Abstract

The direct observation of time reversal symmetry violation (TV) is important for the test of $CPT$ conservation and the Standard Model. In this paper, we study both time-dependent and time-independent genuine TV signals in entangled $D^0-\bar{D}^0$ pairs. A possible $CPT$-violation effect called the $\omega$ effect is also investigated. In the $C=-1$ entangled state, the asymmetries due to TV are calculated to be of the order of $10^{-5}$ to $10^{-4}$ within the Standard Model, but the modification due to the $\omega$ effect in the $C=-1$ states is found to be about $10\%-30\%$ when $|\omega|\sim 10^{-4}$. This result is consistent with our Monte Carlo simulation, which implies that with $10^9$ to $10^{10}$ events, TV signals can be observed in the entangled $D^0-\bar{D}^0$ pairs, and the bound of $\omega \sim 10^{-3}$ can be reached. The time-dependent and the time-independent asymmetries in the $C=-1$ $D^0-\bar{D}^0$ system provides a window to detect new physics such as the $\omega$ effect, although they are not easily observable.

Highlights

  • Symmetry, symmetry violation, and symmetry breaking have been playing important roles in particle physics

  • We have studied time reversal symmetry violation (TV) in the C 1⁄4 −1 entangled D0 − D 0 systems, and various Tasymmetries are considered

  • We calculated the time-dependent asymmetries of C 1⁄4 −1 system using joint decay rates, which are expected to be at the order of 10−5 in the Standard Model (SM)

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Symmetry violation, and symmetry breaking have been playing important roles in particle physics. An important development is that a genuine TV signal has been observed in B0 − B 0 decay, by comparing transitions that are related through time reversal but not through CP conjugation [13,14]. We use a Monte Carlo simulation [20] to study the C 1⁄4 −1 systems based on the current experimental situation and demonstrate that if the number of events reaches 109 TV signals can be observed; if the number of events reaches 1010, the bound of ω ∼ 10−3 can be obtained. We conclude that in the C 1⁄4 −1 D0 − D 0 entangled state the time-dependent asymmetry due to TV within the SM requires a large number of events and may provide a window to detect the signal of NP such as the ω effect.
