The search for new physics through precision measurements of the CKM angle gamma
There is a strong conviction that the Standard Model of particle physics is only a low energy approximation to a higher energy theory containing new fundamental particles. For example, it is not possible to explain the large asymmetry between the properties of matter and anti-matter that must exist to create the universe within we live, with the Standard Model that can only accommodate asymmetries orders of magnitude smaller. The theoretical framework that describes these asymmetries is the Cabibbo-Maskawa-Kobayashi (CKM) matrix. Through study the of the differences between the decay of certain types of hadrons containing a beauty quark, and the corresponding anti-particle decays, this…
