  4. Whystudy CP violation? Broken symmetries in nature - Symmetries have always been historically important in making discoveries - Most symmetries are not broken - Why is matter-antimatter symmetry different? Connection with Cosmology - CP violation is an important ingredient in baryogenesis - Also has a word to say in models of leptogenesis - Degree of violation not enough to generate the effects Connection with New Physics - Means of looking for new physics effects - CP violation may indicate inconsistencies in Standard Model

  5. Slide from Jonas Rademacker Chris Parkes

  6. A Lesson From History • New Physics shows up first at the intensity frontier • rather than at the energy frontier • GIM Mechanism used to predict 4th charm quark (core course) • CP Violation / CKM Matrix used to predict 5th/6th bottom/top quarks (this course) • Neutral currents found before discovery of Z • Top quark mass predicted from electroweak corrections in B physics • Higgs mass predicted from electroweak corrections W and Z bosons • Particularly sensitive loop processes • – new particles in internal loops • Standard model contributions suppressed /absent • Rare decays – flavour changing neutral currents • CP Violation • Lepton flavour / lepton number / lepton universality

  7. Lectures outline (1/2) • THEORETICAL CONCEPTS (with a bit of experiment) • Introductory concepts • Matter and antimatter • Symmetries and conservation laws • Discrete symmetries P, C and T • CP Violation in the Standard Model • Kaons and discovery of CP violation • Mixing in neutral mesons • Cabibbo theory and GIM mechanism • The CKM matrix and the Unitarity Triangle • Types of CP violation

  8. Lectures outline (2/2) • PHENOMENOLOGY AND EXPERIMENTS • CP violation and K physics • Mixing in the neutral kaon system • Neutral kaon decays • Rare kaon decays • CP violation and B physics • B factories, old and future experiments • Mixing in neutral B mesons • Benchmark B decays • Rare B decays • CP Violation and D physics • Mixing in neutral D mesons • CP Violation Direct. Indirect • Future prospects • Other topics, Concluding remarks • Spectroscopy, Fits • Overall CKM triangle Fits
