Stringent limits on C PT- and Lorentz-invariance violation from Bs0 meson decays
Abstract
Tests of fundamental symmetries, such as C PT and Lorentz invariance, provide sensitive probes of physics beyond the standard quantum-field-theory framework. Possible violations of these symmetries are investigated through interference effects in decays of Bs0 mesons to Ds-π+ states. The analysis uses proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector in 2015-2018 at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6 fb−1. The results are interpreted within the Standard Model Extension framework, yielding sensitivities to the Lorentz-violating parameter Δaμ at the cal O(10−14) GeV level. Without assuming Lorentz-invariance violation, the C PT-violating parameter z in the Bs0 system is measured to be ℛe(z) = 0.018 ± 0.016 ± 0.003 and ℐm(z) = 0.003 ± 0.004 ± 0.002, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. These results represent the most precise constraints on C PT violation in the Bs0 system.

AB - Tests of fundamental symmetries, such as C PT and Lorentz invariance, provide sensitive probes of physics beyond the standard quantum-field-theory framework. Possible violations of these symmetries are investigated through interference effects in decays of B_s^0 mesons to D_s^-π^+ states. The analysis uses proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector in 2015-2018 at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6 fb^−1. The results are interpreted within the Standard Model Extension framework, yielding sensitivities to the Lorentz-violating parameter Δa_μ at the cal O(10^−14) GeV level. Without assuming Lorentz-invariance violation, the C PT-violating parameter z in the B_s^0 system is measured to be ℛe(z) = 0.018 ± 0.016 ± 0.003 and ℐm(z) = 0.003 ± 0.004 ± 0.002, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. These results represent the most precise constraints on C PT violation in the B_s^0 system.
