T violation has previously been shown to induce destructive interference between different paths that the universe can take through time and leads to a new quantum equation of motion called bievolution. Here we examine further details of…
We discuss time reversal (T) violation in neutrino oscillations in generic new physics scenarios. A general parameterization is adopted to describe flavour evolution, which captures a wide range of new physics effects, including…
Symmetries have a crucial role in today's physics. In this thesis, we are mostly concerned with time reversal invariance (T-symmetry). A physical system is time reversal invariant if its underlying laws are not sensitive to the direction of…
The physical mechanism of phenomenon is explained as a result of inequality of forward and reversed processes in optics. The importance of experimental study of its invariance relation is discussed.
The advantage of searching for violation of Time Reversal Invariance in neutron induced reactions using relative measurements of Time and Parity violating effects is discussed. This approach gives the enhancement of $T$-violating effects by…
Motivated by the recent CPLEAR measurement on the time-reversal non-invariance, we review the situation concerning the experimental measurements of charge conjugation, parity violation and time reversibility, in systems with non-Hermitean…
An asymmetry exists between time and space in the sense that physical systems inevitably evolve over time whereas there is no corresponding ubiquitous translation over space. The asymmetry, which is presumed to be elemental, is represented…
Symmetry transformations have been proven a bedrock tool for understanding the nature of particle interactions, formulating and testing fundamental theories. Based on the up to now unbroken CPT symmetry, the violation of the CP symmetry…
This paper is a tour of how the laws of nature can distinguish between the past and the future, or be T-violating. I argue that, in terms of the basic argumentative structure, there are really just three approaches currently being explored.…
In this letter we reinterpret and reanalyze the available data of the B meson factories showing the existence of direct experimental evidence of time reversal invariance violation in B mesons. This reinterpretation consists of using the…
We discuss the concepts and methodology to implement an experiment probing directly Time Reversal (T) non-invariance, without any experimental connection to CP violation, by the exchange of "in" and "out" states. The idea relies on the…
It is pointed that we now actually have no enough proofs to prove that time reversal symmetry is universally obeyed in the processes of particle interactions. The analyses show that the time reversal symmetry is obviously violated at least…
Connection between an intrinsic breach of symmetry of equilibrium motion and violation of the second law is accentuated. An intrinsic breach only of clockwise - counter-clockwise symmetry of a circular equilibrium motion can be logical…
Thanks to the unnaturally small value of the QCD vacuum angle $\bar\theta < 10^{-10}$, time-reversal ($T$) violation offers a window into physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. We review the effective-field-theory…
The laws of quantum physics can be studied under the mathematical operation T that inverts the direction of time. Strong and electromagnetic forces are known to be invariant under temporal inversion, however the weak force is not. The BaBar…
We consider the implications of a violation of the equivalence principle or of Lorentz invariance in the neutrino sector for the T-asymmetry $\Delta P_T \equiv P(\nu_{\alpha} \to \nu_{\beta}) - P(\nu_{\beta} \to \nu_{\alpha})$ in a…
We propose a method to establish time reversal symmetry violation at future neutrino oscillation experiments in a largely model-independent way. We introduce a general parametrization of flavour transition probabilities which holds under…
It is argued, as a working hypothesis, that "normal" and dark matter interactions can only be T and CP violating. One way to implement this idea is to consider that time reversal in dark matter is implemented, not by an antiunitary…
The experimental proofs of strong time invariance violation in optics are discussed. Time noninvariance is the only real physical base for explanation the origin of the most phenomena in nonlinear optics. The experimental study of forward…
Violation of unitarity for noncommutative field theory on compact space-times is considered. Although such theories are free of ultraviolet divergences, they still violate unitarity while in a usual field theory such a violation occurs when…
