I have the next decay:
[tex]B^0 \rightarrow D^+ e^- \nu_e[/tex]
The question is:
employ CP symmetry on the particles in this process, what reaction would you get?
and what would happen if CP symmetry breaks?
Now if I employ CP symmetry I get:
[tex]B^0 \rightarrow D^- e^+ \bar{\nu_e}[/tex]
But in my notebook it's written that weak interaction violates CP symmetry, and this process is obviously weak.
Now that I read Wikipedia's entry I read the CP violation was found in Kaons and that it's small, so I guess CP doesn't get violated here, only C symmetry and P symmetry.
Now if CP symmetry gets violated what will I see is that the last process will never get detected in experiments cause CP get violated in the first process.
Is my reasoning correct or flawed?
Thanks in advance.
