Antiparticles – Interpretation of negative energy solutions

- Dirac: in terms of ‘holes’ like in semiconductors - Feynman & Stückelberg: as particles traveling backwards in time, equivalent to antiparticles traveling forward in time

both lead to the prediction of antiparticles !

23/Chris Parkes

Proton decay so far unobserved in experiment, limit is lifetime > 1032 years

Observed BUT magnitude (as we will discuss later) is too small

In thermal equilibrium N(Baryons) = N(anti-Baryons) since in equilibrium

Key Points So Far

• Existence of anti-matter is predicted by the combination of• Relativity and Quantum Mechanics

• No ‘primordial’ anti-matter observed

• Need CP symmetry breaking to explain the absence of antimatter

Symmetries

and conservation laws

27/Chris Parkes

Symmetries and conservation laws

Role of symmetries in Physics: Conservation laws greatly simplify building of theories

Well-known examples (of continuous symmetries): translational momentum conservation rotational angular momentum conservation time energy conservation

Fundamental discrete symmetries we will study- Parity (P) – spatial inversion- Charge conjugation (C) – particle antiparticle transformation- Time reversal (T)- CP, CPT

The 3 discrete symmetries

Parity, P– Parity reflects a system through the origin. Converts

right-handed coordinate systems to left-handed ones.– Vectors change sign but axial vectors remain unchanged

x -x , p -p but L = x p L

Charge Conjugation, C– Charge conjugation turns a particle into its antiparticle

e+ e- , K- K+

Time Reversal, T– Changes, for example, the direction of motion of particles

Hence eigenstates P=±1

|y(r, t)>= cos x has P=+1, even

|y(r, t)>= sin x has P=-1, odd

Particle to antiparticle transformation

Only a particle that is its own antiparticle can be eigenstate of C !

e.g. C |o> = ±1 |o>

o + (BR~99%)

EM sources change sign under C,hence C|> = -1

Thus, C|o> =(-1)2 |o> = +1 |o>

CPT invariance

CPT THEOREMAny Lorentz-invariant local quantum field theoryis invariant under the combination of C, P and T

CPT THEOREMAny Lorentz-invariant local quantum field theoryis invariant under the combination of C, P and T

G. Lűders, W. Pauli, J. Schwinger (1954)

Consequences: particles / antiparticles have

Opposite quantum numbers

Equal mass and lifetime

Equal magnetic moments of opposite sign

Fields with Integer spins commute, half-integer spins anti-commute (Pauli exclusion principle)

Tests:

Best experimental test of CPT invariance:

Non-CPT-invariant theories have been formulated,

but are not satisfactory

Key Points So Far

• Existence of anti-matter is predicted by the combination of• Relativity and Quantum Mechanics

• No ‘primordial’ anti-matter observed

• Need CP symmetry breaking to explain the absence of antimatter

• Three Fundamental discrete symmetries: C, P , T

• C, P, and CP are conserved in strong and electromagnetic interactions

• C, P completely broken in weak interactions, but initially CP looks OK

• CPT is a very good symmetry

• (if CP is broken, therefore T is broken)
