Abstract

We propose to test PP- and CPCP-symmetries with the process e+eJ/ψΛΛˉe^+e^- \to J/\psi \to \Lambda\bar \Lambda. The general form of the angular distribution of the process is derived and several observables for the proposed test are introduced. With these observables one can distinguish the effects of PP-violations in the production of J/ψJ/\psi from its decay into a pair of ΛΛˉ\Lambda \bar \Lambda. Numerical estimations for proposed asymmetries of PP-violation due to ZZ exchange in SM are given. Our results show that BESIII has reached the sensitivity to probe these effects. At the proposed super-tau-charm factory with much enhanced luminosity it will be able to test the SM predictions with high precision. CPCP violating effect in J/ψΛΛˉJ/\psi \to \Lambda \bar \Lambda can also be tested. In particular, BESIII data already reached the sensitivity to prove CPCP violating effect due to current upper limit of electric dipole moment of Λ\Lambda. At the proposed super-tau-charm factory the upper limit can be improved by an order of magnitude.
