Quantum coherence and CPT symmetry tests in the neutral kaon system at KLOE
نویسنده
چکیده
The neutral kaon system offers a unique possibility to perform fundamental tests of CPT invariance, as well as of the basic principles of quantum mechanics. The most recent limits obtained by the KLOE experiment at the DAΦNE e+e− collider on several kinds of possible CPT violation and decoherence mechanisms, which in some cases might be justified in a quantum gravity framework, are reviewed. No deviation from the expectations of quantum mechanics and CPT symmetry is observed, while the precision of the measurements, in some cases, reaches the interesting Planck scale region. Finally, prospects for this kind of experimental studies at KLOE-2 are presented.

Recent results from KLOE
In this report I will present the recent results on K mesons from the KLOE experiment at the DAFNE ee collider working at the center of mass energy ∼ 1GeV ∼ mφ. They include Vus determinations, the test on the unitarity of the first row of the CKM matrix and the related experimental measurements. Tests of lepton universality from leptonic and semileptonic decays will be also discussed. Then I w...
متن کاملKaon physics at KLOE and KLOE-2 prospects
The KLOE experiment has measured most of the decay branching fractions (BR) of KS, KL and K mesons, providing precision results on the CKM parameter Vus, and the most sensitive unitarity test of the quark flavor mixing matrix. We are presently finalizing i) the analysis of the BR(K π π π ) that completes the measurements of the kaon dominant BR’s, and ii) the update of the upper limit on the BR...
متن کاملNew Results from Kloe
The most precise determination of Vus comes from semileptonic kaon decays. We have measured with the KLOE detector at DAΦNE, the Frascati φ-factory, all the experimental inputs to Vus for both neutral and charged kaons. Using our results we extract the value of Vus with 0.9% fractional error, which is dominated by the theoretical error on the form factor, f+(0). A new determination of the ratio...
متن کاملSe p 20 06 First Observation of Quantum Interference in the Process φ → K S K L → π + π − π + π − : a Test of Quantum Mechanics and CPT Symmetry
We present the first observation of quantum interference in the process φ→KSKL →π+π−π+π−, using the KLOE detector at the Frascati e+e− collider DAΦNE. From about 5× 104 neutral kaon pairs both decaying to π+π− pairs we obtain the distribution of ∆t, the difference between the two kaon decay times, which allows testing the validity of quantum mechanics and CPT invariance: no violation of either ...
متن کاملCPT and QM tests using kaon interferometry
The neutral kaon system offers a unique possibility to perform fundamental tests of CPT invariance, as well as of the basic principles of quantum mechanics. The most recent and significant limits on CPT violation are reviewed, including the ones related to possible decoherence mechanisms or Lorentz symmetry breaking, which might be induced by quantum gravity. The experimental results show no de...
