    CP Violating Observables in e−e+→W−W+e^-e^+ \to W^-W^+

    Full text link
    We consider various integrated lepton charge-energy asymmetries and azimuthal asymmetries as tests of CP violation in the process e−e+→W−W+e^-e^+ \to W^-W^+. These asymmetries are sensitive to different linear combinations of the CP violating form factors in the three gauge boson W−W+W^-W^+ production vertex, and can distinguish dispersive and absorptive parts of the form factors. It makes use of purely hadronic and purely leptonic modes of WW's decays as well as the mixed modes. The techniques of using the kinematics of jets or missing momentum to construct CP--odd observables are also employed. These CP violating observables are illustrated in the generalized Left-Right Model and the Charged Higgs Model.Comment: 23 pages, plus 11 postscript graphs not posted befor

    CP violation in top pair production at an e^+e^- collider

    Get PDF
    We investigate a possible CP violating effect in e+e−e^+e^- annihilation into ttˉt\bar t top quark pairs. As an illustrative example, we assume the source of the CP nonconservation is in the Yukawa couplings of a neutral Higgs boson which contain both scalar and pseudoscalar pieces. One of the interesting observable effects is the difference in production rates between the two CP conjugate polarized ttˉt\bar t states.Comment: 9 pages, 3 postscript figures not included but availabel upon request, CERN-TH.6658/9

    Squark Mixing Contributions to CP violating phase gamma

    We investigate the possibility that the CP violation due to the soft supersymmetry breaking terms in squark mixing can give significant contributions to the various γ\gamma related parameters in B decays, different from those of the Standard Model. We derive the new limits on (δ12u)LL,LR,RR(\delta^u_{12})_{LL,LR,RR} and on (δ23d)LL,LR,RR(\delta^d_{23})_{LL,LR,RR} from the recent data on D0D^0--Dˉ0\bar{D}^0 oscillation as well as those on Bs0B_s^0--Bsˉ0\bar{B_s}^0 oscillation. We show that, together with all the other constraints, the currents limits on these parameters still allow large contributions to the CP violating phases in Bs0B_s^0--Bsˉ0\bar{B_s}^0 as well as D0D^0--Dˉ0\bar{D}^0 oscillations which will modify some of the proposed measurements of γ\gamma parameters in CP violating B decays. However, the current constraints already dictate that the one-loop squark mixing contributions to various B decay amplitudes cannot be competitive with that of the Standard Model (SM), at least for those B decay modes which are dominated the tree level amplitudes within the SM, and therefore they are not significant in contributing to CP asymmetries in the corresponding B decays.Comment: 15 page
