Charge Conjugation and Parity Violations as a Signature for Black Hole Formation or Other New Physics in Hadron Collisions
Michael J. Longo
Abstract
I point out that there have been essentially no tests of discrete symmetries, such as baryon number, charge conjugation (C), parity (P), strangeness, isospin, etc., in high energy, high pT hadron collisions. If, for example, black hole formation (BHF) occurs, we might expect large violations of C, P, >... I propose new tests of C and P that can be adapted to a variety of new physics scenarios by selecting events with appropriate topologies. Large effects, such as ~10% longitudinal polarizations of outgoing particles, might be expected in events involving BHF. These tests may provide more sensitive searches for new physics at existing colliders.
