Class Objectives
/Class Outline |
The flavor physics of quarks has greatly contributed to the establishment of the Standard Model of particle physics and has developed through a process where theory and experiment mutually influence each other. However, it tends not to be covered in much depth in standard field theory lectures. This lecture aims to bridge that gap and deepen the understanding of flavor physics. Specifically, we will discuss the Kobayashi-Maskawa mechanism, which plays an important role in the Standard Model, and then explain the physics of meson oscillations and decays. Furthermore, we will explain the classification of observables that represent the important concept of CP asymmetry. Next, we will introduce the effective field theory used in flavor physics calculations. In the latter half of the lecture, we will deepen our understanding of what we have learned so far through specific topics such as the physics of K mesons and B mesons, and the violation of lepton universality and the B anomaly. |
