macro scale cpt symmetry

[falkor1995]

Hi,

 

I am a long time lurker and I first want to thank this community for how much i have learned.  One thing that has truly fascinated me in modern physics is the work with cpt symmetry.   mind you i am an engineer that does this as a hobby so please forgive me if i make any mistakes.     I would like to be able to design a macroscale experiment to test these applications, more specifically i would like to test macroscale quantum effects.      I would first just like your opinions on how best you think I should go down this road to test this experiment.   another test I would like to incorporate is soliton waves in water.      from what I have read it appears that this soliton waveform in water follows the same waveform of a photon, but I am unsure how to test whether or not all soliton waveforms are the same regardless of field.    thank you for your time

I don’t know of any macro scale tests; CP-violation experiments are exceedingly difficult, and AFAIK seen only at the atomic or particle scale.

I don't know of any either and I keep track of CPT tests on a regular basis.

i am sorry for not responding sooner.   life gets in the way sometimes.   please forgive another question but I would like to be able to learn more about this.    pseudoscience can become so commonplace when you start getting at this level and you both have done an excellent job at cutting through nonsense.    I was curious if you had any reading material you can suggest to help improve my knowledge on that transition from microscale to macroscale cpt knowledge.    I would like to know more about the significance of using a cp violation vs ct or pt.  thank you for your time

Sure I will dig up some literature though to be honest any decent introductory particle physics textbook will contain those details. Currently at work so this afternoon will list the recommended textbooks and whatever good literature I have or can find for you.

[Mordred]

I forgot to ask if your familiar with QFT mathematics or the gauge groups with regards to the standard model. I have no idea what skill level your at so if what I post is beyond you feel free to let me know and I will try to find simpler treatments. As I find half decent articles outside of textbooks in regards to textbooks one of the better ones covering CPT I found is

Gauge theories in particle physics volume 1 by Ian J.R. Aitchison and Anthony J.G. Hey.

I am still looking for good outside textbook literature.

I may end up just posting the essentials here myself using my copy of the above book but I will see what else I can dig up.

Have you looked at the Manchester Physics series ?  (now pub by Wiley)

Martin and Shaw's  'Particle Physics' covers this material and they keep the book up to date quite well.

You guys are amazing thank you.  I really appreciate your time

For QFT mathematics I am not familiar I apologize on that end of it.  The highest I have math wise is algebraic geometry.   Thank you for your patience

No I hadn't looked at that one yet thanks it looks well done another search parameter to assist is charge conjugation as charge conjugation ties into CPT.

These two references contain much of the essential mathematics involved in particle physics so will be helpful though not directly on CPT it will assist in understanding the essential mathematics.

No problem it does take a bit to learn QFT formalism one of the simpler treatments to learn from is

Quantum Field theory Demystified. The author does a decent job of keeping QFT simplified

Here is a couple of  low level math overview of CPT. It's in essence a quick descriptive of each

Thank you so much.   Hopefully one day I can be a quarter smart as you guys!

Well if you can't take formal training your next best option is the textbooks. Trying to learn any physics topics through searching the internet will lead you down too many garden paths.

Feel free to ask any questions on the articles above and I and others will be happy to help you understand it.

Unfortunately I have to work currently to support my mom and siblings so I plan to go back one day but I don’t want to give up my dream of getting a phd in physics.   Stupid dream but still a dream.   Thank you and I appreciate the continued support I promise not to abuse it
