Genuine T, CP, CPT asymmetry parameters for the entangled $\boldsymbol{B_d}$ system
Abstract
The precise connection between the theoretical T, CP, CPT asymmetries, in terms of transition probabilities between the filtered neutral meson states and the experimental asymmetries between the double decay rate intensities for Flavour-CP eigenstate decay products in a B-factory of entangled states, is established. This allows the identification of genuine Asymmetry Parameters in the time distribution of the asymmetries and their measurability by disentangling genuine and possible fake terms. We express the nine asymmetry parameters -- three different observables for each one of the three symmetries -- in terms of the ingredients of the Weisskopf-Wigner dynamical description of the entangled -meson states and we obtain a global fit to their values from the BaBar collaboration experimental results. The possible fake terms are all compatible with zero and the information content of the nine asymmetry parameters is indeed different. The non-vanishing and are impressive separate direct evidence of Time-Reversal-violation and CP-violation in these transitions and compatible with Standard Model expectations. An intriguing 2 effect for the Re() parameter responsible of CPT-Violation appears which, interpreted as an upper limit, leads to eV at 95\% C.L. for the diagonal flavour terms of the mass matrix. It contributes to the CP-violating asymmetry parameter in an unorthodox manner -- in its time dependence --, and it is accessible in facilities with non-entangled 's, like the LHCb experiment.
