Hi,
I have a question regarding the CP operator on pion systems.
1) CP [itex] \mid \pi^0 \rangle [/itex]
2) CP [itex] \mid \pi^+ \pi^- \rangle [/itex]
3) CP [itex] \mid \pi^0 \pi^0 \rangle [/itex]
I'd like to solve this in the above ket notation and apply the operators as is on the different parts of the represented wave function. My solution for 2) is:
CP [itex] \mid \pi^+ \pi^- \rangle [/itex]
[itex] = C \mid \pi^- \pi^+ \rangle [/itex] (switch pions physically in e.g. x-coordinate)
[itex] = \mid \pi^+ \pi^- \rangle [/itex] (invert charges)
Thus CP is +1 for [itex] \mid \pi^+ \pi^- \rangle [/itex]. This does not seem to work for 1). Note I have somehow lost the notion of [itex] (-)^l [/itex] that should be present somewhere :S
Any help is appreciated.
