Antiparticles – Interpretation of negative energy solutions
- Dirac:
in terms of ‘holes’ like in semiconductors
- Feynman & Stückelberg:
as particles traveling backwards in time,
equivalent to antiparticles traveling forward in time
 both lead to the prediction of antiparticles !

Differences in matter and antimatter
 Do they behave differently ? Yes – the subject of these lectures
 We see they are different: our universe is matter dominated
Equal amounts
of matter &
antimatter (?)
Matter Dominates !

Proton decay so far unobserved in experiment, limit is lifetime > 1032 years
Observed BUT magnitude (as we will discuss later) is too small
In thermal equilibrium N(Baryons) = N(anti-Baryons) since in equilibrium

Key Points So Far
• Existence of anti-matter is predicted by the combination of
• Relativity and Quantum Mechanics
• No ‘primordial’ anti-matter observed
• Need CP symmetry breaking to explain the absence of antimatter

Symmetries
and conservation laws
Symmetries and conservation laws
Emmy
Noether
Role of symmetries in Physics:

Conservation laws greatly simplify building of theories
Well-known examples (of continuous symmetries):

translational  momentum conservation

rotational
 angular momentum conservation

time
 energy conservation
Fundamental discrete symmetries we will study
- Parity (P) – spatial inversion
- Charge conjugation (C) – particle  antiparticle transformation
- Time reversal (T)
- CP, CPT
Chris Parkes
27/
The 3 discrete symmetries

Parity, P
– Parity reflects a system through the origin. Converts
right-handed coordinate systems to left-handed ones.
– Vectors change sign but axial vectors remain unchanged


but
L=xpL
Charge Conjugation, C
– Charge conjugation turns a particle into its antiparticle


x  -x , p  -p


e+  e- , K -  K +
Time Reversal, T
– Changes, for example, the direction of motion of particles

t  -t
28/
Parity - spatial inversion (1/2)
P operator acts on a state |(r, t)> as
P  (r, t )   P (r, t )
P  (r, t )   (r, t )
2
Hence eigenstates P=±1
|(r, t)>= cos x has P=+1, even
|(r, t)>= sin x has P=-1, odd
|(r, t)>= cos x + sin x, no eigenvalue
Chris Parkes
Hence, electric dipole
transition l=1Pg=- 1
e.g. hydrogen atom wavefn
|(r,, )>=(r)Ylm(,)
m

P Yl (,)  Yl (-,+)
=(-1)l Ylm(,)
So atomic s,d +ve, p,f –ve P
29/
Parity - spatial inversion (2/2)
 Parity multiplicative: |> = |a> |b> , P=PaPb
 Proton
 Convention Pp=+1
 Quantum Field Theory
 Parity of fermion  opposite parity of anti-fermion
 Parity of boson  same parity as anti-particle
 Angular momentum
 Use intrinsic parity with GROUND STATES
 Also multiply spatial config. term (-1) l
scalar, pseudo-scalar, vector, axial(pseudo)-vector, etc.
JP = 0+, 0-, 1-, 1+
-,o,K-,Ko all 0- , photon 1-
 Conserved in strong & electromagnetic interactions

Charge conjugation
Particle to antiparticle transformation
C operator acts on a state |(x, t)> as
C (r, t )   C (r, t )
C 2 (r, t )  (r, t )
Only a particle that is its own antiparticle can be eigenstate of C !
e.g. C |o> = ±1 |o>
EM sources change sign under C,
hence C|g> = -1
o  g + g
(BR~99%)
Thus, C|o> =(-1)2 |o> = +1 |o>

CPT invariance
CPT THEOREM
Any Lorentz-invariant local quantum field theory
is invariant under the combination of C, P and T
G. Lűders, W. Pauli, J. Schwinger (1954)
Consequences: particles / antiparticles have
 Opposite quantum numbers
 Equal mass and lifetime
 Equal magnetic moments of opposite sign
 Fields with Integer spins commute, half-integer spins anti-commute (Pauli exclusion principle)
Tests:
 Best experimental test of CPT invariance:
(mK 0  mK 0 ) mK 0  ~ 10 18
(see PDG review on “CPT invariance Tests in Neutral Kaon decays”)
 Non-CPT-invariant theories have been formulated,
but are not satisfactory

Key Points So Far
• Existence of anti-matter is predicted by the combination of
• Relativity and Quantum Mechanics
• No ‘primordial’ anti-matter observed
• Need CP symmetry breaking to explain the absence of antimatter
• Three Fundamental discrete symmetries: C, P , T
• C, P, and CP are conserved in strong and electromagnetic interactions
• C, P completely broken in weak interactions, but initially CP looks OK
• CPT is a very good symmetry
• (if CP is broken, therefore T is broken)
