Matter – Antimatter Asymmetry In Cosmos All searches for primordial antimatter in the universe have only yielded limits Where has all the Primordial Anti-Matter Gone? 10/7/2020 Vivek Sharma 3
The Baryon Asymmetry of the Universe n Possible Big Bang scenario: n n In the early Universe, there would have been equal number of baryons and anti-baryons (protons and anti-protons, neutrons and antineutrons) The Universe expands and cools, baryon and anti-baryon production stops, and annihilation depletes baryons and anti-baryons As the Universe continues to expand, the annihilation rate decreases Problems with this scenario: n The amount of matter and anti-matter remains equal n n n 10/7/2020 Observations indicate that we live in a largely matter dominated Universe The final ratio of [baryons + anti-baryons] to photons is predicted to be: There would be so little matter left that formation of galaxies, stars, planets and people would be hard to imagine ! Vivek Sharma 4
Generating the Baryon Asymmetry n n n In 1967, Sakharov showed that the generation of net baryon number requires: 1. Baryon number violating processes (e. g. proton decay) 2. Non-equilibrium state during the expansion, therefore unequal number of particles and anti-particles 3. C and CP symmetry Violation Many theories of Baryogenesis have been constructed using plausible assumptions but none is satisfying/testable At the core of all this is the phenomenon of CP symmetry Violation What is CP Symmetry Violation and what evidence do we have for CPV in Nature ? 10/7/2020 Vivek Sharma 5
Three Important Symmetries That We Assumed n Parity, P n n Parity reflects a system through the origin. Converts right-handed coordinate systems to left-handed ones. Vectors change sign but axial vectors remain unchanged n n Charge Conjugation, C n Charge conjugation turns a particle into its anti-particle n n e e , K K + - - + , g g + Time Reversal, T n Changes, for example, the direction of motion of particles n n x x , L L t -t CPT Theorem n n n 10/7/2020 One of the most important and generally valid theorem in quantum field theory. All interactions are invariant under combined C, P and T Implies particle and anti-particle have equal masses and lifetimes Vivek Sharma 6
Through The Looking Glass: The CP Conserving Mirror Until ~1956, C, P, CP and CPT symmetries were considered to be a trait of nature However, in the last 40 years a small set of observations in subatomic physics have fundamentally revised that view. 10/7/2020 Vivek Sharma 7
Fundamental Particles and Interactions • Matter is made of fundamental constituent particles called quarks and leptons • Their interactions are governed by gauge theories – SU(2)L U(1) : Electroweak & SU(3) : Strong • The forces are transmitted by Gauge bosons: – g, W±, Z 0 : Electroweak & gluon : Strong • Particles receive mass through interaction with the Higgs boson 10/7/2020 Vivek Sharma 8

Standard Model : Successful but Incomplete Description of Nature n n SM very successful in describing all experimental data so far Yet we think that SM is an incomplete theory because: n n n Requires 18 arbitrary parameters in theory n Diverse masses of quarks, leptons and Gauge Bosons : Why ? n Strengths of Interaction coupling : Why ? n Duplication of Generations : Why ? n Coupling between various quarks (and neutrinos? ) n Higgs gives Mass to All particles……where is the Higgs? Current Experimental Enterprise: Search for Cracks in the SM which would lead to its revamping or replacement with a more complete theory Good place to look : Symmetry Violations (precedence) 10/7/2020 Vivek Sharma 10

CP Symmetry Mirror is Universal ? n Despite the maximal violation of C and P symmetry, the combined operation, CP, is almost exactly conserved Exists n. L P Doesn’t Exist n. R C C n. L CP n. R Doesn’t Exist P Exists n 10/7/2020 But, in 1964, Christensen, Cronin, Fitch and Turlay observed CP violation in decays of Neutral Kaons ! Vivek Sharma 12
The Neutral Kaon System and CP Violation n Kaons are mesons (qq bound states) with Strangeness = ± 1. The neutral kaons are: and can be produced by the strong interaction (which conserves Strangeness) via, e. g. : n n But kaons decay through the weak interaction, which does not conserve Strangeness. So, the K 0 and K 0 are not eigenstates of the weak interaction. we can define eigenstates with definite CP as: A state produced as K 0 or K 0 can be seen as a combination of KS and KL 10/7/2020 Vivek Sharma 13
Two Very Different Kaons n n n While the K 0 and K 0 are charge conjugate states, the KS and KL are not, and they have different decay modes and lifetimes KS and KL decays to 2 or 3 pions, one can show that the 2 p final state has CP = +1, and the 3 p state has CP = 1 Because the mass of 3 pions is very close to the mass of the kaon, the 2 p and 3 p final states have very different phase space factors leading to very different lifetimes of the : KS and KL CP = +1 CP = 1 n Wonderful for experimenters! Can easily separate KS from KL 10/7/2020 Vivek Sharma 14
Discovery : CP Violation in K 0 Decay ! n In 1964, Cronin, Fitch et al. observed the long lived K 0 (which was presumed to be CP-odd) decaying into p+p , which is a CP -even final state! n n n This decay occurs only ~0. 2% of the time The long lived particle is therefore not a CP eigenstate, implying Weak Interaction violates CP We now refer to the two different neutral kaons KL and KS as : K 1 and K 2 are CP eigenstates n At the time of this discovery only three quarks and two leptons were known : How does one explain this CP Violation ? n 10/7/2020 Many Models proposed since to explain this TINY flaw in the “Universal Mirror” ( I will describe the leading contendor) Vivek Sharma 15
The Weak Decay of Quarks and Leptons Compared n The weak interaction can change the flavor of quarks and leptons n Leptons only change into the other lepton in the same generation e W e nm ne n But Quarks can change into a quark of any charge changing generation b W b c 10/7/2020 W W u Vivek Sharma 16
The Weak Couplings of Quarks n The coupling strength at the vertex is given by g. Vij g is the universal Fermi weak coupling n Vij depends on which quarks are involved n For leptons, the coupling is just g For 3 generations, the Vij can be n n b g. Vcb c written as a 3 x 3 matrix n n W This matrix is referred to as the CKM matrix We can view this matrix as rotating the quark states from a basis in which they are mass eigenstates to one in which they are Weak eigenstates 10/7/2020 Vivek Sharma 17
CP Violation via the CKM Matrix n n The CKM matrix is a 3 3 complex unitary matrix Requires 4 independent parameters to describe it: n n 3 real numbers & 1 complex non-trivial phase The existence of the complex coupling (phase) gives rise to CP violation If there were only 2 quark generations, the corresponding 2 2 matrix would be all real No CP violation Some implications: n All CP violating observables are the result of interference between different decay amplitudes involving weak phase n All 3 quark generations must be involved in the process CP violation is “built” into the Standard Model with 3 generations or n more …or so it seems ! 10/7/2020 Vivek Sharma 18

The Unitarity Triangle and CP Violation n n The unitarity of the CKM matrix implies, among other things, the orthogonality of the first and third columns: This relationship can be depicted as a triangle in the complex plane: (r, ) a g n n Standard Model (0, 0) (1, 0) The Area of the triangle is proportional to the strength of CP Violation and must be non-zero for CP violation to occur in SM. Experimenters job is to measure the lengths and angles of the triangle as precisely as possible…. . is it a triangle of non-zero area ? What is the shape ? 10/7/2020 Vivek Sharma 31
Unitarity Triangle From Indirect Measurements n So far lengths of triangle have been measured but rather crudely , net result is this : Assumes 3 Gen b n n n 10/7/2020 CP violation parameter in kaon decays e. K, (1 -r)h xd, from B 0 mixing, |Vtd| For each constraint, theoretical errors due to hadronic uncertainties dominate the width of the allowed band. Vivek Sharma 32
Is CKM Matrix the (only) Source of CP Violation? n The observed CP violation in Kaon decays is consistent with the CKM picture, but this is not a “test” ! n n Post-prediction ! But KM paradigm leads to large, predictable CP violating asymmetries in the decays of B mesons (Exptal. tests) Other sources of CP violation could give dramatically different results in the B meson system Why should we expect there to be other (new physics) mechanisms for CP violation? n It is difficult for CKM CP violation to generate the large observed matter/anti-matter asymmetry in the Universe (e. g. Electroweak Baryogenesis calculations) n 10/7/2020 There must be something else ! Can we see its manifestation in B Decay? Vivek Sharma 33

CP Violation Observations : The Bottom Line n n 37 Years after the discovery of CP Violation in Kaon decays and all the confusion that followed, we now have a clear explanation for CP Violation in subatomic systems The Standard Model prediction of a single phase as the cause of CP Violation is (at least roughly) right n n This statement is as good as the precision in current experimental data New Physics and their contribution to CP Violation in B decays are possible but remain to be discovered Experimental Measurements of CP Violation in Weak Decays can not explain the CP asymmetry observed in the Cosmos Interplay of Theory and Experiment needs to continue in order to understand why we EXIST ! 10/7/2020 Vivek Sharma 85

Symmetry in Physics n n The symmetry, or invariance, of the physical laws describing a system undergoing some operation is one of the most important concepts in physics. Symmetries are closely linked to the dynamics of the system n n Requiring the Lagrangian describing the interaction to be invariant under an operation limits the possible functional form it can take. Different classes of symmetries: n Continuous or Discrete n Global or Local n Dynamical n Internal 10/7/2020 Vivek Sharma Examples of Symmetry Operations Translation in Space Translation in Time Rotation in Space Lorentz Transformation Reflection of Space (P ) Charge Conjugation (C ) Reversal of Time (T ) Interchange of Identical Particles Change of Q.
