• Any B state can then be written as an admixture
  of the states BH and BL, and the amplitudes of
  this admixture evolve in time

A B0 state created at t0 (denoted by B0phys) has
aH(0) aL(0)1/(2p) an anti-B at t0
(anti-B0phys) has aH(0) aL(0)1/(2q)

CP violation three types
Define decay amplitudes of B and anti-B to the
same final state f Define also parameter l
Three types of CP violation (CPV)
l ? 1

CP violation in decay

Also possible for neutral B.
12
CP violation in decay
CPV in decay A/A ? 1 how do we get there? In
general, A is a sum of amplitudes with Strong
phases di and weak phases fi. The amplitudes
for anti-particles have same strong phases and
opposite weak phases -gt
CPV in decay need at least two interfering
amplitudes with different weak and strong phases.
13
CP violation in mixing
(again l ? 1)
In general probability for a B to turn into an
anti-B can different from the probability for an
anti-B to turn into a B.

B and anti-B from the Y(4s)

• B and anti-B from the Y(4s) decay are in a l1
  state.
• They cannot mix independently (either BB or
  anti-B anti-B states are forbidden with l1 due
  to Bose symmetry).
• After one of them decays, the other evolves
  independently -gt
• -gt only time differences between one and the
  other decay matter (for mixing).
• Assume
• one decays to a CP eigenstate fCP (e.g. pp or
  J/yKS) at time tfCP and
• the other at tftag to a flavor-specific state
  ftag (state only accessible to a B0 and not to a
  anti-B0 (or vice versa), e.g. B0 -gt D0p, D0
  -gtK-p)
• also known as tag because it tags the flavour
  of the B meson it comes from

Decay amplitude structure
Quark diagrams classified in tree, penguin and
electroweak penguin contributions. B decays are
not so easy due to long distance physics
effects rescattering processes can change the
quark content of the final state. Describe the
weak-phase structure of B-decay amplitude sum of
three terms with definite CKM coefficients

Decay asymmetry predictions - overview
Five classes of B decays. Classes 1 and 2 are
expected to have relatively small direct CP
violations -gt particularly interesting for
extracting CKM parameters from interference of
decays with and without mixing. In the remaining
three classes, direct CP violations could be
significant, decay asymmetries cannot be cleanly
interpreted in terms of CKM phases. 1. Decays
dominated by a single term b-gtccs and b-gt sss.
SM cleanly predicts zero (or very small) direct
CP violations because the second term is Cabibbo
suppressed. Any observation of large direct
CP-violating effects in these cases would be a
clue to beyond Standard Model physics. The modes
B -gtJ/yK and B-gtfK are examples of this
class. The corresponding neutral modes have
cleanly predicted relationships between CKM
parameters and the measured asymmetry from
interference between decays with and without
mixing.
37
Decay asymmetry predictions - overview
2. Decays with a small second term b-gtccd and
b-gtuud. The expectation that penguin-only
contributions are suppressed compared to tree
contributions suggests that these modes will have
small direct CP violation effects, and an
approximate prediction for the relationship
between measured asymmetries in neutral decays
and CKM phases can be made. 3. Decays with a
suppressed tree contribution b-gtuus. The tree
amplitude is suppressed by small mixing angles,
VubVus . The no-tree term may be comparable or
even dominate and give large interference
effects. An example is B-gtrK.
38
Decay asymmetry predictions - overview
4. Decays with no tree contribution b-gtssd. Here
the interference comes from penguin contributions
with different charge 2/3 quarks in the loop. An
example is B-gtKK. 5. Radiative decays b-gtsg .
The mechanism here is the same as in case 4
except that the leading contributions come from
electromagnetic penguins. An example is B-gtKg .

b-gt c anti-c sCP1 and CP-1 eigenstates
Asymmetry sign depends on the CP parity of the
final state fCP, hfcp-1

• J/y KS (p p-) CP-1
• J/y P-1, C-1 (vector particle JPC1--) CP1
• KS (-gtp p-) CP1, orbital ang. momentum of
  pions0 -gt P (p p-)(p- p), C(p- p) (p
  p-)
• orbital ang. momentum between J/y and KS l1,
  P(-1)1-1
• J/y KL(3p) CP1
• Opposite parity to J/y KS (p p-), because KL(3p)
  has CP-1

  different reasons small lifetime diff in B,

• -gt can be used to extract f12
• But it is not easy to transform from f12 to

Why is the parity of B0 (pseudoscalar meson) -1?
B0 is composed of two quarks with spin ½, with
total spin J0. The two quark spins are combined
