T and CPT in B-Factories
For the Bd meson system, CP, T and CPT indirect violation can be described
using two physical parameters, epsilon and delta. The traditional observables
based on flavour tag and used in the kaon system, are not helpful in the Bd
case, and new asymmetries have to be introduced. Here such alternative
observables, based on CP tag, are presented, together with the first estimation
on the sensitivity that current asymmetric B-factories can achieve on their
measurement.Comment: 7 pages, Talk given at the International Europhysics conference on

Dirac fermions at the H point of graphite: Magneto-transmission studies
We report on far infrared magneto-transmission measurements on a thin
graphite sample prepared by exfoliation of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite.
In magnetic field, absorption lines exhibiting a blue-shift proportional to
sqrtB are observed. This is a fingerprint for massless Dirac holes at the H
point in bulk graphite. The Fermi velocity is found to be c*=1.02x10^6 m/s and
the pseudogap at the H point is estimated to be below 10 meV. Although the
holes behave to a first approximation as a strictly 2D gas of Dirac fermions,
the full 3D band structure has to be taken into account to explain all the
observed spectral features.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, to appear in Phys. Rev. Let
