CP asymmetries in Strange Baryon Decays

  • While indirect and direct CP violation (CPV) has been established in the decays of strange and beauty mesons, no CPV has yet been found for baryons. There are different paths to finding CP asymmetry in the decays of strange baryons; they are all highly non-trivial. The HyperCP Collaboration has probed CPV in the decays of single Ξ and Λ[1]. We discuss future lessons from e+e- collisions at BESⅢ/BEPCⅡ:probing decays of pairs of strange baryons, namely Λ, ∑ and Ξ. Realistic goals are to learn about non-perturbative QCD. One can hope to find CPV in the decays of strange baryons; one can also dream of finding the impact of New Dynamics. We point out that an important new era will start with the BESⅢ/BEPCⅡ data accumulated by the end of 2018. This also supports new ideas to trigger J/ψ → Λ Λ at the LHCb collaboration.

Abstract: While indirect and direct CP violation (CPV) has been established in the decays of strange and beauty mesons, no CPV has yet been found for baryons. There are different paths to finding CP asymmetry in the decays of strange baryons; they are all highly non-trivial. The HyperCP Collaboration has probed CPV in the decays of single Ξ and Λ[1]. We discuss future lessons from e+e- collisions at BESⅢ/BEPCⅡ:probing decays of pairs of strange baryons, namely Λ, ∑ and Ξ. Realistic goals are to learn about non-perturbative QCD. One can hope to find CPV in the decays of strange baryons; one can also dream of finding the impact of New Dynamics. We point out that an important new era will start with the BESⅢ/BEPCⅡ data accumulated by the end of 2018. This also supports new ideas to trigger J/ψ → Λ Λ at the LHCb collaboration.
