Abstract

Updated standard-model expectations and new-physics scenarios for CP asymmetries in hyperon decays are revisited, with potential testability in ongoing and future experiments.

AI-generated summary

The study of CP violation in hyperon transitions has a long history. In the early 2000s the HyperCP experiment made a major effort to seek CP-odd signals in the decay sequence Xi^-toLambda pi^- and Lambdato ppi^-, which motivated more searches. Most recently the BESIII and LHCb Collaborations have acquired or improved the upper bounds on CP violation in a variety of hyperon nonleptonic processes, including Sigma^+to npi^+ and Sigma^+to ppi^0. These measurements have not reached the standard-model level yet, but have stimulated a renewed interest in CP-violating new physics in strange-quark decay beyond what is constrained by the parameters varepsilon and varepsilon^prime from the kaon sector. In this paper, after updating the standard-model expectations for CP-odd observables in the modes Sigma^pmto Npi, we revisit new-physics scenarios that could enhance the corresponding quantities in Lambdato Npi and XitoLambdapi and apply them to the Sigma^pm modes. We find that the CP asymmetries in the latter can be significantly increased over the standard-model expectations, at levels which may be tested in the ongoing BESIII experiment and in future endeavors such as PANDA and the Super Tau Charm Facility.
