Abstract

Abstract: CP-Violation (CPV) was discovered in 1964 in the weak decays of neutral Kaons. This Symmetry Breaking is understood in the Standard Model as a consequence of its Particle Content, codified in the 3×3 Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa Unitary Mixing Matrix. The measured CPV asymmetries for Kaons and B's are well described by this Mechanism, but the current level of experimental accuracy and theoretical uncertainties leaves room for additional sources of CPV, as demanded by Baryogenesis. A direct Time-Reversal-Violation (TRV) Effect was clearly observed in 2012 in the time evolution of neutral B-mesons. The conceptual basis to bypass the irreversibility of decays, and prepare in the B-Factories both the Reference and the T-reverse transitions, is provided by the quantum properties of Entanglement and the Decay as a Filtering Measurement. Flavour and CP eigenstate decay channels allow a separate independent measurement of CP, T and CPT asymmetries. Prospects for extending such a programmeto any pair of B-decays and for Kaonsin DAPHNE are discussed. The interest in measuring CPTV asymmetries in transitions is emphasized. This includes the search for CPT-breaking as well as the case of not having a well-defined CPT operator.
