چکیده

It is pointed out that the judgment condition of time reversal symmetry in the processes of particle interaction is that the Hamiltioians of systems satisfy the relation Ĥ(t) = Ĥ∗(−t). But this condition can not be satisfied actually in the current interaction theories, so the symmetry of time reversal does not exist actually in the current theories of particle interactions. In the current proof of time reversal symmetry, the relation Ĥ(t) = Ĥ∗(−t) is supposed to exist in advance, then the translation relations between the time reversal operator and the field quantities are deduced. So the current proof about the symmetry of time reversal is not a real one. PACS number: 1130 In quantum mechanics, the transformation of time reversal is carried out in the light of following procedure. Let t → −t in the Schordinger’s equation. i ∂ ∂t ψ(x, t) = Ĥ(t)ψ(x, t) (1) and suppose that the Hamiltonian Ĥ is unchanged when t → −t with Ĥ(t) = Ĥ(−t). Thus, we get. − i ∂ ∂t ψ(x,−t) = Ĥ(t)ψ(x,−t) (2) Then, take the complex conjugation of Eq.(2) and suppose Ĥ(t) = Ĥ(t) again, we have i ∂ ∂t ψ(x,−t) = Ĥ(t)ψ(x,−t) (3) Comparing Eq.3 with Eq.1, it can been seen that ψ∗(x,−t) and ψ(x, t) satisfy the same equation. So we define time reversal operator T as follows when it is acted on the wave function Tψ(x, t) = ψ(x,−t) (4) In this way, ψ∗(x,−t) represents the wave function of time reversal process. Eq.(4) shows that the operator of time reversal is an antiunitary operator, which can be defined as generally T (λψ1 + Xψ2) = λTψ1 + X Tψ2 (5) Because wave function ψ(x, t) and ψ∗(x,−t) satisfy the same equation, we have ψ∗(x,−t) = bψ(x, t). Here b is a constant. We can take b = 1 for simplification. But ψ(x,−t) 6= ψ(x, t) in general. It seems that the positive process is different from the reversal process. However, because the wave function can not be directly measured, what can be done is the possibility density ρ. Suppose ρ(x, t) = ψ(x, t)ψ(x, t) is the possibility density of the positive process, the possibility density of the time reversal process is ρ(x,−t) = ψ∗(x,−t)ψ(x,−t). If the motion equation of quantum mechanics is unchanged under the time reversal, we have ψ∗(x,−t) = ψ(x,−t) so that the possibility densities of the positive and opposite processes become the same with ρ(x,−t) = ψ∗(x,−t)ψ(x,−t) = ψ(x, t)ψ(x, t) = ρ(x, t). Therefore, the process is considered as the reversible or symmetrical for

Several New Cases Violating Time Reversal Symmetry In the Processes of Particle Interactions

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 in the processes of particle’s decays, especially in the processes of strange particle’s decays, and some resonance states with only one middle resonance par...

Can the mirror world explain the ortho - positronium lifetime puzzle ?

We suggest that the discrepant lifetime measurements of ortho-positronium can be explained by ortho-positronium oscillations into mirror ortho-positronium. This explanation can be tested in future vacuum experiments. [email protected] [email protected] A “mirror universe” is predicted to exist if parity and/or time reversal are unbroken symmetries of nature [1,2]. The idea is th...

A More Rational Scheme for C,P,T Transformations and Elimination of Reversibility Paradox in Time Reversal as well as T Violation in Weak Interaction

A more rational and perfect scheme of C,P, T transformations is advanced in the manuscript. In the new scheme, the transition probability densities are invariable under C,P, T transformations individually in the pure sate processes of electromagnetic and strong interactions. In some processes of weak interaction such as K and B meson’s decays, CP and T symmetries are violated simultaneously and...

Theory and Tests of Cpt and Lorentz Violation

Nature appears to be covariant both under the discrete transformation CPT, formed from the product of charge conjugation C, parity inversion P, and time reversal T, and under the continuous Lorentz transformations including rotations and boosts. The CPT theorem links these symmetries, stating that under mild technical assumptions CPT is an exact symmetry of local Lorentzcovariant field theories...

Interactions and broken time-reversal symmetry in chaotic quantum dots

When treating interactions in quantum dots within a random-phase-approximation sRPAd-like approach, time-reversal symmetry plays an important role as higher-order terms—the Cooper series—need to be included when this symmetry is present. Here we consider model quantum dots in a magnetic field weak enough to leave the dynamics of the dot chaotic, but strong enough to break time-reversal symmetry...
