Findings

Gravity induces CP violation in meson oscillations.

Predicted violation parameters match experimental data.

Mechanism suggests cosmological implications for baryon asymmetry.

Abstract

Experiments devoted to charge parity (CP) violation are normally interpreted by adjusting the elements of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix to the measured violation parameters. However, the physical origin of these violations remains an open issue. To resolve this issue, the impact of Earth's gravity on meson oscillations is analysed. The effect of gravity is to couple flavour oscillations to quark zitterbewegung oscillations, and this coupling induces a superposition of CP eigenstates. The three types of CP violation effects result from this gravity-induced mixing. The three associated violation parameters are predicted in agreement with experimental data. The amplitude of the violation is linear with respect to gravity, so this new mechanism allows us to envisage cosmological evolutions that provide the observed baryonic asymmetry of the universe.
