CP VIOLATIOR 1984: THE KM HODEL CORPRORTS EKPERIHERT

Barry R. Holstein Departrnent of Physics, University of Hassachusetts,Amherst, BA 01003

Using recent experimentaldata involving the b. t quarks and the nen measurement of B+/Uoo we show that the KM picture of CP violation is barely compatiblewith these results. Slight improvementsin any of these limits could require abandonementof the KM picture as the sole source of CP nonconservation.and some of the resultant required "new physics" is discussed. 1 Although the discovery of CP violation took place two decades ago, theoreticaldiscussions on the subject have not changed much during this time. A typical talk is outlined below (I have given several such myself): a. Set up the formalism for the kaon system b) Rote that CP nonconservationhas been observed only in the kaon sector c) Show that current results are consistentwith most models d) Plead with experimentalistsfor more and better data During the two years since the last meeting, experimentalistshave been at work and have provided us with some very importantnew results. Examples are: i) the B meson lifetime:' rB

iv) the branching ratio for b + u/b -w' BR(b+u)< -%0.04 BR(b+c)

(4)

I shall argue here that, by combining all these new results, we can demonstrate that the standard KM model of CP violation is at present basely compatiblewith these data and that a significant- factor of three reduction in the bu/bc ratio could essentiallyrule out this model and require the introductionof interesting"new physics." In order to illustratethis feature, we first shall go through the standard steps a) and b) quoted above. bienote that CP violation in the I0 systezacan arise from two sources from the mass matrix that mixes K*, "K* and/or directly from the decay 0375-9474/85/$03.300 Elsevier SciencePublishers (North-Holland

In order to understand the origin of CP violation without introducingany 10 really new physics, it has become standard to use the so-called KM model.

(42) The best way in which to

understand the implicationsof eqn. 42 is shown in the figure below where we plot the b-u/b-c branching ratio vs. the b quark lifetime for various values of the B parameter. Assuming the allowed region r < 0.04

Given the possible 20x or so uncertainty associated with eqn. 38, these predictions can be modified slightly, but basically this is as far as we can stretch the KU model. If CP violation is to be accounted for by the 3 generation Xl4model, then r > 0.01

(481

Thus a test of this model is to provide a firmer measurement of 'c~or to push the experimental limits on the bu/bc ratio. A value less than 0.01 would suggest the abandonment of the K?lmodel as the sole source of CP nonconserving effects and thus would signal the existance of important new physics.

It should be noted that an additional test of the validity of the IQ! picture is to seek a non-zero value for E'/E. The point here is that the Kw model does possess direct CP violation in the K+2n decay amplitude. This must show up at some level. Thus we have E'/E - o[ Am/Im"Bl2

(49)

The parameter E can be calculated semi-reliably. It was noted by Gilman and Wise'* that although CP violation arises only in direct 4-quark diagrams involvingheavy quarks (cf. eqn. 331 these interactionsgag contribute to the transitions s+d + q + q-M + gluon 19 which is directly related to so-called "penguin" diagrams.

be found to be non-zero if the current experimental

result - Equation 3 - is improved somewhat., This is a second unambiguous prediction of the lG4model which will soon be tested. Violation either of Equations 52 or 48 would signal the downfall of the simple KW picture and would herald the presence of new physics.

There are, of course, a number of forms which this new physics could take. We shall list four (which certainly do not exhaust the possbilities):

B.R. Holstein / CP violation 1984

532~

i) There exist more than three generations, In this situation the form of the KR matrix demanded by unitarity becomes more general than the three generation version of Equation 16. There are more mixing angles ei and additional CP violating phases di. The constraint implied by Equation 48 is obviously lost. There are astrophysicalarguments associated with the primevil He abundance which suggest that the number of such generations cannot be greater than four, but it is difficult to assess the reliabilityof this 21 suggestion. ii) Left-Right Synunetry Models. It was originally proposed by Uohapatra and Pati** that a conceivable source of CP violation was the existence of a set of right handed gauge bosons Wi w;

.

One

complementingthe usual left handed

can here choose, e.g., the left-handedweak quark couplings to be

purely real and CP conserving,while the quark couplings to 4

are in

general complex and CP violating. Since experimentalbounds force the right handed Wi

to be considerablyheavier than its left handed counterpart,a

natural mechanism for the weakness of the CP nonconserving interactionis obtained. Uore recent work has extended the original Uohapatra-Pati mode1,23 and it appears that such models can be consistentwith present phenomenology. However, they have not yet been subjected to as much theoreticalscrutiny as has KX. iii) Higgs Models. The so-called "standard"model of the electroweak interactioncontains a single Higgs doublet. The mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking gives them a single neutral "physical"Higgs scalar whose couplings to quarks/leptonsare flavor diagonal and proportionalto mass. Weinberg suggested,however, that in a model with three or more Higgs 24 doublets, there exist physical charged Higgs scalars as well as neutrals. The neutral Higgs couplings are required to

be

flavor diagonal. However, CP

violation can be associated with the coupling of the quarklleptonsector to the charged Higgs bosons. In such a model Deshpande and Senda have argued 25 that C'/E must be - o = 0.05 which is ruled out by experiment. However, these calculationsdid not correctly include the constraintsof chiral symmetry. When this is done, the model is barely compatiblewith the 26 present limit; however, the Higgs model also appears to be in trouble by 27 predicting too large an electric dipole moment for the neutron. iv) The Superweak Model. Ever since CP violation was first detected it has been realized that it is possible for a very weak (-lO_gL 1 AS = !@ 2 coupling between K '- K Oto be the source of CP violation. Such an interaction

would contribute

to Im q2

in first order and could be

29

produced, e.g., by a new gauge boson whose mass is

SW

-

~00~ WW - lo3 TeV.

Unfortunately,the extreme weakness of the associated coupling makes it all but impossibleto see effects in other than the K" -?

system. Also,

the large value of WSw implies that it would not be detectable even at the SSC. so that the validity of such a picture would have to be verified basically by ruling out everything else.

We have seen then that the currently fashionableKW model of CP violation is tightly pressed by new experimentalresults. If the latter are improved it may well be that the K.?! model will be soon ruled out as the sole source of CP noninvariance. This would not be a discouragingturn of events, however, since some sort of new physics - right-handedcurrents, a new generation,etc. - would be indicated,opening up a rich new vein for experimentaland theoretical exploration.
