On the consistency between CP violation in the K vs. Bd systems within the Standard Model
Abstract
In the K and Bd systems, indirect CP violation is quantified by the parameters epsilonK and sin 2beta respectively. Within the Standard Model, the uniqueness of the CP violating phase implies that the measurement of either between epsilonK and sin 2beta permits to predict the other. Since both these parameters are very well measured, this turns into a powerful test of consistency. I discuss the status of this test, especially in the light of recent advances on the epsilonK formula.
