Description for Observation of CP Violation in B+- --> DK+- Decays
Hardback. This book presents the results of an original high-energy physics analysis. The author describes the first observation of the rare decay, B- --> DK-, D --> pi-K+ and the first observation of direct CP violation in this B decay. Series: Springer Theses. Num Pages: 186 pages, 12 black & white illustrations, 115 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHQ; PHS. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 15. Weight in Grams: 450.
CP violation is a well-established phenomenon in particle physics, but until 2001 it was only observed in kaons. In the last decade, several matter-antimatter asymmetries have been observed in neutral B mesons in line with the expectations of the Standard Model of the weak interaction. Direct CP violation is also expected in the decay rates of charged B+ mesons versus that of B- mesons, though the greatest effects are present in a decay that occurs just twice in 10 million decays. Such rarity requires huge samples to study and this is exactly what the LHC, and its dedicated B-physics experiment ... Read more
