Abstract

It is proposed that TT violation in hadronic physics, as well as the masses of u,du, d quarks, arise from a pseudoscalar interaction with a new spin 0 field τ(x)\tau(x), odd in PP and TT, but even in CC. This interaction contains a factor iγ5i\gamma_5 in the quark Dirac algebra, so that the full Hamiltonian is PP, TT conserving; but by spontaneous symmetry breaking, the new field τ(x)\tau(x) has a nonzero expectation value <τ>=τ0<\tau>=\tau_0 that breaks PP and TT symmetry. Oscillations of τ(x)\tau(x) about its expectation value τ0\tau_0 produce a new particle, the "timeon", whose mass is independent of any known quantities. If the timeon mass is within the range of present accelerators, observation of the particle can be helped with a search of TT-violating events.}
