Paul Dirac (1902 – 1984)
Combining quantum mechanics with special relativity,
and the wish to linearize /t, leads Dirac to the equation
i     x,t   m  x,t   0
(1928)

Dirac identified holes in this sea as “antiparticles” with

that these holes were protons, despite their large difference in mass,
because he thought “positrons” would have been discovered already)

An electron with energy E can fill this hole, emitting an
energy 2E and leaving the vacuum (hence, the hole
has effectively the charge +e and positive energy).

Symmetries
A symmetry is a change of something that leaves
the physical description of the system unchanged.
1.
Physical symmetries:
People are approximately bilaterally symmetric
Spheres have rotational symmetries
2.
Laws of nature are symmetric with respect to mathematical operations,
that is: an observer cannot tell whether or not this operation has occurred
Pollen of the hollyhock exhibits spherical
symmetry (magnification x 100,000)

16
Continuous Symmetries and Conservation Laws
In classical mechanics we have learned that to each continuous symmetry
transformation, which leaves the scalar Lagrange density invariant, can be
attributed a conservation law and a constant of movement (E. Noether, 1915)
Continuous symmetry transformations lead to additive conservation laws

17
digression: Symmetry of Reference Systems
Another type of symmetry has to do with reference frames moving with respect
to one in which the laws of physics are valid (inertial reference frames):
Physical laws are unchanged when viewed in any reference frame
moving at constant velocity with respect to one in which the laws are valid
Note that while laws are unchanged between reference frames, quantities are not
The fact that the laws of motion are unchanged between frames, plus the fact that
the speed of light is always the same lead to the theory of special relativity with two
consequences
Two events that are simultaneous in one reference frame are not
necessarily simultaneous in a reference frame moving with respect to it
There are some quantities (called Lorentz scalars) that have values
independent of the reference frame in which their value is calculated

18
Continuous Symmetries and Conservation Laws
In general, if U is a symmetry of the Hamiltonian H, one has: H,U   0  H  U †HU
f  H i   Uf H Ui  f U †HU i  f H i
Accordingly, the Standard Model Lagrangian satisfies local gauge symmetries
(the physics must not depend on local (and global) phases that cannot be observed):
U(1) gauge transformation

Electromagnetic interaction
SU(2) gauge transformation

Weak interaction
SU(3)C gauge transformation

Strong interaction (QCD)
Conserved additive quantum numbers:
Electric charge (processes can move charge between quantum fields, but the sum of all charges is constant)
Similar: color charge of quarks and gluons, and the weak charge
Quark (baryon) and lepton numbers (however, no theory for these, therefore believed to be only
approximate asymmetries)  evidence for lepton flavor violation in “neutrino oscillation”

19
Discrete Symmetries
Discrete symmetry transformations lead to multiplicative conservation laws
The following discrete transformations are fundamental in particle physics:
Parity P (“handedness”):
Reflection of space around an arbitrary center;
In particle physics:
P eL  eR
These are interesting because it is not obvious whether

Time reversal T :

The time arrow is reversed in the equations;
T invariance  if a movement is allowed by a the physics law, the movement in
the opposite direction is also allowed
C 0   0
Time reversal symmetry (invariance under change of time direction) does certainly not correspond to our daily experience. The
macroscopic violation of T symmetry follows from maximising thermodynamic entropy (leaving a parking spot has a larger solution space
than entering it). In the microscopic world of single particle reactions thermodynamic effects can be neglected, and T invariance is realised.

The CPT theorem (1954): “Any Lorentz-invariant local quantum field
theory is invariant under the successive application of C, P and T ”
proofs: G. Lüders, W. Pauli; J. Schwinger
Fundamental consequences:
Relation between spin and statistics: fields with integer spin (“bosons”) commute and
fields with half-numbered spin (“fermions”) anticommute  Pauli exclusion principle
Particles and antiparticles have equal mass and lifetime, equal magnetic moments
with opposite sign, and opposite quantum numbers

CP Violation
CP Symmetry requires that processes and
their anti-processes have the same rates
1.
Due to the CPT theorem, CP symmetry also requires T symmetry
2.
CP violation would enable us to distinguish between particles and
antiparticles, and between past and future in an absolute way(*) !
two worlds that are far away want to gather together: if one were made of matter,
and the other one of antimatter, the spaceship of the one that landed on the planet of the other
would lead to a disastrous annihilation. This could be prevented by measuring a CP violation
parameter (if exists) by both worlds and comparing the results.

where F and Z are electric and weak field strength tensors.
In the nonrelativistic limit one obtains the Pauli equation with the additional terms:
LCP  d EM E  d weak Z
But…. why do these dipole moments violate CP symmetry ?

Dipole Moments and CP Violation
Spin is the only explicit “direction” of an elementary particle. Hence the dipole moment
must be proportional to it
d s
The electric dipole moment is the average of a charge density distribution  polar vector
d   d 3 x   (x)  x

The spin has the form of angular momentum  axial vector

The Strong CP Problem
Remarks:
If at least one quark were massless, L could be made to vanish; if all quarks are
massive, one has uncorrelated contributions, which have no reason to disappear
Peccei-Quinn suggested a new global, chiral UPQ(1) symmetry that is broken, with the
“axion” as pseudoscalar Goldstone boson; the axion field, a ,compensates the contribution
from L :

The Discovery of CP Violation
Empirically (in the experiment) one does however not observe the neutral “flavor
eigenstates” K 0 and K 0 but rather long- and short-lived neutral states: KL and KS
Their observed pionic decays are: KS   
and it was believed that: CP KS   KS
0
and K L   
and CP KL   KL

The Discovery of CP Violation in

eigenstates with CP eigenvalues ±1:

While the flavor eigenstates are distinguished by their production mechanism, the CP
eigenstates are distinguished by their decay into an even and odd number of pions.
Since there is CP violation, the physical states (“mass eigenstates”) are not exactly the
same as the CP eigenstates:

Neutral Kaon Mixing
Neutral kaons can “mix” through the charged weak current, which does not conserve

Three Types of CP Violation
The CP violation discovered by Cronin, Fitch et al. involves two types of CPV:
CP Violation in mixing:
Prob(K 0  K 0 )  Prob(K 0  K 0 )
CP Violation in interference between decays with and without mixing :
also called:
“indirect CPV”
Prob(K 0 (t )     )  Prob(K 0 (t )     )
However, there is yet another, conceptually “simpler” type of CP violation yet to discover:
CP Violation in the decay:
Prob(K  f )  Prob(K  f )
CERN Summer Student Lectures 2007
A. Höcker: The Violation of Symmetry between Matter and Antimatter (1 & 2)
also called:
“direct CPV”

“Direct” CP Violation = CP Violation in Decay

It necessarily involves interference of amplitudes contributing to the processes.
To obtain interference, we need phases that change sign under CP

CP Violation in the Kaon Decay
We have seen that at least two amplitudes with different CP-violating (weak) and conserving (strong) phases have to contribute to the decay for direct CPV. This suppresses this
type of CPV, so that the observable effect should be small compared to .
To allow for (small) direct CPV, we need to slightly modify our previous definitions:
   

  KS   0 0 

If the observed CP violation is different in the two decay modes, we have a prove for a
contribution from direct CP violation. From the measurement of the ratio of these decayrate ratios we can determine  ’

And the Theory ?
Direct CP violation is in general very hard to calculate due to its sensitivity to the
relative size and phase of different amplitudes of similar size…
Many theoretical groups have put serious efforts into this. All agree that the effect is
much smaller than the indirect CPV (which is a success for the Standard Model !),
but the theory uncertainties are much larger than the measurement errors:

No CP violation without antimatter !
P, C, T are good symmetries of electromagnetic and strong interactions
P, C are maximally violated in weak interaction
CP, T are not good symmetries of weak interaction
no other source of CP violation has been found so far (EDM’s)
CP violation has been first discovered in the kaon system, and both,
