WHAT IS MATTER ?
Matter is anything with “mass.”
Most types of matter-particles decayinto less massive particles.(very few particle are stable)
• ← ● → •“Lifetime” =
average time before decay.
“Decay Rate” =number of decays per second.
![Page 6: Matter and Antimatter - University of Chicagohep.uchicago.edu/ktev/adler/2002/adler_slides_oct2002.pdfFor every 1,000,000,000 anti-particles there were 1,000,000,00 particles.1 The](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022040618/5f2923f66b26dc1d0a19f807/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
WHAT IS ANTIMATTER ?
Every “particle” has a partnercalled an “anti-particle” .The two have the same mass andthe same lifetime (if it decays).
The main difference is that theyhave OPPOSITE electric charge.

The energy from:1 kg of antimatter +1 kg matter
could supply all US electricityfor 1 week.
This is equivalent to:☛ 1.5 kilo-tons of natural
Uranium†.☛ 30,000 kilo-tons of coal.
†This must be reduced to 0.2 kilo-tons of 3.5% purity U-235needed for reactors. Just 0.008 kilo-tons (8 tons) ofweapons-grade 90% U-235 would do the same job.

✸
Equal number of M, M and photons.M-M annihilation and photon-photonpair creation maintain balance.
A tiny asymmetry develops betweenM and M (origin unknown).
As the universe expands and cools,the photon energy drops below MC2
and pair creation stops. M-M annihi-lations continue until M is depleted.
The tiny amount of left-over mattermade all the stars and galaxies thatwe see today.

SUMMARY OF MATTER and ANTIMATTER
☛
☛
☛
☛
For every 1,000,000,000 anti-particlesthere were 1,000,000,00 particles.1
The origin of this SYMMETRY BREAKINGis still not understood
After ANNIHILATION, there are roughly1,000,000,000 photons for each particle.
Today these photons have cooled to 30 K,and are known as COSMIC MICROWAVEBACKGROUND RADIATION (CMBR).

Special Relativity +Quantum Mechanics
⇓Anti Particles must exist
(predicted by P.Dirac, 1929)

The first anti-particle wasdiscovered in 1932(3 years after prediction)
It was the anti-electron,now called as a POSITRON.

Q. Does current particle theoryallow for a matter-antimatterasymmetry ?
Theory REQUIRES:☛ same mass for M and M☛ same life-time for M and M
A. YES !There is an important loophole.

Example of Partial Decay LOOPHOLE:
Imagine a very heavy (hypothetical)particle called “X”
DECAYCHANNEL
DECAYRATE
X→ p e− 0.500000000X→ e+ e− 0.500000000X→ all 1.000000000

Discussion of the Hypothetical X Decay
Note that X and X haveexactly the same total decay rate*.Next define a partial decayASYMMETRY (A)
=
=
Rate(X→p e−)
0.500000000
Rate(X→p e+)
0.499999999
Rate(X→all)
1.000000000
[ ][ ]
= 0.000000001 (10-9)
* the lifetime = 1/(total decay rate) so that equal decay rates imply equal life-times.

Imagine a cube ofempty, boring space(i.e., NOTHING!!!)
Properties:- distance- time evolves- speed of light- isotropy- forces

There are 3 very importantSYMMETRY operations:
C:P:T:
Charge reversal (-e → +e)
Parity flip (-x → +x)
Time reversal(playing movie backward)

The asymmetry in K0-K0 mixingwas the first experiment to distinguishbetween matter and antimatter.
Does not involve decays.(recall partial decay loopholeto account for antimatter deficit)
The quest began to compareK0→ππ to K0→ππ .

Some History ...●

Almost 30 years would passbefore the first experimentalhint of the partial decayasymmetry in kaon decays.
In the early 1990s, both CERNand Fermilab began large newexperiments to look for thisasymmetry.

Fermilab uses a high energyproton beam (E=860mc2).There is plenty of energy toproduce kaons.
The experiment is called
KTEV“Kaons at the Tevatron”
TEV = 1 trillion electron volts (1012 eV)Tevatron = name of accelerator(highest energy in the world)

To avoid kaon collisions with airmolecules, the kaons decay in aVACUUM tank at 1/billionth (10-9)of an atmosphere of pressure.

COMPUTER SIMULATIONS
When kaons decay into two pions, at leastone pion misses our detector for about halfof the decays, and are NOT counted.See example below.
A detailed computer simulation was used topredict the exact fraction of decays thatmissed our detector. The calculation tooka few CPU-months!

Despite our enormous computing power,we would need 100 times more computingto process all of the particle interactionsin our detectors.
To get around this problem we use acustom-built ELECTRONIC TRIGGERto do most of the selection.It makes a decision 53 million times per second.The time per decision is less than0.000,000,020 seconds (2 x 10-8 s)!

The events at the left of each plot are due to backgroundfrom decays into 3 pions in which a π0 escapes detection.

The Concept of Uncertainty
Flip a coin 100 times.(expect 50 heads, 50 tails).
You get 40 heads, 60 tails ...Is it “loaded” ?
A standard deviation is 5 flips.50± 5 heads (45-55) happens 67%50±10 heads (40-60) happens 95%50±15 heads (35-65) happens 99%
The above experiment would report40±5 heads. What do you conclude ? .

The Concept of UncertaintyThe result 40±5 heads is“two standard deviations”from the expected value.The chance of observingsuch a fluctuation is 5%.
CONCLUSION:this result by itself cannotdistinguish a random fluctu-ation from a loaded coin.Need more coinflips!

Experimental Summary (Oct, 2002)
☛
☛
Average of four experimentsgives a decay asymmetry of(7.4 ± 0.7) × 10-6
(10-6 = parts per million)
The effect is ten standarddeviations from zero⇒ VERY SIGNIFICANT !
(more data still to process ...)

Significance of Kaon Experiments
☛
☛
The observed K0(K0)→ππ asymmetrycannot explain the M deficitin our universe(no protons in kaon decays).
This is a “proof of principle” forthe partial decay asymmetrybetween a particle and its anti-particle. This fundamentalprinciple could be responsiblefor the antimatter deficit in theuniverse.

Are Aliens Made of Matter or Antimatter ?An interesting puzzle is to use our knowledge of kaons to figureout if aliens are made of matter or antimatter. After all, wewould want to be sure that aliens are made of matter beforearranging a visit. A possible communication is given below.
Since the Fermilab beam and target are made of matter, weproduce slightly more K0 than K
0. For example,p + p → p K0Λ is allowedp + p → p K
0 Λ
is forbiddenThe same experiment in an antimatter world would have anexcess of K
0. The K0 and K0 excesses are:
p + target → 7 K0 per 6 K0 (matter world)
p
+ target → 7 K0 per 6 K0 (antimatter world)
● Earth message:“Matter kaons (K0) have bigger decay rate into π+π−, ”
Rate(K0→π+π−) > Rate(K0→π+π−)
● Alien message if made of matter: Same as earth message.
❍ Alien message if made of antimatter:“Antimatter kaons (K
0) have bigger decay rate into π+π− ”
