CPT, T, and Lorentz violation in neutral-meson oscillations - art. no. 076001

Tests of CPT and Lorentz symmetry using neutral-meson oscillations are stud ied within a formalism that allows for indirect CPT and T violation of arbi trary size and is independent of phase conventions. The analysis is particu larly appropriate for studies of CPT and T violation in oscillations of the heavy neutral mesons D, B-d, and B-s The general Lorentz- and CPT-breaking standard-model extension is used to derive an expression for the parameter for CPT violation. It varies in a proscribed way with the magnitude and or ientation of the meson momentum and consequently also with sidereal time. D ecay probabilities are presented for both uncorrelated and correlated meson s, and some implications for experiments are discussed.
