Philip J. Clark CP violation studies at BaBar Page 6 CP symmetry Is CP, a good symmetry for all interactions including the weak interaction? Cosmology: CP violation is one of the three necessary conditions to produce a global excess of matter in the Universe (Andreï Sakharov, 1967) 1964 : Christenson, Cronin, Fitch and Turlay CP violation in the decay of neutral kaons A CP-violating process offers an absolute way of distinguishing a world of anti-matter from a world of matter CPLEAR

Philip J. Clark CP violation studies at BaBar Page 11 Is the CKM mechanism sufficient? CP violation in the quark sector is not enough to generate the baryon asymmetry of our Universe Antimatter in the Universe ? Understand the origin of CP violation in the Standard Model The Kobayashi & Maskawa mechanism can it account for all the effects of CP violation that are observed in the quark sector? What can we do? and if possible, reveal inconsistencies between experimental data and theoretical predictions Possible manifestations of New Physics? Evidence for new sources of CP violation?

Philip J. Clark CP violation studies at BaBar Page 14 B Mixing Certain mesons can do a neat little trick (K 0, D 0, B 0 ) A B 0 meson can change into an anti B 0 meson (B 0 ) This is called “mixing”. It means these particles can (and do) oscillate into their anti-particles and back again The oscillation frequency is about 0.5 ps -1 !

Philip J. Clark CP violation studies at BaBar Page 42 Separating Signal from Background (II)  The other powerful thing we can do is to exploit the “event shape”  In the CM, the decay products of the B are distributed roughly spherically. This is because the pair of B mesons weigh only slightly less than the . They are essentially produced at rest  The continuum is light quark pair production, so there is lots of extra energy. All the decay products bunch into “jets”  We define variables that measure the degree of “jettiness” of the decay to tell us how more or less likely it is to be signal or background e+e+ e-e- e+e+ e-e- qq Signal B Other B
