CP Violation in τ Lepton Thanks to Prof. I. Bigi, here is a summary of the CPV in τ Physics. CPV is necessary for baryogenesis. However, CKM dynamics is irrelvant for it. One attracitve alternative: Leptogenesis driving baryogenesis cf) Previous talk by H. Paes ⇒ Search for CPV in lepton sector CPV in the lepton sector Has not been observed yet, in contrast with the quark sector. Search for CPV in the neutrino sector A very tough challenge. Search for EDM of charged leptons In some model, τ is most sensitive due to its heviest mass. Search for CPV in tau decays One of the most promising mode: τ → Kπν (J. K ¨ uhn and E. Mirkes, PL B398 (1997)407) Bigi pointed out: O (10 ` 3 ) is expected in τ → K S πν τ Physics at Super B-Factory, 2005.04.21 – p.8/17

DCPV in τ → K S πν According to the similar argument as the DCPV of D + → K S π + ν in the Bigi and Sanda’s famous text book, DCPV in τ − → K S π − ν A CP = Γ( τ + → K S π + ν ) − Γ( τ − → K S π − ν ) Γ( τ + → K S π + ν ) + Γ( τ − → K S π − ν ) ≃ 3 × 10 − 3 is expected due to the well-known CP impurity in K S : K S = (1 − ǫ ) K 0 − (1 + ǫ ) K 0 √ UL(Sensitivity) CLEO 2 10 −1 ⇒ This should be observed! 10 −2 Only CLEO searched for CP V in this mode 10 −3 (PRL 88 (2002) 111803, PR D64 (2001) 092005): − 0 . 172 < Im (Λ) < 0 . 067 10 −2 10 −1 1 10 Luminosity(ab -1 ) for the coupling constant Λ defined as A ( τ − → Kπ − ν ) ∼ ¯ νγ µ (1 − γ 5 ) τf V Q µ + Λ¯ ν (1 + γ 5 ) τf S M We can reach the sensitivity of 10 − 3 order at a few ab − 1 ⇒ CPV in lepton sector can be found at the Super B-Factory! τ Physics at Super B-Factory, 2005.04.21 – p.11/17

Summary Current status of two major topics to search for the physics beyond the Standard Model in τ Lepton are reviewed: Lepton Flavor Viloation: τ → µγ , τ → µη CP Violation: τ ’s EDM, τ → K S πν We discussed the expected sensitivities in these physics at the Super B-Factory. LFV We have already obtained the constraints on parameter spaces of the models of New Physics. More stringent limits can be obtained, or we can observe the New Physics at the Super B-Factory. CPV We’ve not observed any CPV in the lepton sector including τ . We can reach the sensitivity to the prediction of the New Physics at the Super B-Factory. Especially, DCPV in τ → K S πν should be observed. One of the important advantage of the B-Factory ( e + e − collider) to the hadron collider: We can look for τ polarization depencent CP asymmetry w/o needing polarized beam! τ Physics at Super B-Factory, 2005.04.21 – p.12/17

Evaluation of A CP ( τ + → K S π + ν ) In the SM one has Γ( τ + → K 0 π + ) = Γ( τ − → K 0 π − ) . And we know that K S is CP impurity as the experimental result: 1 1 − ǫ 1 + ǫ � � √ 1 + ǫ 2 K 0 − ≡ q K K 0 + p K K 0 . K S = √ √ 1 + ǫ 2 K 0 2 We here consider the amplitude of this decay mode: A ( τ + → K S π + ) = A ( τ + → K 0 π + ) � K S | K 0 � + A ( τ + → K 0 π + ) � K S | K 0 � We can neglect A ( τ + → K 0 π + ) /A ( τ + → K 0 π + ) and obtain Γ( τ + → K S π + ) ≃ Γ( τ + → K 0 π + ) | q K | 2 and similarly, Γ( τ − → K S π − ) ≃ Γ( τ + → K 0 π + ) | p K | 2 . Finally, A CP ≃ | q K | 2 − | p K | 2 | q K | 2 + | p K | 2 ≃ 2 Re ( ǫ ) ≃ 10 − 3 , we here used measured value of ǫ in K L → ππ . τ Physics at Super B-Factory, 2005.04.21 – p.15/17
