安德烈莫洛亚对追忆似水年华作的序英语原文André Maurois' Preface to 'Remembrance of Things Past'In his preface to Marcel Proust's masterpiece,'Remembrance of Things Past,' André Maurois pays tribute to Proust's unique writing style and unrivaled ability to capture the essence of human experience. Maurois highlights the profound impact the novel has had on both the literary world and the readers who have been entranced by its beauty and depth. Maurois begins by acknowledging the complexity and vastness of Proust's work, describing it as a 'monumental edifice erected by an architect who is also a poet.' He emphasizes the immersive nature of the novel, where readers are invited to explore the intricacies of memory, time, and the human psyche. Proust's writing, according to Maurois, transports us to a realm where the past merges with the present, and the boundaries between reality and imagination blur.Furthermore, Maurois praises Proust's ability to bring to life a multitude of characters, each with their own unique quirks, desires, and flaws. These characters, Maurois suggests, are not mere figments of Proust's imagination but rather reflections of the diverse aspects of human nature that reside within all of us. Through their stories, Proust invites us toreflect on our own experiences, desires, and the passage of time.Maurois also lauds Proust's prose style, which he describes as 'musical, vibrant, and evocative.' Proust's words, Maurois argues, have the power to stir emotions and awakenlong-forgotten memories within the reader. The sheer beauty of his language, combined with his meticulous attention to detail, creates a vivid and immersive reading experience that resonates deeply with the audience.In conclusion, Maurois asserts that 'Remembrance of Things Past' is not just a novel but a transformative journey that challenges our perception of time, memory, and the human experience. Proust's ability to capture the essence of life and his unparalleled talent for storytelling have solidified his place as one of the greatest literary figures of all time. Maurois' preface serves as a testament to the enduring impact of Proust's work and encourages readers to embark on this remarkable literary adventure.。

sectors has provided a wealth of information to guide the form and content of the Standard Model.In the framework of the Standard Model,mixing in the charm meson sector is predicted to be small[1],making this an excellent place to search for non-Standard Model effects.Similarly,measurable CP violation(CPV) phenomena in strange[2,3]and beauty[4–6]mesons are the impetus for many current and future experiments[7–10].The Standard Model predictions for CPV for charm mesons are of the order of0.1%[11],with one recent conjecture of nearly1%[12].Observation of CPV in charm mesons exceeding the percent level would be strong evidence for non-Standard Model processes.A D0can evolve into aD0→f ,¯r is the charge conjugated quantity,and f is a wrong-sign final state,such as K+π−π0.The different contributions to R WS and A can be separated by studying the proper decay time dependence of WSfinal states,as we have done in D0→K+π−[16],and has been doneby FOCUS in[17].The differential WS rate relative to the right-sign(RS)process,in time√units of the mean D0lifetime,t D0=(415±4)fs[18],is r(t)≡[R D+s≈10.6 GeV provided by the Cornell Electron Storage Ring(CESR).The data were recorded by the CLEO II detector[21]upgraded with the installation of a silicon vertex detector(SVX)[22]and by changing the drift chamber gas from an argon-ethane mixture to a helium-propane mixture[23].The upgraded configuration is referred to as CLEO II.V.The Monte Carlo simulation of the CLEO II.V detector was based upon GEANT[24], and simulated events were processed in the same manner as the data.The D0candidates are reconstructed through the decay sequence D⋆+→D0π+s[25].The charge of the slow pion(π+s)tags theflavor of the D0candidate at production.The charged daughters of the D0are required to leave hits in the SVX and these tracks are constrained to come from a common vertex in three dimensions.The trajectory of the D0is projected back to its intersection with the CESR luminous region to obtain the D0production point. Theπ+s is refit with the requirement that it come from the D0production point,and the confidence level of theχ2of this refit is used to reject background.The energy release in the D⋆→D0π+s decay,Q≡M⋆−M−mπ,obtained from the above technique is observed to have a width ofσQ=190±2keV[26],which is a combination of the intrinsic width and our resolution,where M and M⋆are the reconstructed masses of the D0and D⋆+candidates respectively,and mπis the charged pion mass.The reconstruction technique discussed above has also been used by CLEO to measure the D∗+intrinsic width,ΓD∗+=96±4±22keV(preliminary)[27].In the mixing analyses described below,the distribution of candidates in the Q vs M plane arefit to determine both right-sign and wrong-sign yields.We calculate t using only the vertical component of the D0candidateflight distance.This is effective because the vertical extent of the CESR luminous region hasσvertical=7µm[28]. The resolution on the D0decay point(x v,y v,z v)is typically40µm in each dimension.We measure the centroid of the CESR luminous region(x b,y b,z b)using e+e−→q¯q(q=udscb) events from sets of data with integrated luminosity of several pb−1,obtaining a resolution on the centroid of less than5µm.We express t as t=M/p vertical×(y v−y b)/(cτD0),where p vertical is the vertical component of the total momentum of the D0candidate.The error in t,σt,is typically0.4(in D0lifetimes),although when the D0direction is near the horizontal planeσt can be large.III.CP VIOLATION IN D0DECAYCP Violation in charm meson decay is expected to be small in the Standard Model,which makes charm meson decay a good place to look for non-Standard Model effects.Cabbibo suppressed charm meson decays have all the necessary ingredients for CP violation–multiple paths to the samefinal state and a weak phase.However,in order to get sizable CP violation, thefinal state interactions need to contribute non-trivial phase shifts between the amplitudes. Largefinal state interactions are a likely reason why the prediction for the ratio of branching ratios of(D0→K+K−)/(D0→π+π−)yields a value roughly half of the observed value[18], hence these may provide a good hunting ground for CP violation.Previous searches for mixing-induced[16]or direct[29,18]CP violation in the neutral charm meson system have set limits of∼30%or a few percent,respectively.We present results of searches for direct CP violation in neutral charm meson decay to pairs of light pseudo-scalar mesons:K+K−,π+π−,K0Sπ0,π0π0and K0S K0S.A.Search for CP violation in D0→K+K−and D0→π+π−decay The asymmetry we want to measure,A=Γ(D0→f)−Γ Γ(D0→f)+ΓΓ(D⋆+→π+s f)+Γ(D⋆−→π−s f)The slow pion and D0are produced by the CP-conserving strong decay of the D⋆+,so the slow pion serves as an unbiasedflavor tag of the D0.The decay asymmetry can be obtained from the apparent production asymmetry shown above because the production of D⋆±is CP-conserving.The asymmetry result is obtained byfitting the energy release(Q)spectrum of the D⋆+→D0π+s events.The D0mass spectra arefit as a check.The background-subtracted Q spectrum isfit with a signal shape obtained from K+π−data and a background shape determined using Monte Carlo.Figure1shows ourfits to both D→π+π−and D→K+K−distributions found in data,for both signs of the slow pionflavor tag.The parameters of the slow pion dominate the Q distribution,so all modes have the same shape.We do thefits in bins of D0momentum to eliminate any biases due to differences in the D0momentum spectra between the data and the MC.The preliminary results are A(K+K−)=0.0005±0.0218(stat)±0.0084(syst)and A(π+π−)=0.0195±0.0322(stat)±0.0084(syst).We use many different variations of thefit shapes,both empirical and analytical,to assess the systematic uncertainties due to thefitting procedure(0.69%).We also consider biases due to the detector material(0.07%),the reconstruction software(0.48%),and forward–backward acceptance variations(c¯c pairs are not produced symmetrically in the forward/backward directions in e+e−collisions at√s∼10.6GeV.The K0S andπ0candidates are constructed using only good quality tracks and show-ers.The tracks(showers)whose combined invariant mass is close to the K0S(π0)massQ Fits for KK CP RatesQ (GeV/c 2)05000500Q Fits for ππ CP Rates Q (GeV/c 2)FIG.1.Q distributions for D 0→K +K −(left)and D 0→π+π−(right)candidates separated into samples tagged as D ∗+(top)and D ∗−(bottom).Shown immediately to the right of each Q distribution are the point by point residuals of the fit.In each case the data points are shown with error bars and the solid line represents our fitting results.Summary of A CP (KK)A CP (KK) (%)FIG.2.A (K +K −)from this analysis compared to previous results.Summary of A(ππ)CPA(ππ) (%)CPFIG.3.A(π+π−)from this analysis compared to previous results.are kinematically constrained to the K0S(π0)mass,improving the D0mass resolution. The tracks used to form K0S candidates are required to satisfy criteria designed to reduce background from D0→π+π−X decays and combinatorics.Candidate events with recon-structed D0masses close to the known D0mass are selected to determine the asymmetry, A(f)= Γ(D0→f)−Γ(D0→f) .The Q distributions of the candidates in the three decay modes are shown in Figures4,5,and6.A prominent peak indicative of D⋆+→D0π+s decay is observed in all three distributions.The total num-ber of D0andD0to a givenfinal state is determined by taking the difference of the number of events in the signal region,and the asymmetry is obtained by dividing by the number of candidates determined above.This method of determining the asymmetry implicitly assumes that the background is symmetric.We have searched for any sources of false asymmetries:from theπ+sfinding(0.19%), from thefitting(0.5%),and from the backgrounds(0.35%K0Sπ0,0%π0π0and12%K0S K0S). Wefind no significant biases,but apply the measured corrections and add their uncertainties to the total.We obtain the results A(K0Sπ0)=(+0.1±1.3)%,A(π0π0)=(+0.1±4.8)% and A(K0S K0S)=(−23±19)%where the uncertainties contain the combined statistical and systematic uncertainties.All systematic uncertainties,except for the0.5%uncertainty assigned for possible bias in thefitting method,are determined from data and would be reduced in future higher luminosity samples.All measured asymmetries are consistent with zero and no indication of significant CP vi-olation is observed.This measurement of A(K0Sπ0)is a significant improvement over previous results,and the other two asymmetries reported arefirst measurements.Q (GeV)C a n d i d a t e s / 500 k e V FIG.4.(a)Fitted Q distribution for D 0→K 0Sπ0candidates.The points with error bars are the data,the solid line represents the background and the dashed line shows the interpolation intothe Q signal region.(b)The Q distributions for D 0→K 0Sπ0(points)and D 0→π0π0(histogram)candidates.Q (GeV)C a n d i d a t e s / 500 k e V FIG.6.(a)Fitted Q distribution for D 0→K 0S K 0S candidates.The points with error bars are the data,the solid line represents the background and the dashed line shows the interpolationinto the Q signal region.(b)The Q distributions for D 0→K 0S K 0S(points)and K ∗(892)0,ρ(1700)+,εRS εW S·N W S D 0→Kππ0decay combined with an uncorrelated πS ,2)combinations from e +e −→u d ,and swhich corresponds to approximately eight times the integrated luminosity of the data sample. The Q–m(Kππ0)fit yields a WS signal of38±9events and a ratio N W S/N RS=0.0043+11−10. Projections of the data andfit results in slices through the signal region in each variable are shown in Fig.7.The statistical significance of this signal is found to be4.9standard deviations.The average efficiency ratio in Eq.(1)is determined using afit to the Dalitz plot variables m2(K+π−)and m2(K+π0)in the WS data.In thisfit,the amplitudes and phases are initial-ized to the RS values,and those corresponding to the K∗(892)+and K∗(892)0resonances arefloated relative to the dominantρ(770)−and other minor bining the square of thefitted amplitude function with a parameterization of the efficiency determined using a large non-resonant Monte Carlo sample,we measure an average efficiency ratio of 1.00±0.02(stat).Studies are under way to examine the extent and the significance of this surprising similarity between the RS and WS Dalitz plots.The dominant systematic errors in this analysis come from the uncertainty in the Monte Carlo background distributions(14%),uncertainty in the amplitudes and phases that are fixed in thefit(8%),and uncertainty in the background Dalitz plot distributions(3%).Several powerful checks of the Q–m(Kππ0)and Dalitz plotfits are performed in order to verify the validity of these results.Fits using specific background regions of the Q–m(Kππ0) plane test the sensitivity to the Monte Carlo background distributions.The WS Dalitz plot is alsofit using hypotheses which include one of the K∗(892)+,K∗(892)0,orρ(770)−resonances,in order to provide an upper limit on the error due to thisfit.Only the K∗(892)0 hypothesis leads to an efficiency ratio that differs significantly from one,but this hypothesis is strongly disfavored by the data.We measure the wrong sign rate to be(stat)±0.0007(syst)(preliminary).(2) R W S=0.0043+0.0011−0.0010This result is consistent with the CLEO II.V[16]and FOCUS[17]D0→Kπmeasurements.

Neutrino Superbeams and the Magic Baseline
a r X i v :h e p -e x /0303023v 1 17 M a r 2003Neutrino Superbeams and the Magic BaselineA.Asratyan ∗,G.V.Davidenko,A.G.Dolgolenko,V.S.Kaftanov,M.A.Kubantsev †,and V.VerebryusovInstitute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics,B.Cheremushkinskaya St.25,Moscow 117259,RussiaFebruary 7,2008AbstractWe examine the sensitivity to νµ→νe of a conceptual experiment witha neutrino superbeam incident on a Megaton-scale water Cherenkov detectorover a ”magic”baseline ∼7300km.With realistic beam intensity and ex-posure,the experiment may unambiguously probe sin 22θ13and the sign of∆m 231down to sin 22θ13∼10−3.Detecting the subdominant oscillation νµ→νe on the ”atmospheric”scale ofL/E has emerged as a priority for long-baseline accelerator experiments.This is be-cause the νµ→νe and ¯νµ→¯νe probabilities are sensitive to yet-unknown parametersof neutrino mixing:the mixing angle θ13,the sign of the ”atmospheric”mass-squared difference ∆m 231,and the CP -violating phase δCP [1].However,extracting the val-ues of these parameters from measured probabilities will encounter the problem of degenerate solutions [2].In particular,the asymmetry between P (νµ→νe )andP (¯νµ→¯νe )may arise from either the intrinsic CP violation and the matter effectthat is correlated with the sign of∆m231[3].The degeneracies can be resolved by comparing the data taken with a shorter and longer baselines[4].Selecting the lat-ter as the”magic”baseline L magic≃7300km will render this strategy particularlyeffective:for L=L magic,all∆m221-induced effects like CP violation are predicted to vanish up to second order of the small parameter∆m221/∆m231[2,5].Therefore, selecting L=L magic may allow to uniquely determine sin22θ13and the sign of∆m231, but notδCP which should be probed with a shorter baseline.In this paper,we discuss a conceptual experiment that involves a neutrino ”superbeam”incident on a water Cherenkov detector over a magic baseline of L= 7340km1.A water Cherenkov target is selected on the merit of good separation and spectrometry of electromagnetic showers[6],and is assumed to be a megaton-scale detector like UNO or Hyper-Kamiokande[7].In tuning the energy of the neutrino beam,one must take into account that the Eν-dependence of oscillation probability for L=7340km is strongly affected by Earth matter:for∆m231>0,the matter effect[3]shifts thefirst maximum of P(νµ→νe)down to Eν/∆m231≃2.5×103 GeV/eV2from the vacuum value of5.9×103GeV/eV2.Assuming∆m231=0.003 eV2,the oscillation maximum is at Eν≃7.5GeV which conveniently matches the peak ofνµflux in the”Medium-Energy”(or PH2me)beam of Fermilab’s Main Injector,as designed for the NuMI–MINOS program[8].Therefore,this is selected as the model beam in our simulation.We assume1.6×1021protons on neutrino target per year,as expected upon the planned upgrade of Main Injector’s intensity [9].In the absence of oscillations,the beam will produce some58νµCC(21¯νµCC) events per1kton×yr in the far detector with theν(¯ν)setting of the focusing system.At neutrino energies below1GeV,as in the proposed JHF–Kamioka experi-ment[10],νe appearance can be efficiently detected in a water Cherenkov apparatus by selecting1-ring e-like events of the reactionνe N→e−X that is dominated by quasielastics.(Here and in what follows,X denotes a system of hadrons other than theπ0,in which the momenta of all charged particles are below the Cherenkov threshold in water.)At substantially higher energies considered in this paper,using the1e signature ofνµ→νe is complicated by more background from theflavor-blind NC reactionνN→νπ0X:its cross section increases with Eν,and so doesthe fraction ofπ0mesons whoseγγdecays produce a single e-like ring in the wa-ter Cherenkov detector2.In[12],we have demonstrated thatνe appearance can be analyzed with less NC background by detecting the reactionsνe N→e−π+X and νe N→e−π0X that involve emission of a charged or neutral pion3.We proceed to briefly describe the selections of these CC reactions,as formulated in[12].The reactionνe N→e−π+X is selected by requiring two rings in the detector, of which one is e-like and the other is non-showering and has a large emission angle of θπ>500.This is referred to as the”eπsignature”.The selectionθπ>500is aimed at suppressing the NC reactionνp→νπ0p in which the momentum of thefinal proton is above the Cherenkov threshold4.The residual NC background is largely due to the reactionνN→νπ0π±X with two pions in thefinal state.TheνµCC background arises from the reactionνµN→µ−π0X in which the muon is emitted at a broad angle.TheντCC background arises from the dominant oscillationνµ→ντfollowed byντN→τ−π+X andτ−→e−ν¯ν.The reactionνe N→e−π0X is selected by requiring either three e-like rings of which twofit toπ0→γγ,or two e-like rings that would notfit to aπ0.This is referred to as the”multi-e signature”.The NC background arises from the re-actionνN→νπ0π0N in which at least one of the twoπ0mesons has not been reconstructed.Note that in the latter reaction the twoπ0mesons are emitted with comparable energies,whereas inνe N→e−π0X the e−tends to be the lead-ing particle.This suggests a selection based on the absolute value of asymmetry A=(E1−E2)/(E1+E2),where E1and E2are the energies of the two showers for the two-ring signature,and of the reconstructedπ0and the”odd”shower—for the three-ring signature.In this paper,we use the selection|A|>0.6.TheντCC background is largely due to electronic decays ofτleptons produced in association with aπ0.TheνµCC background originates from CC events with a muon below the Cherenkov threshold and twoπ0mesons in thefinal state,and is negligibly small.In the simulation,the matter effect is accounted for in the approximation of uniform matter density along the neutrino path( ρ =4.3g/cm3for L=7340km),which adequately reproduces the results of exact calculations for the actual density profile of the Earth[3].Relevant neutrino-mixing parameters are assigned the values consistent with the atmospheric and reactor data[14,15]:∆m231=±0.003eV2, sin22θ23=1,and sin22θ13=0.01(the latter value is ten times below the upper limit imposed in[15]).The simulation relies on the neutrino-event generator NEUGEN based on the Soudan-2Monte Carlo[16],that takes full account of exclusive channels like quasielastics and excitation of baryon resonances.The E vis distributions of1e-like,eπ-like,and multi-e-like events are illustrated in Fig.1,assuming∆m231>0and incident neutrinos.Here,E vis stands for the net energy of all e-like rings.Total background to theνµ→νe signal is seen to bethe greatest for1e-like events,and therefore we drop these from further analysis. Combined E vis distributions of eπ-like and multi-e-like events are shown in Fig.2 for either beam setting and either sign of∆m231.With equalνand¯νexposures of1 Mton×yr,the oscillation signal reaches some250events for∆m231>0and incident neutrinos,and some140events for∆m231<0and incident antineutrinos.The experimental strategy we adopt is to share the overall exposure between theνand¯νrunning so as to equalize the expected backgrounds under theνµ→νe and¯νµ→¯νe signals,and then analyze the difference between the E vis distributions for theνand¯νbeams.The motivation is that many systematic uncertainties on the background should cancel out in the difference5.Theνand¯νbackgrounds are approximately equalized by running1.7–1.8times longer in the¯νmode than in the νmode(see Fig.2).The difference between the E vis distributions for theνand ¯νbeams,assumingνand¯νexposures of1.0and1.8Mton×yr,is illustrated in Fig. 3.Depending on the sign of∆m231,this distribution shows either a bump or a dip at oscillation maximum with respect to the background that corresponds to sin22θ13=0.In order to estimate the significance of the oscillation signal in Fig.3,we vary the E vis interval so as to maximize the”figure of merit”F=(Sν−S¯ν)/√5This is particularly important here,as the large dip angle of the neutrino beam(∼350)will rule out the construction of a”near”water Cherenkov detector.4obtain F=+19.6for∆m231>0,and F=−20.8for∆m231<0.Recalling that these figures refer to sin22θ13=0.01,we estimate that at90%CL the sensitivity to either sin22θ13and the sign of∆m231will be maintained down to sin22θ13≃8×10−4.Still lower values of sin22θ13may perhaps be probed with a neutrino factory in combination with a magnetized iron–scintillator detector[17,5].Note however that the experimental scheme proposed in this paper is based on proven technology and involves a multi-purpose facility[7]rather than a dedicated detector.To summarize,we have examined the physics potential of an experiment with a neutrino superbeam that irradiates a Megaton-scale water Cherenkov detector over the”magic”baseline∼7300km.With realistic beam intensity and exposure, the experiment may probe sin22θ13and the sign of∆m231down to sin22θ13values below10−3.Thus obtained values of these parameters,that are not affected by degeneracies,can then be used as input for extractingδCP from the data collected with a shorter baseline as in the JHF–Kamioka experiment[10].References[1]S.M.Bilenky,C.Giunti,and W.Grimus,Phys.Rev D58,033001(1998);O.Yasuda,Acta Phys.Polon.B30,3089(1999);I.Mocioiu and

Feasibility of Beauty Baryon Polarization Measurement in Lambda0 Jpsi Decay Channel by Atla

The opposite dependence takes place if the quark becomes polarized due to the interac-tion with an”external”confiningfield,e.g.,due to the effect of spontaneous radiation polarization[13].The decrease of the polarization with increasing quark mass is expected also in the model of ref.[14].In QCD the polarization might be expected to vanish with the quark mass due tovector character of the quark-gluon coupling[10].It was shown however in Ref.[15] that the quark mass should be effectively replaced by the hadron mass M so that even the polarization of ordinary hadrons can be large.The polarization is predicted to be independent of energy and to vanish in the limit of both low and high hadron transverse momentum p t.The maximal polarization P max(x F)is reached at p t≈M and depends on the Feynman variable x F.Its magnitude(and in particular its mass dependence)is determined by two quark-gluon correlators which are not predicted by perturbative QCD.The polarization of charm baryons in hadronic reactions is still unmeasured due to the lack of sufficient statistics.Only some indications on a nonzero polarization were reported[16,17].For beauty physics the future experiments on LHC or HERA give an opportunity to obtain large statistical samples of beauty baryon(Λ0b,Ξ0b)decays intoΛ0J/ψ→pπ−l+l−,which is favorable mode to detect experimentally.Dedicated triggers for CP-violation effects in b-decays,like the high-p t one-muon trigger(LHC)[18] or the J/ψtrigger(HERA)[19]are selective also for this channel.Below we consider the possibility of polarization measurement of beauty baryonsΛ0b andΞ0b with the help of cascade decay angular distributions in the channelΛ0b(Ξ0b)→Λ0J/ψ→pπ−l+l−.1Polarization measurement method and an estimation of the statistical error.In the case of parity nonconserving beauty baryon(B b)decay the polarization causes the asymmetry of the distribution of the cosine of the angelθbetween the beauty baryon decay and production analyzers:w(cosθ)=1| p inc× p B b|,where p inc and p Bbare momenta of incident particle and B b in c.m.system.The asymmetry parameterαb characterizes parity nonconservation in a weak de-cay of B b and depends on the choice of the decay analyzer.In the two-body decay B b→Λ0J/ψit is natural to choose this analyzer oriented in the direction ofΛ0momentum pΛ0in the B b rest system.The considered decay can be described by4helicity ampli-tudes A(λ1,λ2)normalized to unity:a+=A(1/2,0),a−=A(−1/2,0),b+=A(−1/2,1) and b−=A(1/2,−1),|a+|2+|a−|2+|b+|2+|b−|2=1.(2) The difference ofΛ0and J/ψhelicitiesλ1-λ2is just a projection of B b spin onto the decay analyzer.The decay asymmetry parameterαb is expressed through these amplitudes in the formαb=|a+|2−|a−|2+|b+|2−|b−|2.(3) If P-parity in B b decay were conserved,then|a+|2=|a−|2,|b+|2=|b−|2so thatαb would be0.In the case of known and sufficiently nonzero value ofαb the beauty baryon polarization could be simply measured with the help of angular distribution(1)(see, e.g.,[20]).Due to lack of experimental information and rather uncertain theoretical estimates ofαb for the decayΛ0b→Λ0J/ψ[21]both the polarization andαb(or the decay amplitudes)should be determined simultaneously.This can be achieved with the2help of information onΛ0and J/ψdecays.Though it complicates the analysis,it shouldbe stressed that the measurement of the beauty baryon decay amplitudes could give valuable constrains on various theoretical models.Generally,such a measurement canbe done provided that at least one of the secondary decays is asymmetric and its decayasymmetry parameter is known[9].In our case it is the decayΛ0→pπ−with the asymmetry parameterαΛ=0.642.The angular distribution in the cascade decay B b→Λ0J/ψ→pπ−l+l−follows di-rectly from Eq.(6)of[9],taking into account that the only nonzero multipole parameters.It can be written in the formin the decay J/ψ→l+l−are T00=1and T20=110w(Ω,Ω1,Ω2)=1formula(4)integrated over the azimuthal anglesφ1,φ2would be in principle sufficient [9].In this case the number of free parameters is reduced to4(the phases don’t enter) and only a3-dimensionalfit is required.We will see,however,that the information on these angles may substantially increase the precision of the P b determination.To simplify the error analysis,we follow ref.[9]and consider here only the most unfavourable situation,when the parameters P2b,|a+|2−|a−|2and|b+|2−|b−|2are much smaller thanα2Λ.In this case the moments<F i>can be considered to be independent, having the diagonal error matrixW=13,19,115,145,16135,16135,2135,2135,245,245).(7)Here N is a number of B b events(assuming that the background can be neglected,see next section).The error matrix V of the vector a of the parameters a j,j=1,..7defined in (6)isV( a)=(A T W−1A)−1,(8) where the elements of the matrix A are A ij=d(f1i.f2i)V11=δ0N,(9)δ0=1α2Λ.[(2r0−1)2180+4r2015+(1−r0)(1+coshχ)10.(10)Hereδ0depends only on the relative contribution r0of the decay amplitudes with helicityλ2=0and on the relative phaseχ(Figs.1a,b).The maximal error on P b is δmax=4.7Nand it corresponds to the case when r0=1√√√,Σ∗b →Λ0b πand the electromagnetic decays Ξ0′b →Ξ0b γor Ξ0∗b →Ξ0b γ.The observable polarization P obs depends on the polarizations P B b of direct beauty baryons and their production fractions b B b (i.e.probabilities of the b-quark to hadronize to certain baryons B b ).In considered decays the beauty baryon Λ0b or Ξ0b retains −13)of the polarizationof a parent with spin 12+)(see Appendix).For P obs we get:P obs =b Λ0b P Λ0b + i (−13b Σ∗bi P Σ∗bi )3b Ξ0′b P Ξ0′b+1b Ξ0b +b Ξ0′b +b Ξ0∗b.(12)The summation goes over positive,negative and neutral Σb and Σ∗b .Assuming the polar-ization of the heavier states to be similar in magnitude to that of directly produced Λ0b or Ξ0b (P Λ0b or P Ξ0b )we may expect the observed polarization in an interval of (0.34−0.67)P Λ0bfor Λ0b and (0.69−0.84)P Ξ0b for Ξ0b.The polarization can be measured for Λ0b and Ξ0b baryons and for their antiparticles.Λ0b (Ξ0b )are unambigously distinquishable from their antiparticles by effective mass of pπ−system from Λ0→pπ−decay.The wrong assignment of antiproton and pion masses gives the kinematical reflection ofΞ0b is governed by b→dcc.HoweverΛ0fromΞ0b→Ξ0J/ψorΞ−b→Ξ−J/ψis produced in a weak hyperon decay,so this background can be efficiently reduced by the cut on the minimal distance d between J/ψandΛ0.A conservative cut d<1.5mm reduces this background by a factor≈0.05(Fig.3b).The background from B0d→J/ψK0when one ofπmesons is considered as a proton is negligible after the effective mass cuts on(pπ)and(pπJ/ψ)systems.Background from fake J/ψ′s,as it has been shown in[18],can be reduced to a low level by cuts on the distance between the primary vertex and the production point of the J/ψcandidate and the distance of closest approach between the two particles from the decay.These cuts also suppress the background from real J/ψ′s comming directly from hadronization.The number of producedΛ0b andΞ0b is calculated for the cross section of pp→busing the last segment of the hadron calorimeter by its minimum ionizing signature.-ForΛ0J/ψ→pπ−e+e−decay both electrons are required to have p e⊥>1GeV.The low threshold for electrons is possible,because of electron identification in the transition radiation tracker(TRT)[24].The events are required to contain one muon with a pµ⊥> 6GeV and|η|<1.6The second set of cuts corresponds to’offline’analysis cuts.The same cuts as for B0d→J/ψK0reconstruction[18]can be used(the only exception is the mass requirement forΛ0candidate,see the last of the next cuts):-The two charged hadrons fromΛ0decay are required to be within the tracking volume |η|<2.5,and transverse momenta of both to be greater than0.5GeV.-Λ0decay length in the transverse plane with respect to the beam axis was required to be greater than1cm and less than50cm.The upper limit ensures that the charged tracks fromΛ0decay start before the inner radius of TRT,and that there is a space point from the innermost layer of the outer silicon tracker.The lower limit reduces the combinatorial background from particles originating from the primary vertex.-The distance of closest approach between the two muon(electron)candidates forming the J/ψwas required to be less than320µm(450µm),giving an acceptance for signal of 0.94.-The proper time of theΛ0b decay,measured from the distance between the primary vertex and the production point of the J/ψin the transverse plane and the reconstructed p⊥ofΛ0b,was required to be greater than0.5ps.This cut is used to reduce the combina-torial background,giving the acceptance for signal events0.68.-The reconstructedΛ0and J/ψmasses were required to be within two standart de-viations of nominal values.The results on expectedΛ0b andΞ0b statistics and the errors of their polarization mea-surement are summarized in Table2.For both channels the statistics of reconstructed events at the luminosity104pb−1will be790000(220000)Λ0b and2600(720)Ξ0b,where the values are derived using UA1(CDF)results.For this statistics the maximal value of the statistical error on the polarization mea-surement,calculated from formulae(9)and(10),will be0.005(0.01)forΛ0b and0.09(0.17) forΞ0b.7ConclusionAt LHC luminosity104pb−1the beauty baryonsΛ0b andΞ0b polarizations can be measured with the help of angular distributions in the cascade decaysΛ0J/ψ→pπ−µ+µ−and Λ0J/ψ→pπ−e+e−with the statistical precision better than0.010forΛ0b and0.17for Ξ0b.AppendixThe polarization transfered toΛ0b,which was produced indirectly in strongΣb andΣ∗b decays,depends on the ratio∆| p inc× pΣb|,where p inc and pΣb are momenta of incident particle andΣb in c.m.system.Ω1=(θ1,φ1)are the polar and the azimuthal angles ofΛ0inΛ0b rest frame with the axes defined as z1↑↑ pΛ0b,y1↑↑ n× pΛ0b.After the transformation ofΩ1→Ω′1ofΛ0angles from the helicity frame x1,y1,z1to the canonical frame x,y,z with z↑↑ n and the integration over cosθandφ′1we get the distribution of the cosine of the angle between theΛ0momentum vector(Λ0b decay analyzer)and theΣb orΣ∗b production normal(which can be considered coinciding with theΛ0b production normal due to a small energy release in theΣb orΣ∗b decays):w(cosθ′1)∼1∓13(13(1References[1]K.Heller,Proceedings of the VII-th Int.Symp.on High Energy SpinPhysics,Protvino,1986vol.I,p.81.[2]L.Pondrom,Phys.Rep.122(19985)57.[3]B.Andersson et

In this work, we shall make an instructive analysis of the effects of CP T violation on CP violating asymmetries in neutral B -meson decays. Both time-dependent and time-integrated CP asymmetries are calculated to meet various possible measurements at e+ e− B factories. We suggest several ways for distinguishing CP T violation from direct CP violation in B decay amplitudes and indirect CP violation via interference between decay and mixing. We show that it is difficult to extract the CP T -violating information from the time-integrated ¯ 0 → ψKS and π + π − . measurements of neutral B decays to CP eigenstates such as B 0 /B

IntroductionGenerally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) offer some flexibility in preparing the financial statements and give the financial managers some freedom to select among accounting policies and alternatives. Earning management uses the flexibility in financial reporting to alter the financial results of the firm (Ortega and Grant, 2003).In other words, earnings management is manipulating the earning to achieve apredetermined target set by the management. It is a purposeful intervention in the external reporting process with the intent of obtaining some private gain (Schipper, 1989).Levit (1998) defines earning management as a gray area where the accounting is being perverted; where managers are cutting corners; and, where earnings reports reflect the desires of management rather than the underlying financial performance of the company.The popular press lists several instances of companies engaging in earnings management. Sensormatic Electronics, which stamped shipping dates and times on sold merchandise, stopped its clocks on the last day of a quarter until customer shipments reached its sales goal. Certain business units of Cendant Corporation inflated revenues nearly $500 million just prior to a merger; subsequently, Cendant restated revenues and agreed with the SEC to change revenue recognition practices. AOL restated earnings for $385 million in improperly deferred marketing expenses. In 1994, the Wall Street Journal detailed the many ways in which General Electric smoothed earnings, including the careful timing of capital gains and the use of restructuring charges and reserves, in response to the article, General Electric reportedly received calls from other corporations questioning why such common practices were “front-page” news.Earning management occurs when managers use judgment in financial reporting and in structuring transactions to alter financial reports to either mislead some stakeholders about the underlying economic performance of the company or to influence contractual outcomes that depend on reported accounting numbers (Healy and Whalen, 1999).Magrath and Weld (2002) indicate that abusive earnings management and fraudulent practices begins by engaging in earnings management schemes designed primarily to “smooth” earnings to meet internally or externally imposed earnings forecasts and analysts’ expectations.Even if earnings management does not explicitly violate accounting rules, it is an ethically questionable practice. An organization that manages its earnings sends amessage to its employees that bending the truth is an acceptable practice. Executives who partake of this practice risk creating an ethical climate in which other questionable activities may occur. A manager who asks the sales staff to help sales one day forfeits the moral authority to criticize questionable sales tactics another day.Earnings management can also become a very slippery slope, which relatively minor accounting gimmicks becoming more and more aggressive until they create material misstatements in the financial statements (Clikeman, 2003)The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued three staff accounting bulletins (SAB) to provide guidance on some accounting issues in order to prevent the inappropriate earnings management activities by public companies: SAB No. 99 “Materiality”, SAB No. 100 “Restructuring and Impairment Charges” and SAB No. 101 “Revenue Recognition”.Earnings management behavior may affect the quality of accounting earnings, which is defined by Schipper and Vincent (2003) as the extent to which the reported earnings faithfully represent Hichsian economic income, which is the amount that can be consumed (i.e. paid out as dividends) during a period, while leaving the firm equally well off at the beginning and the end of the period.Assessment of earning quality requires sometimes the separations of earnings into cash from operation and accruals, the more the earnings is closed to cash from operation, the higher earnings quality. As Penman (2001) states that the purpose of accounting quality analysis is to distinguish between the “hard” numbers resulting from cash flows and the “soft” numbers resulting from accrual accounting.The quality of earnings can be assessed by focusing on the earning persistence; high quality earnings are more persistent and useful in the process of decision making.Beneish and Vargus (2002) investigate whether insider trading is informative about earnings quality using earning persistence as a measure for the quality of earnings, they find that income-increasing accruals are significantly more persistent for firms with abnormal insider buying and significantly less persistent for firms with abnormal insider selling, relative to firms which there is no abnormal insider trading.Balsam et al. (2003) uses the level of discretionary accruals as a direct measurefor earning quality. The discretionary accruals model is based on a regression relationship between the change in total accruals as dependent variable and change in sales and change in the level of property, plant and equipment, change in cash flow from operations and change in firm size (total assets) as independent variables. If the regression coefficients in this model are significant that means that there is earning management in that firm and the earnings quality is low.This research presents an empirical study on using three different approaches of measuring the quality of earnings on different industry. The notion is; if there is a complete consistency among the three measures, a general assessment for the quality of earnings (high or low) can be reached and, if not, the quality of earnings is questionable and needs different other approaches for measurement and more investigations and analysis.The rest of the paper is divided into following sections: Earnings management incentives, Earnings management techniques, Model development, Sample and statistical results, and Conclusion.2. Earnings management incentives2.1 Meeting analysts’ expectationsIn general, analysts’ expectations and company predictions tend to address two high-profile components of financial performance: revenue and earnings from operations.The pressure to meet revenue expectations is particularly intense and may be the primary catalyst in leading managers to engage in earning management practices that result in questionable or fraudulent revenue recognition practices. Magrath and Weld (2002) indicate that improper revenue recognition practices were the cause of one-third of all voluntary or forced restatements of income filed with the SEC from 1977 to 2000.Ironically, it is often the companies themselves that create this pressure to meet the market’s earnings expec tations. It is common practice for companies to provide earnings estimates to analysts and investors. Management is often faced with the task of ensuring their targeted estimates are met.Several companies, including Coca-Cola Co., Intel Corp., and Gillette Co., have taken a contrary stance and no longer provide quarterly and annual earnings estimates to analysts. In doing so, these companies claim they have shifted their focus from meeting short-term earnings estimates to achieving their long-term strategies (Mckay and Brown, 2002).2.2 To avoid debt-covenant violations and minimize political costsSome firms have the incentive to avoid violating earnings-based debt covenants. If violated, the lender may be able to raise the interest rate on the debt or demand immediate repayment. Consequently, some firms may use earnings-management techniques to increase earnings to avoid such covenant violations. On the other hand, some other firms have the incentive to lower earnings in order to minimize political costs associated with being seen as too profitable. For example, if gasoline prices have been increasing significantly and oil companies are achieving record profit level, then there may be incentive for the government to intervene and enact an excess-profit tax or attempt to introduce price controls.2.3 To smooth earnings toward a long-term sustainable trendFor many years it has been believed that a firm should attempt to reduce the volatility in its earnings stream in order to maximize share price. Because a highly violate earning pattern indicates risk, therefore the stock will lose value compared to others with more stable earnings patterns. Consequently, firms have incentives to manage earnings to help achieve a smooth and growing earnings stream (Ortega and Grant, 2003).2.4 Meeting the bonus plan requirementsHealy (1985) provides the evidence that earnings are managed in the direction that is consistent with maximizing executives’ earnings-based bonus. When earnings will be below the minimum level required to earn a bonus, then earning are managed upward so that the minimum is achieved and a bonus is earned. Conversely, when earning will be above the maximum level at which no additional bonus is paid, then earnings are managed downward. The extra earnings that will not generate extra bonus this current period are saved to be used to earn a bonus in a future period.When earnings are between the minimum and the maximum levels, then earnings are managed upward in order to increase the bonus earned in the current period.2.5 Changing managementEarnings management usually occurs around the time of changing management, the CEO of a company with poor performance indicators will try to increase the reported earnings in order to prevent or postpone being fired. On the other hand, the new CEO will try shift part of the income to future years around the time when his/her performance will be evaluated and measured, and blame the low earning at the beginning of his contract on the acts of the previous CEO.3. Earnings management techniquesOne of the most common earnings management tools is reporting revenue before the seller has performed under the terms of a sales contract (SEC,SAB No. 101,1999).Another area of concern is where a company fails to comply with GAAP and inappropriately records restructuring charges and general reserves for future losses, reversing or relieving reserves in inappropriate periods, and recognizing or not recognizing an asset impairment charge in the appropriate period (SEC, SAB No. 100, 1999).Managers can influence reported expenses through assumptions and estimates such as the assumed rate of return on pension plan asset and the estimated useful lives of fixed assets, also they can influence reported earnings by controlling the timing of purchasing, deliveries, discretionary expenditures, and sale of assets.3.1 Big bath“Big Bath” charges are one-time restructuring charge. Current earnings will be decreased by overstating these one-time charges. By reversing the excessive reserve, future earnings will increase.Big bath charges are not always related to restructuring. In April 2001, Cisco Systems Inc. announced charges against earnings of almost $4 billion. The bulk of the charge, $2.5 billion, consisted of an inventory write down. Writing off more than a billion dollars from inventory now means more than a billion dollars of less cost in the future period. This an example of what ultra-conservative accounting in oneperiod makes possible in future periods.3.2 Abuse of materialityAnother area that might be used by accountants to manipulate the earning is the application of materiality principle in preparing the financial statements, this principle is very wide, flexible and has no specific range to determine where the item is material or not. SEC uses the interpretation ruled by the supreme court in identifying what is material; the supreme court has held that a fact is material if there is a substantial likelihood that the fact would have been viewed by reasonable investor as having significan tly altered the “total mix” of information made available (SEC, SAB No. 99, 1999).The SEC has also introduced some considerations for a quantitatively small misstatement of a financial statement item to be material:. whether the misstatement arises from an item capable of precise measurement or whether it arises from an estimate and, if so, the degree of imprecision inherent in the estimate;. whether the misstatement masks a change in earnings or other trends;.whether the misstatement hides a failure to meet analysts’ consensus expectations for the enterprise;. whether the misstatement changes a loss into income or vice versa;. whether the misstatement concerns a segment or other portion of the registrant’s business that has been identified as playing a significant role in the registrant’s operations or profitability; and. whether the misstatement involves concealment of an unlawful transaction.3.3 Cookie jar“Cookie jar” reserve –sometimes labeled rainy day reserve or contingency reserves, in periods of strong financial performance, cookie jar reserve enable to reduce earnings by overstating reserves, overstating expenses, and using one-time write-offs. In periods of weak financial performance, cookie jar reserves can be used to increase earnings by reversing accruals and reserves to reduce current period expenses (Kokoszka, 2003).The most famous example of use of cookie jar reserves is WorldCom Inc. In August 2002, an internal review revealed that the company had $2.5 billion reserves related to litigation, uncollectible and taxes. The company used most of them in a series of so-called reserve reversals in order to have higher earnings.Source: Khaled ElMoatasem Abdelghany,2005. “Measuring the quality of earnings”, Managerial Auditing Journal, vol.20, no.9, pp.1001 – 1015.译文:衡量盈利质量1、引言一般公认会计原则(GAAP)提供准备一定的灵活性的财务报表,给财务经理一定的自由空间进行选择会计政策和方案。

Abstract The phenomenological features of the mixing in the neutral pseudoscalar mesons K0 − K0 can be illustrated in the classical framework of mechanics and by means of electromagnetic coupled circuits. The time-reversed not-invariant processes and the related phenomenon of CP -nonconservation can be induced by dissipative effects which yield a not vanishing imaginary part for the relevant Hamiltonian. Thus, two coupled dissipative oscillators can resemble the peculiar asymmetries which are so common in the realm of high energy particle physics.

If the motion is resolved into two perpendicu-lar components, there will be a phase difference between those components.This experiment will investigate the relationship by measuring the oscillations with the help of two perpendicularly mounted dynamic force sensors. The amplitude of the components and their phase difference will then be evaluated. The phase shift between the oscillations will be shown directly by displaying the oscillations on a dual-channel oscilloscope.Three special cases shed light on the situation:a) If the pendulum swings along the line bisecting the two force sensors, the phase shift φ = 0°.b) If the pendulum swings along a line perpendicular to that bisecting the two force sensors, the phase shift φ = 180°.c) If the pendulum bob moves in a circle, the phase shift φ =oscillation directions of the string pendulum under in-vestigationLIST OF EQUIPMENT1 SW String Pendulum Set 1012854 (U61025)1 SW Stand Equipment Set 1012849 (U61022)1 SW Sensors Set @230 V 1012850 (U61023-230) or1 SW Sensors Set (@115 V 1012851 (U61023-115) 1 USB Oscilloscope 2x50 MHz 1017264 (U112491)SET-UP∙Screw the stand rods with both external and internal threads into the outer threaded sockets of the base plate. ∙Extend both rods by screwing rods with external thread only onto the ends of them.∙Attach double clamps near the top of both stand rods and turn them to point inwards so that the slots are vertical and facing one another.∙Attach both springs from the spring module to the lugs on the cross bar (angled side).∙Hang the large loop of string from the lug on the flat side.Fig. 3 Assembly of spring module∙Connect the springs and vector plate to the hook of a dynamic force sensor with a small loop of string and care-fully pull everything taut.∙Attach the force sensor with the screw tightened by hand. ∙Attach the second force sensor in the same way.Fig. 4 Attachment of dynamic force sensors to spring module∙Pull the string through the eyelet of the spring module (in the middle of the metal disc).∙Thread the end of the string through the two holes of the length adjustment slider.Fig. 5 Set up of string3B Scientific GmbH, Rudorffweg 8, 21031 Hamburg, Germany, ∙Clamp the cross bar into the slots of the two double clamps, suspend a weight from the end of the string and set up the height of the pendulum using the length ad-justment slider.Fig. 6 Attachment of cross bar in double clamp ∙ Connect the force sensors to the inputs for channels A and B of the MEC amplifier board.∙ Connect outputs A and B of the MEC control unit to channels CH1 and CH2 of the oscilloscope.EXPERIMENT PROCEDURE∙Set the oscilloscope time base time/div to 1 s, select a vertical deflection for channels CH1 and CH2 of 50 mV DC and set the trigger to “Edge” mode, “Normal” sweep, “Source CH1” and “Slope +”.∙Slightly deflect the string pendulum and allow it to oscil-late in a plane which bisects the alignment of the two force sensors (oscillation path a in Fig. 2).

CP Test in the W Pair Production via Photon Fusion at NLC

PhysicsUniversity of Melbourne Parkville,Victoria 3052AustraliaAbstract1.IntroductionThe W pair production at e+e−colliders is an impotant process,in which the inter-actions between the weak gauge bosons in the Standard Model can be studied.But,as the c.m.s.energy of a e+e−collider increases,the cross section for e++e−→W++W−√decreases as expected from gauge invariance.At NLC with2.CP Constraints and CP odd ObservablesWe consider the following process in the c.m.s.of the initial state:γ(p1)+γ(p2)→W+(k1)+W−(k2)p1+p2=0(2.1) and the amplitude for the process(2.1)is:T fi=εν1(p1)εν2(p2)ε∗µ1(k1)ε∗µ2(k2)Aν1ν2µ1µ2(p1,p2,k1,k2)(2.2)We assume that the polarization of the initial photons is not known.Then,a CP test in(2.1)is possible only if the polarizations of the W+or W−are observed.To obtain information about the polarizations we consider the leptonic decay of the W bosons.That means,we actually consider the process:γ(p1)+γ(p2)→W+(k1)+W−(k2)→ℓ+(q1)+ℓ−(q2)+neutrinos(2.3) For the decay process W+(k1)→ℓ+(q1)+νwith a moving W+a covariant decay matrix ρ+µν(k1,q1)can be defined and is normalized as:1(1−βˆk1·ˆq1)2ρ+µν(k1,q1)=(−gµν+k1µk1ν|k1|,ˆq1=q1k01(2.5)andΩ1is the solid angle of q1.At tree-level in the SM the decay matrixρ+µν(k1,q1)takes the form:ρ+µν(k1,q1)=34Aν1ν2µ1µ2(p1,p2,k1,k2)A∗ν1ν2µ′1µ′2(p1,p2,k1)·ρ+µ1µ′1(k1,q1)ρ−µ2µ′2(k2,q2)(2.7)If CP invariance holds,the following relation holds for RR(p1,k1,q1,q2)=R(p1,k1,−q2,−q1).(2.8)The expectaction value of any observable O,which is a function of p1,k1,q1and q2 can be obtained:<O>=1x1x2β4π(k01)−2 dΩ14π(k01)−2 dΩ2M WO2=(ˆp·ˆq+)2−(ˆp·ˆq−)2O3=ˆp·(ˆq+−ˆq−)ˆp·(ˆq+׈q−)(2.10)withˆq+=q+|q−|(2.11)and the vectorˆp is the direction of motion of the electron or positron.Because of the Bose symmetry of the two photon initial state the expectation value of any observable whichis odd inˆp,is zero.With these observables one can also define the corresponding CP asymmetries:N(O i>0)−N(O i<0)A i=introduces CP violation.This type of diagram is shown in Fig.1,where the loop is a fermionic loop.CP violation is caused by the couplings between¯fiγ5f and neutral Higgs fields,and the heaviest fermion is dominant.In the following we will take only the top quark into account and employ the notation used in[10]and[11].In this notation CP violation due to the neutral Higgs exchange is paramerized with a3×3real othogonal matrix d,the nonzero offdiagonal matrix elements d3j and d j3(j=1,2)indicating CP violation.The couplings involved in Fig.1are:L=e m t3e¯tγµtAµ+eM W3α2ˆs2z2(arcsin(z))2,for z≤112+i z2−1z2−1)2,for z>1(3.3)Here M H stands for the mass ofφ1and D H is its propagator which is discussed further in Sect.4.The CP violating part of the quantity R defined in(2.7)is then obtained through the interference between T A and the amplitude for(2.1)at the tree-level from the standard model.In(3.2)the coupling parameters ctgβand d11d13are unknown.From the upper bound of the electric dipole moment of the neutron one can not obtain enough information to constrain d11d13.From the fact that the d is a3×3real othogonal matrix an upper boundcan be derived:d11d13≤1,for M H<2M W(4.1)ˆs−M2HIn this case,the absorbtive(dispersive)part of the amplitude T A in(3.2)corresponds to Im I(z)(Re I(z)).For M H>2M W,the absorptive part in the D H does lead to significant effects in our observables.We parametrize the propagator in Breit–Wigner approximation in term ofthe total decay widthΓH:(ˆs−M2H)−iΓH M HD H(ˆs,M H)=ˆs−M2H−iπδ(ˆs−M2H)(4.3) We used the both expressions for the D H in our numerical calculations of our CP odd observables.By varyingΓH from0to40GeV wefind that the expression in(4.3)is a good approximation for our observables.However,for M H>2m tΓH can be very large because of the large mass M H and the new decay channel.For such large values ofΓH,for example,forΓH>100GeV,some numerical results of our observables can be changed in order of50%compared with them by smallΓH.Keeping this in mind,we present only our results calculated with the smallΓH and in this case the expectation value of the CP odd observables or the CP asymmetries are proportional to the product of d11d31and ctgβ.We take the photon distribution function given in[1],where we assume that the laser energy is1.26eV and the e−γconversion factor is one.To simulate experimental cuts,we select for measuring the CP violation effect only these events,in which the lepton energy E+(−)is larger than10GeV and the angle of the outgoing leptons with respect to the√electron or positron beam direction is not smaller ingFor M H=200GeV:A1=−2.82×10−4d11d31ctgβ,<O1>=−3.1×10−5d11d31ctgβ(4.5)A3=2.35×10−4d11d31ctgβ,<O3>=1.05×10−4d11d31ctgβFor M

smaller than the results for<O1>and A1.To determine the sensitivity of our CP odd observables we also calculated the variances of them and the cross section for the process(2.3)at ing the standard model at tree level and taking the leptonic branching ratio(≈33%)of the W decay into account,we have under the conditions mentioned above:σ=4pb,<O21>=0.57,<O23>=0.096(4.8) Note that the variance for an asymmetry is identically1.Assumming the luminosity per year at NLC to be10fb,the number of the available events is about4·104.We obtain then the statistical errors for our observables:δA1=δA3= N event=0.5%,δO1= N event=0.4%,δO3= N event=0.15%(4.9)CP violation is detectable only if the<O i>or A i(i=1,2,3)are at least larger than their statistical error.Taking<O1>at M H=350GeV as an example,the product d11d31ctgβshould be larger than5.4.To summarize:in this work we studied the possibility of detecting CP violation in γγ→W+W−at NLC,our CP odd observables and the corresponding CP asymmetriesare constructed with the directly measured energies and momenta of the leptons from the W decay.For the observables we propose one can detect CP violation without requiring complete knowledge about the c.m.s.of the initial photons and about the rest frame of the W bosons.Therefore,our observables are easy to measure.The prediction of the CP violation effects is worked out for two Higgs doublet models.The effect of the Higgs width is studied and it is significant.If the Higgs sector of these models is not CP invariant,then CP violation can be measured with our CP odd observables in some parameter region.Acknowledgment:We thank Dr.X.G.He and Dr.S.Tovey for useful discussions.References[1]I.F.Ginzburg et al.,Nucl.Instrum.Methods.205(1983)47[2]S.Y.Choi and

Effects of Large CP Phases on the Proton Lifetime in Supersymmetric Unification
a r X i v :h e p -p h /0004098v 2 2 S e p 2000Effects of Large CP Phases on the Proton Lifetime inSupersymmetric UnificationTarek Ibrahim a,b and Pran Nath ba.Department of Physics,Faculty of Science,University of Alexandria,Alexandria,Egyptb.Department of Physics,Northeastern University,Boston,MA 02115-5000,USA Abstract The effects of large CP violating phases arising from the soft SUSY breaking parameters on the proton lifetime are investigated in supersymmetric grand uni-fied models.It is found that the CP violating phases can reduce as well as enhance the proton lifetime depending on the part of the parameter space one is in.Mod-ifications of the proton lifetime by as much as a factor of 2due to the effects of the CP violating phases are seen.The largest effects arise for the lightest sparticle spectrum in the dressing loop integrals and the effects decrease with the increasing scale of the sparticle masses.An analysis of the uncertainties in the determination of the proton life time due to uncertainties in the quark masses and in the otherinput data is also given.These results are of import in the precision predictions of the proton lifetime in supersymmetric unification both in GUT and in string models when the soft SUSY breaking parameters are complex.1IntroductionIt is well known that there are new sources of CP violation in supersymmetrictheories which arise from the soft SUSY breaking sector of the theory.The normalsize of such phases is O(1)and an order of magnitude estimate shows that suchlarge phases would lead to a conflict with the current experimental limits on theelectron[1]and on the neutron electric dipole moment[2].The conventional wayssuggested to avoid this conflict is either to assume that the phases are small[3,4]or that the SUSY spectrum is heavy[5].However,recently it was demonstrated[6]that this need not to be the case and indeed there could be consistency withexperiment even with large CP violating phases and a light spectrum due to aninternal cancellation mechanism among the various contributions to the EDMs.The above possibility has led to a considerable further activity[7,8,9]and theeffects of large CP phases under the cancellation mechanism have been investigatedin dark matter with the EDM constraints[10],in gµ−2[11]and in other low energy physics phenomena[12].In this paper we investigate the effects of large CP violating phases on nucleonstability in supersymmetric grand unification with baryon and lepton number vio-lating dimensionfive operators[13,14,15].The main result of this analysis is thatthe dressing loop integrals that enter in the supersymmetric proton decay analysisare modified due to the effect of the large CP violating phases.The CP effectson the proton life time are most easily exhibited by considering Rτdefined inEq.(22)which is the ratio of the p lifetime with phases and without phases.Rτislargely independent of the GUT structure which cancels out in the ratio.Since thedressing loop integrals enter in the proton decay lifetime in both GUT and stringmodels which contain the baryon and the lepton number violating dimensionfiveoperators,the phenomena of CP violating effects on the proton lifetime shouldhold for a wide range of models both of GUT and of string variety[16].However,for concreteness we will considerfirst the simplest SU(5)supersymmetric grandunified model,and then consider a non-minimal extension.As discussed abovesimilar analyses should hold for a wider class of models and so what we do belowshould serve as an illustration of the general idea of the effect of large CP phaseson the proton lifetime.The outline of the paper is as follows:In Sec.2we give a theoretical analysis ofthe effects of CP violating phases on proton decay in the minimal supersymmetricSU(5)model for specificity.In Sec.3we discuss the numerical effects of the CPviolating phases on Rτunder the EDM constraints.A non-minimal extension is also discussed and an analysis of the uncertainties in the predictions of the proton life time due to uncertainties in the quark masses,inβp and in the KM matrix elements is given.Conclusions are given in Sec.4.2Theoretical analysis of CP violating phases on proton decay in supersymmetric GUTsIn the minimal supergravity unified model(mSUGRA)[17]the soft SUSY breaking can be parameterized by m0,m1is the universal gaugino mass,A0is the universal trilinear coupling all 2taken at the GUT scale,and tanβ=<H2>/<H1>is the ratio of the Higgs VEVs where H2gives mass to the up quark and H1gives mass to the down quark and the lepton.In addition,the effective theory below the GUT scale contains the Higgs mixing parameterµwhich enters in the superpotential in the termµH1H2. In the presence of CP violation onefinds that the minimal model contains two independent CP violating phases which can be taken to beθµ,which is the phase which is the phase of A0.ofµandαAFor more general situations when one allows for non-universalities,the soft SUSY breaking sector of the theory brings in more CP violating phases.Thus unlike the case of mSUGRA here the U(1)×SU(2)×SU(3)gaugino masses˜m i (i=1,2,3)can have arbitrary phases,i.e.,˜m i=|˜m i|e iξi(i=1,2,3)(1) While in the universal case afield redefinition can eliminate the common phase of the gaugino masses,here onefinds that the difference of the gaugino phases does persist in the low energy theory and in fact is found to be a useful tool in arranging for the cancellation mechansim to work for the satisfaction of the EDMs.In the following analysis we carry out an analysis of the proton decay with the most general allowed set of CP violating phases.The definition of the mass matrices for charginos,neutralinos and for squarks and sleptons have been explicitly exhibited in Ref.[18]and we refer the reader to this paper for details.The focus of the present work is to analyze the effects of CP violating phases on p decay and to estimate its size.For the sake of concreteness we begin with a discussion of the simplest grand unification model,i.e.,the minimal SU(5)model.However,the techniquediscussed here to include the CP effects on p decay can be used to anlayse the CP violating effects for any supersymmetric unified model with baryon and lepton number violating dimensionfive operators.This class includes string models.As mentioned above we consider for concreteness and simplicity the minimal SU(5)model whose matter interactions are given by[13,14,15]1W Y=−ǫabc(P f u1V)ij(f d2)kl(˜u Lbi˜d Lcj(¯e c Lk(V u L)al−¯νc k d Lal)+...)+H.c.(3) ML5R=−1whereL ui=δL Iδ˜u†iR(6)Here L I is the sum of fermion-sfermion-gluino,fermion-sfermion-chargino and fermion-sfermion-neutralino interactions and∆L

the squarkflavors u i1and u i2and∆ui1and∆ui2are the corresponding propagators,and D ui is the diagonalizingmatrix for the˜u i squarks,i.e.,D†ui M2˜uiD ui=diag(M2˜ui1,M2˜ui2)(9)We note the special arrangement of the complex quantities and their complexconjugates in Eqs.7and8.Specifically we note that while in the absence of CPphases∆LR ui=∆RL ui this is not the case in the presence of CP phases and in generalone has∆LR ui=∆RL ui as is seen from Eqs.(8).L ui and R ui defined by Eq.(6)receive contributions from the chargino,the neutralino and the gluino exchanges.Following the standard procedure[13,14,15]one obtains the effective dimensionsix operators for the baryon and the lepton number violating interaction arisingfrom dressing of the dimensionfive operators.From this effective interaction oneobtains the proton lifetime decay widths for various modes using the effectiveLagrangian methods.We limit ourselves here to the dominant decay mode p→¯νi K+.Including the CP violating effects the decay width for this process is givenbyΓ(p→¯νi K+)=β2p m Nm2N)2|Aνi K|2A2L(A L S)2|(1+m N(D+3F)A LSY R1δi3)+2m BD(1+Y tk3−(e−iξ3Y˜g−Y˜Z)δi2+A R SwhereAνi K=(sin2βM2W)−1α22P2m c m d i

uγcL|p> where UγL is the proton wavefunction.Theoretical determinations ofβp lie in the range0.003−0.03GeV3.Perhaps the more reliable estimate is from lattice gauge calculations which gives[19]βp=(5.6±0.5)×10−3GeV3.Aside from the explicit CP phases via the exponential factor e−iξ3in Eq.(10), CP effects enter dominantly in F’s which are the dressing loop integrals.For the chargino exchange in the presence of CP violating phases one hasF(˜u i;˜d j;˜W)=−32π2iA=1,2[∆L uai S∗A1−∆LR uaiǫu i S∗A2]˜GA[∆L d j U∗A1−∆LR d jǫd j U∗A2](12)Here˜G A(A=1,2)are the propagators for the chargino mass eigenstates and the matrices U and S enter in the biunitary transformations to diagonlize the chargino mass matrix M C such thatU∗M C S−1=diag(˜mχ+1,˜mχ+2)(13)In Eq.(10)the quantities Y tk i are the corrections due to the chargino exchanges involving third generation squarks,Y˜g is the contribution from the gluino exchange, Y˜Z is the contribution from the neutralino exchange,and Y R i are the contributions from the dressing of the RRRR dimension5operators.The gluino exchange contribution Y˜g is given byY˜g=4P2α3mc V21V†21V22H(˜u;˜d;˜g)−H(˜d;˜d;˜g)P2m t m d

effects are largely governed by the nature of the low energy physics,e.g.,the sparticle mass spectrum and the couplings of the sparticles with matter.Thus we expect similar size CP violating effects in models with different GUT structures but with similar size sparticle spectrumTo discuss the CP violating effects on the proton lifetime it is useful to consider the ratio Rτ(p→¯ν+K+)defined byRτ(p→¯ν+K+)=τ(p→¯ν+K+)/τ0(p→¯ν+K+)(22)Hereτ(p→¯ν+K+)is the proton lifetime with CP violating phases andτ0(p→¯ν+K+)is the lifetime without CP phases.This ratio is largly model independent. Thus most of the model dependent features such as the nature of the GUT or the string model would be contained mostly in the front factors such as the Higgs triplet mass,the quark masses,the A S and A L suppression factors all of which cancel out in the ratio.Similarly the quantityβp which is poorly known cancels out in the ratio as do the KM matrix elements.We analyze Rτunder the constraints that CP violating phases obey the exper-imental limits on the electron and the neutron EDMs.For the electron and for the neutron the current experimental limits are[1,2]|d e|<4.3×10−27ecm,|d n|<6.3×10−26ecm(23) We are interested in the effects of large phases on the proton lifetime and for these to satisfy the EMD constraints we use the cancellation mechanism.In Fig.2 we presentfive cases where for different inputs the electron EDM is plotted as a function ofθµ.An analysis of the neutron EDM for the same input is given in Fig.3.Onefinds the cancellation mechanism produces several regions where the EDM constraints are satisfied.In Fig.4we give a plot of Rτfor the same set of inputs as in Figs.2and3.The analysis shows that Rτis a sensitive function of the CP phaseθµand variations of a factor of around2can occur.We also note that both a suppression as well as an enhancement of the proton lifetime can occur as a consequence of the CP violating effects.Interestingly the largest CP effects on Rτoccur here at the points of maximum cancellation in the EDMs as may be seen by a comparison of Figs.2,3and4.The variations in Rτdue to the phases arise because of constructive and destructive interference between the exchange contributions of chargino1(χ+1)and chargino2(χ+2)(see Fig.1).We give an illustration of thisphenomenon in Table1.The analysis of Table1exhibits the cancellation in the imaginary part of the amplitude for the decay process p→¯ν+K+from chargino 1and chargino2,and this cancellation leads to an enhancement in the p lifetime ratio for this case.It is possible to promote each of the cancellation points in Figs.2and3into a trajectory in the m0−m1λm12→mass(m b)we use m b=4.74±0.14GeV[27].The contributions from thefirst generation quarks are small and are not the sources of any significant uncertainty in the p lifetime.The errors in the KM matrix elements are of a subleading order for the¯νK mode but are still significant enough to be included.We use the results of Ref.[27]for the allowed ranges of the KM matrix elements.Forβp we use the result of the lattice gauge analysis of Ref.[19].In Fig.6we exhibit the error corridor for the proton lifetime for the case(1)of Fig.2with M2/aΛ=0.01,M2=M G. Onefinds that given the current errors in the input data the predictions for the proton lifetime has an uncertainty of about a factor of2(11.5−0.5)on either side of the mean.A similar analysis holds for the cases(2-5)of Fig.2.We note that the uncertainties in the predictions of the proton lifetime is of the same order as the size of the CP violating effects.It is for this reason that we choose to exhibit the results of our analysis in Figs.4and5in terms of the ratio Rτsince the effects of the uncertainties cancel in the ratio.The analysis also shows that an improvement in the determination of the quark masses and ofβp is essential for a more precise prediction of the proton lifetime in supersymmetric unification of the type discussed here.The reduction of the error in the prediction of p lifetime will also help to define the CP effects on proton decay when such a decay is experimentally observed.In summary the CP violating effects on the proton lifetime are relatively large if the sparticle spectrum entering the dressing loop integrals is relatively light and the CP violating effects get progressively smaller as the scale of the sparticle spectrum entering the dressing loops gets progressively larger.The current experimental limits on the sparticle masses allow for a relatively light sparticle spectrum,i.e., significantly smaller than1TeV.This means that there exists the possibility of significant CP violating effects on the proton lifetime.However,the minimal SU(5)model does not support the scenario with a light spectrum and thus the CP violating effects for the case of the minimal model are small.However,for the non-minimal case proton stability can occur even for a relatively light spectrum due to suppression from a more complicated Higgs triplet sector.In these types of models CP violating effects can be significant.4ConclusionIn this paper we have investigated the effects of CP violating phases arising from the soft SUSY breaking sector of the theory on the proton decay amplitudes.It isfound that the CP effects can increase or decrease the proton decay rates and that the size of their effect depends sensitively on the region of the parameter space one is in.Effects as large as a factor of2are seen to arise from CP violating phases in the part of the parameter space investigated and even larger effects in the full parameter space may occur.It is found that the CP violating effects in the min-imal SU(5)model are typically small since a relatively heavy sparticle spectrum is needed to stabilize the proton in this case and a heavy spectrum suppresses the CP effects in the dressing loop integral.However,significantly larger CP effects on the p lifetime are possible in non-minimal models with more than one pair of Higgs triplets since in these models the proton can be stabilized with a relatively light sparticle spectrum.We also investigated the uncertainties in the p lifetime predictions due to uncertainties in the quark masses,inβp and in the KM matrix elements.Wefind that these uncertainties modify the proton lifetime by a factor of2around the mean value.The observations arrived at in this analysis would be applicable to a wide class of models,including GUT models and string models with dimensionfive baryon and lepton number violating operatorsNote Added:After the paper was submitted for publication an improved limit on p→¯νµK+mode ofτ(p→¯νµK+)>1.9×1033yr has been reported[28].The new limit does not affect the conclusions arrived at in this paper.

Violating Cooperative Principle to Create Humor
Violating Cooperative Principle to Create Humor Abstract: Humor is almost everywhere. We can find it in our conversation. Humor is a kind of language art and it can be created by many reasons. This essay will analyze humor from a knowledge of pragmatics--cooperative principle (CP), a theory formulated by American linguist H. P. Grice. This essay will show how the humorous effects achieved due to the breaking of certain maxims of the cooperative principle. It also provides a lot of examples to show how to achieve humorous effects by applying Grice’s cooperative principle. The creation of humor and violation of CP have close relationship. Violating CP in the surface may create humor. A better understanding about humor will be achieved under an analysis of CP. As a linguistic phenomenon, humor has its own charm. It can relieve interpersonal relationships and make others feel comfortable.Key words: Humor; cooperative principle; analysis; violation1 IntroductionPragmatics is a newly arising discipline. It was built and developed in the 1970s. And it has been developing rapidly. By the early 80s, pragmatics had been generally accepted as one of the basic branches of linguistics. It studies the use of language in human communication as determined by the conditions of society.(Mey, 2001:6) It studies the way how humans use their language. In humans’communication, most of humors are created in discourse. The creating of humor cannot exist without the internal rules of language.The discourse may create different meanings in different contexts. People may say something which is not relevant with the other due to some understandable reasons. In this way, the speaker may create humor.Humor is often created from discourse. It is a quality of being amusing or comic. Humor is part of our life, but we are not familiar with the psychological process. And the Cooperative Principle makes important contributions to analyze humor. This essay will analyze English humor from one of the basic pragmatic theory—Cooperative Principles(CP). We may learn the process of creating humor and appreciate humor better.2 Relative conceptionsAmerican linguist Herbert Paul Grice proposed the Cooperative Principle which makes great contributions to analyze humor. When communicating, people have something to tell each other. Communication, further more, requires people to cooperate; the ‘bare facts’of conversation come alive only in a mutually accepted,pragmatically determined context. Cooperation has itself been elevated to the status of an independent principle in the works of the late British\American philosopher H. P. Grice (1975). In order to explain further the cooperative principle, Grice borrowed from the German philosopher Immanuel Kant four categories: quantity, quality, relation and manner. That is, the CP is specified from these four aspects. And the content of each category is known as maxim.2.1 The Maxim of QuantityThe category of Quantity, concerned with the quantity of information to be provided, has two maxims:(1)Makeyour contribution as information as isrequired (for the current purpose of the exchange).(2)Do not make your contribution more informative than is required.Grice has some doubts as to the necessity of the second maxim. First, to be overinformative may not be a transgression of the CP but merely a waste of time. Second, there is a later maxim concerning relevance, which ensures that no excess of information will be given to lead to any side effects or cause any confusion. (Jiang Wangqi, 2001)2.2 The Maxim of QualityIn the category of Quality these is a super maxim:Try to make your contribution one that is true.Specifically, there are two specific maxims:(1)Do not say what you believe to be false.(2)Do not say that for which you lack adequate evidence.Grice suggests that the observance of the Quality maxims is a matter of greater urgency than is the observance of others.2.3 The Maxim of RelationThe category of Relation has a single maxim“Be relevant”.Though the maxim itself is terse, its formulation conceals a number of problems that exercise a good deal: what different kinds and focuses of relevance there may be,how the meaning in the talk exchange, how to allow for the fact that subjects of conversation are legitimately changed, and so on.2.4 The Maxim of MannerThe category of Manner, different from others, do not relate “to what is said but, rather to HOW what is said is to be said”. There is also a super maxim “Be perspicuous” and the specific maxims are:(1)Avoid obscurity of expression.(2)Avoid ambiguity.(3)Be brief (avoid unnecessary prolixity).(4)Be orderly. (Grice: 1975)When we speak we generally have something like the CP and its maxims in our mind to guide us, though sub-consciously, or even unconsciously. We will try to say things which are true, relevant, as well as informative enough, and in a clear manner. Hearers will also try to interpret what is said to them in this way. If there are obvious signs that one, or more, of the maxims is not followed, one will try to find out the reason. Humor may be created in the process of finding.3 Violating the Maxims to Create Humor3.1 Violating the Maxim of QuantityAccording to the Maxim of Quantity, people should give enough information to the listener. But in real conversation, the speaker often does not give enough information.(1) One woman was sitting on a bench and a dog was lying near to the bench. A man came to the woman and talked to her:Man: Does your dog bite?Woman: No.(The man reached down to feel the dog. The dog bites the man’s hand.)Man: Ouch! Hey! You said your dog doesn’t bite.Woman: He doesn’t. But that’s not my dog. (黄奕,2006:57)According to the Maxim of Quantity, the information the speaker offered should not be less than the overall information. And the listener can believe the offered information only if it is enough for him to understand what the speaker said. In the conversation, that man thought the information the woman offered should be true and enough. So he petted the dog. We always take the things that have happened smoothly for granted. The man in the conversation naturally thought the dog near the bench was the woman’s. He asked the question and the woman answered no. Although what the woman said was true, but she did not tell the man the dog is not hers. The answer was against the Maxim of Quantity. However, if the speaker gives more information, humor can also be created.4.4 License to violate the Maxim of Manner(6) Two people are talking about the theatre last night.A: You went to the theatre last night: what play did you see?B: Well, I watched a number of people stand on the stage in Elizabethan costumes uttering a series of sentence which corresponded closely with the script of Twelfth Night.B’s answer was lengthy and tedious. He violated the maxim of manner deliberately to make his comment on that theatre understood. At this time, A wanted to know why B can violate the maxim and also make himself understood. B successfully made A know his real comments on the theatre in a humorous way.5 ConclusionHumor is part of our life. It may be created by many elements. Humor can make language lively and make people happy. This essay analyzes the process of humor from the cooperative principle. We may understand how humor is created after we have analyzed it according to the CP. CP is one of the important principles in pragmatics, and humor results form from violation of CP. This article analyzes the humor caused by violation of CP from a pragmatic perspective. We know that the discourse which obeys the principle outside may not really gain a good conversational result. And the discourse which violates the principle may be cooperative in real conversation. People may violate the principle for sake of strengthening the relationship between others, thinking of others’feelings, and making humor. We can not effect our daily conversation because of obeying CP simply. We may create different conversation results using different ways of talking. The conversation will be a success as long as people can understand its real meaning.Bibliography:[1]Gillian Brown & George Yule.

Measuring the CP-Violating Phase by a Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment with Hyper-Kamiokande ∗

We study the sensitivity of a long-base-line (LBL) experiment with neutrino beams from the High Intensity Proton Accelerator (HIPA) [2], and ˇ a proposed 1Mt water-Cerenkov detector, HyperKamiokande (HK) [3], 295km away from the HIPA, to the CP phase (δMNS ) of the three-flavor lepton mixing (Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata (MNS)) matrix [4]. Neutrino oscillations depend on the three mixing angles, and two mass-squared differences. Two of the mixing angles and the mass-squared differences are constrained by solar and atmospheric neutrino observations. For the third mixing angle only an upper bound, sin2 2θCHOOZ < 0.1, is obtained from the reactor neutrino experiments. We examine a combination of the νµ narrowband beam (NBB) at two different energies, pπ =2, 3GeV, and the ν µ NBB at pπ = 2GeV. By allocating 1Mton·year each for the two νµ beams and 4Mton·years for the ν µ beam, we can efficiently measure the νµ → νe and ν µ → ν e transition probabilities, as well as the νµ and ν µ survival probabilities. CP violation in the lepton sector can be established at the 4σ (3σ) level if the MSW [5] largemixing-angle scenario of the solar-neutrino deficit is realized, |δMNS | or |δMNS − 180◦ | > 30◦ , and sin2 2θCHOOZ > 0.03 (0.01). The phase δMNS is more difficult to constrain by this experiment if there is little CP violation, δMNS ∼ 0◦ or 180◦ . The two cases can only be distinguished at the 1σ level if sin2 2θCHOOZ > 0.01. If we remove the NBB(3GeV) ∼ data from the fit, they cannot be distinguished even at the 1σ level. This two-fold ambiguity between δMNS and 180◦ − δMNS is found in general for all δMNS . This two-fold ambiguity between δMNS and 180◦ − δMNS is found in general for all δMNS , because the difference in the predictions can be al.hep-ph/0208223. [2] http://jkj.tokai.jaeri.go.jp/.
