Contribution

It provides a comprehensive analysis of all possible asymmetries based on triple products and discusses their applications in measuring symmetry violations.

Findings

Full set of asymmetries identified for decay analysis

Applications to charm mesons and baryons explored

Implications for understanding symmetry breaking discussed

Abstract

The discrete symmetries C, P and CP are known to be violated by the weak interaction. It is possible to probe the breaking of these symmetries using asymmetries constructed from triple products based on the decay of some particle M to a four body final state. These proceedings discuss the full set of possible asymmetries that can be probed and applications to various measurement scenarios, focusing mostly on charm mesons and baryons. The ramifications of what can be learned from such measurements are also discussed.
