Particle-antiparticle mixing and CP violation
• There is another type of “mixing” which is related to quark mixing. This can lead to observation and studies of CP violation
• consider the mesons which are neutral and composed of different types of quarks
• Weak interactions can change particle into antiparticle as charge and other quantum numbers are the same. The “strangeness” etc are changing through CKM mixing

P461 - particles VI 2
• Depends onVij at each W vertex • as V and V* are different due to phase,
gives particle-antiparticle difference and CP violation (any term with t-quark especially)
• the states which decay are admixtures of the “strong” state(a rotation). They can have different masses and different lifetimes
• #particle vs #antiparticle will have a time dependence. Eg. If all particle at t=0, will be a mixture at a later time
• the phenomenology of K’s is slightly different than B/D’s and we’ll just do K’s in detail. Kaons rotate and give long-lived and short-lived decays. B/D also rotate but lifetimes are ~same.

Neutral Kaon Semi-leptonicDecay
• Properties for “long” and “short” lived
• Semi-leptonic (Beta) decays. Positive or negative lepton tells if K or anti-K decayed
• partial width is exactly the same as charged K decay (though smaller BF for Short and larger for Long).

• Also decay hadronically
• Both decay to same final states which means the mixed states K1 and K2 also decay to these 2pi and 3pi modes. Means initial states can mix and have interference

Sidenote C+P for Pions
• Parity operator Pf(x,y,z)=f(-x,-y,-z). Intrinsic parity for psuedoscaler mesons (like K,pi) is -1
• Charge conjugation operator C. Changes particle to antiparticle.
• Can work out eigenvalue. As C changes charge, C=-1 for photon
• given its decay, pion has C= +1

Neutral Kaon Hadronic Decays
• 2 pion and 3 pion are CP eigenstates with eigenvalue +1 for 2pi and -1 for 3pi
• K1 and K2 also CP eigenstates
• different values of matrix element if initial and final states are the same CP eigenstate or if they are not CP eigenstates (like K+ or beta decays)
• if CP is conserved, K1/Ks decays to 2 pions and K2/KL decays to 3 pions. More phase space for 2 pions and so faster decay, shorter lifetime.

Decay and Interference
• From Schrodinger eq. plane wave solutions
• the two amplitudes have to be added and then squared. Gives interference. Example: start with pure K0
• Intensity is this amplitude squared
• small mass difference between the two weak decay eigenstates

Decay and Interference
• Do the same for anti-K
• get mixing. Particle<->antiparticle varying with time.
• At large time get equal mixture = 100% KL
• the rate at which K->anti-K depends on 1/deltam. You need to mix K<->antiK before they decay to have KS and KL

KS Regeneration
• Assume pure KL beam• strikes a target made up of particles (p,n)• different strong interaction cross section for
K and anti-K
• mix of K-antiK no longer 1:1. Example, assume “lose” 0.5 antiK, 0.0 K. gives (ignoring phases and so not quite right)
• First observed by Lederman et al. measures particle/antiparticle differences. Useful experimental technique

CP Violation
• C changes particle to antiparticle• P operator flips space (mirror image)• T time reversal t --> -t• fundamental axiom (theory?) of quantum
mechanics CPT is conserved• Weak interaction violate all 3. CP violation
is the same as T violation. Three observations (so far) of this
1 Universe is mostly matter (Sakharov 1960s)
2 KL decay to 2 pions (Christianson, Cronin, Fitch and Turlay, 1964)
3 neutral B decays
P461 - particles VI 11
CP Violation in K decays
• Ks and KL (the particles which have different lifetimes) are NOT eigenstates of CP. Instead K1 and K2 are
• When KL decays, mostly it is decaying to a CP=-1 state(3 pions) but sometimes to a CP=+1 state (2 pions)

CP violation in K decays
• CP is then explained by having a phase in the mixing between K and anti-K
• other sources of CP violation (“fifth force”) are ruled out as inconsistent with the various ways of observing CP violation
