14. CP Violation in B Meson Decays

Prof. Masanori Yamauchi (KEK, Japan)

29/08/2007, 11:00

In particle physics, a theory called Standard Model has been established in the last two decades, which successfully describes almost all the known experimental results up to O(100) GeV energy scale. However it is widely believed that the Standard Model is only an approximation of an unrevealed theory that governs physics at O(1000) GeV energy scale, and purposes of the modern high...

24. CP and T violation measurements with K mesons

Prof. Marco Sozzi (University of Pisa)

30/08/2007, 09:00

A review is provided of the measurements and investigations of direct and indirect CP violation, and the related T violation, within the neutral and charged kaon systems, discussing the evolution of the field, the most relevant and recent experimental results. An overview of ongoing activities and new projects being prepared is also presented.

16. CP violation and Flavour Physics experiments in the LHC era

Prof. Tatsuya Nakada (CERN)

30/08/2007, 09:45

Study of Flavour quantum numbers in elementary particle physics had successfully revealed the structure of the Standard Model indirectly, before the direct discoveries were made; such as charm, beauty and top quarks and GIM mechanism and Kobayashi-Masukawa phase and CP violation. At LHC, physics beyond the Standard Model will be studied directly by searching for new particles...

12. Experimental tests of CPT symmetry and quantum mechanics in the neutral kaon system

Prof. Antonio Di Domenico (University of Rome "La Sapienza")

30/08/2007, 10:45

The neutral kaon system offers a unique possibility to perform fundamental tests of CPT invariance, as well as of the basic principles of quantum mechanics. The most recent limits on CPT violation will be reviewed, including the ones based on the Bell-Steinberger relation, related to possible decoherence mechanisms, or Lorentz symmetry breaking. Quantum coherence and other QM tests...
