Parity Violation in Weak Interaction The q-t puzzle q+ g p+ + p0 t+ g p+ + p+ + p- * * The q-t puzzle : the beginning of doubt Lee and Yang proposal : violation of PC in weak interaction Wu experiment : proof of PC violation The meson decay : confirmation of PC violation Lopez Bruno October 24th, 2003 In 1947 Powell identified the p-meson in his cloud chamber. g Formulation of the weak interaction theory Experimental data indicate indentical masses and life times for q and t particules. g q and t seemed to be the same particule Two years later, he observed two decays of the k+ meson which called into question the parity conservation (-1).(-1) = (+1) (-1).(-1).(-1) = (-1) The conclusion was either q and t are different particules or parity is not conserved. g this is the q-t puzzle In 1953, Dalitz argued that since the pion parity was (-1) two pions would combine to produce a (+1) parity three pions would combine to produce a (-1) parity g If parity is conserved, q and t can not be the same particule In 1956 Lee and Yang suggested a proposal for ending the q-t puzzle. g Violation of parity in weak interaction ? Existing experiment do indicates parity conservation in strong and electromagnetic interactions to a high degree of accuracy. ? ? Past experiments on the weak interactions had actually no bearing on the question of parity conservation. ? Lee and Yang proposal If parity is not stricly conserved atomic and nuclear states become mixtures of the normal states with a small percentage of states of opposite parity. F is the fractional weight of these states. g F caracterizes the degree of violation of parity conservation if the scattering originates from a parity-conserving and a parity-nonconserving interaction. The experimental result reguires F 10-2, or F2 10-4 Experimental limits are F2 10– 4. In a proton beam polarized perpendiculary to its momentum and scattered by a nuclei, the scattered
