Gravity induced CP violation

Abstract

The impact of earth's gravity on neutral kaons oscillations is analyzed. The main effect of a Newtonian potential is to couple the strangeness oscillation and the strange quarks zitterbewegung. This coupling is responsible for the observed CP violations. Gravity induced CP violation is in fact a CPT violation with T conservation rather than a T violation with CPT conservation, but the finite lifetime of the short-lived kaons induces a rotation of the imaginary CPT parameter such that it becomes real and the effect is observed as a CP and T violation. Both indirect and direct violation parameters are predicted in agreement with the experimental data.
