Title: Measurable CP violation in charm decays
Speaker: 于福升副教授,兰州大学
Abstract:
CP violation plays an important role in interpreting the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe and searching for new physics beyond the Standard Model. So far CP violation has not been observed in the charm sector. Searching for CPV is one major goal of charm physics. We find new measurable effect of CP asymmetries in the non-leptonic charmed hadron decaying into neutral kaons in the Cabibbo-favored and doubly Cabibbo-suppressed processes. Compared to the CP asymmetries in the singly Cabibbo-suppressed processes, the advantages of this new effect include avoiding ambiguities from penguin contributions in theory, with only tree-level amplitudes available to be extracted from the data of branching fractions. Besides, such processes having larger branching fractions benefits for measurements in experiment. The values of such CP asymmetries are at the order of 10^{-3} and hence are accessible by the LHCb and Belle II experiments in the near future. Besides, the measurement and determination of time-dependent CP asymmetries at t=0 is a smoking gun of direct CP violation in charm decays and signal of new physics.
