Study of CP violation and CPT violation in $K^{\ast}(892)\rightarrow K_{S,L}^{0}π$ decays at BESIII

Abstract

The decays $K^{\ast}(892)\rightarrow K_{S,L}^{0}π$ can be used to study CP violation and CPT violation. The $K^{\ast}(892)$ (hereinafter referred to as $K^{\ast}$) meson can be produced via $J/ψ$ decays at BESIII. In this paper, we study CP violation and $K_S^0-K_L^0$ asymmetry in the $J/ψ$ decays involving the $K^{\ast}$ meson in the final states and obtain the following results \begin{align} {\mathcal A}_{CP}\left(J/ψ\rightarrow K^{\ast}f_{J/ψ}\rightarrow K^0_{S}πf_{J/ψ}\right)=\left(3.64\pm0.04\right)\times 10^{-3},\nonumber\\ {\mathcal A}_{CP}\left(J/ψ\rightarrow K^{\ast}f_{J/ψ}\rightarrow K^0_{L}πf_{J/ψ}\right)=\left(-3.32\pm0.04\right)\times 10^{-3},\nonumber \end{align} and \begin{align} &R\left(J/ψ\rightarrow K^{\ast}f_{J/ψ}\rightarrow K^0_{S,L}πf_{J/ψ} \right)=\left(3.51\pm0.03\right)\times 10^{-3},\nonumber\\ &R\left(J/ψ\rightarrow \bar{K}^{\ast} \bar{f}_{J/ψ}\rightarrow K^0_{S,L}π\bar{f}_{J/ψ} \right)=\left(-3.45\pm0.03\right)\times 10^{-3}.\nonumber \end{align} Basing on two cases: the samples of $10^{10}$ and $10^{12}$ $J/ψ$ events, we calculate the expected numbers of the observed signal events on the CP violation and the $K_S^0-K_L^0$ asymmetry in the $J/ψ$ decays with $K^{\ast}$ meson in the final states, we find that the BESIII experiment may be able to unambiguously observe CP violation and $K_S^0-K_L^0$ asymmetry for each of these two cases. We study the possibility to constraint the CPT violation parameter $z$ and discuss the sensitivity for the measurement of $z$ in $J/ψ$ decays with $K^{\ast}$ meson in the final states at BESIII. The sensitivity of the measurement of $z$ depend on the measured precision of the parameters $m_L-m_S$, $Γ_L$, $Γ_S$, $p$ and $q$ and the consistence between the values of $t_0$ and $t_1$ and the event selection criteria in experiment.

Axionic Wormholes in Metric-Affine Gravity

The axion is a promising candidate for solving the strong CP problem. To solve this problem, the global U(1) symmetry must be preserved to a high degree of accuracy. However, it is well known that global symmetries are explicitly violated by quantum gravity effects, giving rise to what is referred to as the axion quality problem. In this paper, we investigate axionic wormholes as a source of explicit U(1) violation in Metric-Affine Gravity. This framework allows for spacetime torsion and non-metricity, which accommodate additional curvature-like and topological terms, such as the Holst and Nieh--Yan terms, that are absent from the metric and Palatini formalisms. We show that non-minimal couplings to these terms modify the wormhole dynamics and enhance the Euclidean wormhole action, thereby alleviating the axion quality problem. We also find that the viable parameter space is enlarged when two of these couplings are simultaneously present. We further identify representative parameter regions where the alleviation of the axion quality problem is compatible with inflationary constraints.

Qubit-Qutrit Quantum Tomography of hadronic $\Lambda\phi$ and $\Lambda K^{\ast 0}$ systems

Quantum-information observables have emerged in recent years as new tools in nuclear and particle physics, from entanglement in top-quark pairs to spin correlations in $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ production. Extending these studies to unequal-spin hadronic final states poses a fundamental challenge: the $6\times6$ density matrix of a qubit-qutrit system contains 35 independent spin parameters, but the decays of $\Lambda V$ pairs, with $V=\phi$ or $K^{*0}$, provide access to only 23 due to the hidden vector polarization from the strong decay. In this Letter, we formulate a qubit-qutrit quantum tomography (QQQT) technique for these spin-$\tfrac{1}{2}\otimes1$ systems and establish exact criteria for entanglement certification from the \textit{incomplete} density matrix. Compared with the $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ system, QQQT of $\Lambda\phi$ and $\Lambda K^{*0}$ provides a new probe of nonperturbative QCD hadronization, enabling a direct comparison of the spin evolution of entangled quark pairs produced from the vacuum as they hadronize into a baryon or a vector meson.

Twist decomposition of exclusive heavy meson production cross sections

We study the twist decomposition of the total cross sections for exclusive heavy vector meson electroproduction and photoproduction in the $\gamma^\ast p$ processes, within the leading logarithmic $1/x$ BFKL formalism. The Mellin transforms of the impact factors of the vector meson are calculated. We show that the higher twist contributions are strongly suppressed in the low-$x$ kinematical regime. Possible enhancement of the higher twists effects for nuclei targets is discussed.
