Log of second group meeting, October 3, 2008

Topic of discussion was CP violation in neutral flavoured mesons.

In the present scenario CP violation is one of the best ways of discovering physics beyond the Standard Model. The most important experiments searching for this effect involve neutral flavoured mesons. We discussed the way it shows up in the physics of these mesons mainly kaons and B mesons. The main stress was given to the B-meson systems as they show a direct CP violating effect compared to the small effect in K mesons.
