Violation of a Bell inequality in particle physics experimentally verified?

Relevant aspects for testing Bell inequalities with entangled meson-antimeson systems are analyzed. In particular, we argue that the result of A. Go, J. Mod. Optics 51, 991 (2004), which nicely illustrate the quantum entanglement of B-meson pairs, cannot be considered as a Bell-test refuting local realism.Comment: 9 page

Quantitative complementarity in two-path interferometry

The quantitative formulation of Bohr's complementarity proposed by Greenberger and Yasin is applied to some physical situations for which analytical expressions are available. This includes a variety of conventional double-slit experiments, but also particle oscillations, as in the case of the neutral-kaon system, and Mott scattering of identical nuclei. For all these cases, a unified description can be achieved including a new parameter, $\nu$, which quantifies the effective number of fringes one can observe in each specific interferometric set-up.Comment: 11 RevTex pages, 5 figure

CP Measurement in Quantum Teleportation of Neutral Mesons

Quantum teleportation using neutral pseudoscalar mesons shows novel connections between particle physics and quantum information. The projection basis, which is crucial in the teleportation process, is determined by the conservation laws of particle physics, and is different from the Bell basis, as in the usual case. Here we show that one can verify the teleportation process by CP measurement. This method significantly simplifies the high energy quantum teleportation protocol. Especially, it is rigorous, and is independent of whether CP is violated in weak decays. This method can also be applied to general verification of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations in particle physics.Comment: 7 page

Mixing of eta-eta' Mesons in J/psi Decays into a Vector and a Pseudoscalar Meson

The octet-singlet mixing angle $\theta_P$ in the pseudoscalar meson nonet is deduced from the rich set of accurate data on $J/\psi$ decays into a vector and a pseudoscalar meson. Corrections due to non-ideal $\omega$-$\phi$ mixing have been included for the first time and turn out to be crucial to find $\theta_P = -16.9 \pm 1.7$ degrees, which is appreciably less negative than previous results coming from similar analyses.Comment: 9 pages, LaTeX, full postscript file available via anonymous ftp at ftp://ftp.ifae.es/preprint/ft/uabft412.p

The η−η′\eta - \eta' Mixing Angle Revisited

The value of the $\eta - \eta'$ mixing angle $\theta_P$ is phenomenologically deduced from a rather exhaustive and up-to-date analysis of data including strong decays of tensor and higher-spin mesons, electromagnetic decays of vector and pseudoscalar mesons, $J/\psi$ decays into a vector and a pseudoscalar meson, and other transitions. A value of $\theta_P$ between $-17^\circ$ and $-13^\circ$ is consistent with all the present experimental evidence and the average $\theta_P=-15.5^\circ\pm 1.3^\circ$ seems to be favoured.Comment: 17 pages, LaTeX. 2 references added, some comments on Chiral Perturbation Theor
