of SU(2)U(1) is arbitrary.* Gravitation is absent.

* Problems in Cosmology: What is the nature of dark matter and dark energy ? Baryogenesis does not work in the SM:

The SM amount of CP violation is too lowThe requirement of non-equilibrium cannot be obtainedwith heavy Higgs => new light scalar must exist

How to detect New Physics ?Direct searches:

search for new particles, for instance the supersymmetricpartners of particles.

New phenomenologies, indirect effects:ex.1: proton decay

ex.2: EDM measurement ex.3: Hadronic flavour physics very powerful (think to KM prediction of 3 quark families). It can in principle probe veryhigh energies (think to the Z was "seen" in low energy experiments, as an interference effect).Problem: very often complex underlying theory, with large errors.
