Matter exceeds Antimatter, why?
Big-Bang model: Creation of matter and antimatter in equal amounts • Baryogenesis: Where did the antimatter go? • Three necessary conditions for Baryogenesis: A. Sacharov, 1967 Baryon-number violation • no problem for gauge theories but not seen yet Thermodynamical non-equilibrium • C and CP-violation (!) • What is CP-Violation? CP: Symmetry between Particles and Antiparticles
CP-Symmetry is known to be broken: The Universe • – Matter only, no significant amount of antimatter The neutral K-Meson (most of todays lecture) • – discovered 1964 (Fitch, Cronin, Nobel-Prize 1980) – almost 40 years of K-physics with increasing precision The neutral B-Meson (on Monday) • – measured 2001 (expected in Standard Model) Symmetry Image = Mirror-Image Image =/ Mirror-Image World Mirror World

P P ψ(~r, t) = ψ(~r, t) P 2 = 1 P = 1 ⇒ a ⇒ a A consequence of the Dirac-equation is that the parity of fermions b b and antifermions must be opposite:

T : Play the movie backwards, P : look at it in a mirror, Cb : change everything (including yourself !?) into antimatter b the laws of physics must be the same. ⇒ b Interactions vs. Symmetries

In weak interactions: – P and C are maximally violated – CP is violated T is violated ↔ In all interactions: – CPT is conserved Historical Overview
1954: CPT Theorem: • In 1954 C,P and T were believed to be conserved individually

Left-handed neutrinos and right-handed antineutrinos only. In weak interactions P and C are violated maximally. ⇒ CP can still be conserved. Strangeness

Strangeness is violated in charged weak interactions:
