ABSTRACT
CP conservation and violation in neutral kaon decay are considered from a first principles’ theory, recently published as
Scalar Strong Interaction Hadron Theory”. The arbitrary phase angle relating K0 and 0
K
in current phenomenology
is identified to be related to the product of the relative energy to the relative time between the s and d quarks in these
kaons. The argument of the CP violating parameter
is predicted to be 45˚ without employing measured data. The 0
S
K
decay rate is twice the 00
K
L

masss difference, in near agreement with data, and both are proportional to the square
of the relative energy 29.44 eV. Any pion from
L
K
decay will also have a mass shift of 1.28 105 eV. The present
first principles’ theory is consistent with CP conservation. To achieve CP violation, the relative time cannot extend to
both  and  but is bounded in at least one direction. The values of these bounds lie outside the present theory and it
is unknown how they can be brought forth. 00
BB mixing is also considered and the relative energy is 663.66 eV.
Keywords: CP Violation; Kaon Decay; Relative Energy; Relative Time; Scalar Strong Interaction
1. Introduction
CP vioaltion in neutral kaon decay has been treated phe-
nomenologically [1-3] but its origin remains a mystery
ever since its discovery nearly 50 years ago. This prob-
lem is now treated employing the recently developed first
principles’ theory [4] in which this mysterious origin is
shown to be connected to the relative energy and relative
time between the s and d quarks in the kaons.
Section 2 reproduces some phenomenological results.
In Section 3, the arbitrary phase angle relating 0
K
to K0
in Section 2 is identified to be connected to the relative
energy and time among the quarks in the kaon. When
applied to S, the phase of the CP violating pa-
rameter
in Section 2 is predicted by means of the de-
generacies of SU(3) gauge fields to known SU(2) ones.
The decay rate depends upon the relative energy. In Sec-
tion 4, the CP violating L is found to be for-
bidden unless the relative time is bounded between cer-
tain finite values. The mass shift of
02πK
0
K2π
0
L
K
depends upon
the relative energy 29.44 eV and is half the S
decay rate. Any pion from
02πK
0
L
K
decay will also have a
mass shift of 1.28 105 eV. In Section 5, the semilep-
tonic decays of kaons are treated and CP violation also
requires that the relative time be bounded in one direc-
tion. Section 6 summarizes the roles of relative energy
and time and considers the possible origins of CP viola-
tion. B0-B0 mixing is similarly treated in Section 7.
2. Phenomenology [2,3]
The decays S

K
, L, 3 have been considered
using the time-dependent Schrödinger equation without
specifying the Hamiltonian in connection with CP non-
conservation [2]. The starting point is the ansatz [2

3. Relative Energy and Time and
S
K0 2, 3
The references in form of (x, y, z) or §x, y, z below refer
to those in [4], mostly Chapter 7. This chapter has earlier
appeared in a more general form as the first article in
another volume [5].
In the ansatz (2.1), the nature of the phase angle is
not specified. Here, it is naturally identified to be related
to the product of the relative energy
0 and the relative
time x0 in (A7), as will be specified in (6.1) ff below. In
the absence of guage field, (7.1.9) reverts to (A4) which
led to (A8). With the association of with
0x0 above,
however,
0 0 and (A9) has to be relaxed for the pre-
sent application.
In the absence of weak interaction, g 0 in (7.1.5)
and K0 and 0
K
are complex conjugate of each other in
(7.2.19) and are stable, physical states with the same
mass given by (A10). The phase angle in (2.1), hence
also the relative energy
0, drops out. Turning on the
weak interaction igWU or i
U
Wg, K0 and 0
K
are no
longer physical states and and
0
0 become small
quatitites of the same first order as igWU. The physical
states are now S

K
and 0
L
K
shown in (2.2) or (7.2.18)
incorporating the phase factor 0

0
exp i
x
according to
(A7). Therefore,
0 in (A8) cannot be dropped but is of
the same order as the igWU term.
Consider one of the two first order terms in (7.1.9a)
for 00
π
K
U
W of (7.3.27b). Let the first operator in
(7.1.9a) be of first order g included in (7.1.4-5) and the
second operator be of zeroth order given by the last of
(3.1.4). By (A5),

which by (7.2.18) becomes . Using the wave

These two relations are related to the two phases in
(2.4) but without using the empirical data (2.3); they are
the consequences of the necessary degeneracy (A15).
There is no conflict between (3.3) and (3.4) because they
cancel out upon summing the two first order terms in
(7.1.9a), as is reflected in (A8) which contains no linear
0 term.
Follow now Section 7.3.2-4 and obtain the first order
decay amplitude fi S. In the source term
(7.3.5a), the first term in the braces is replaced by (3.2)
multiplied by a final state wave function :

This result agrees with the requirement of CP invariance

do not follow from the internal index com-
binations in (7.3.18-19) and hence do not appear in
(7.3.26-29). These decays are therefore forbidden, in
agreement with the selection rule S = Q [2]. This rule
is a consequence of the present theory and has been veri-
fied by that x of (2.6a) is consistent with 0 [1].
The amplitudes (7.3.27a, 29) assume the null relative
energy condition (A9). The rates of these decays have
not been evaluated because the pions are relativistic and
their wave functions unknown; the coarse nonrelativistic
(3.5.23), (7.7.13) used for L is insufficient here
and in other K
2 decays. Nevertheless, the forms of
(7.3.27a) and the first of (7.3.29) are the same so that the

6. On the Origin of CP Violation in Neutral
Kaon Decay
From the semileptonic decays in Section 5, the phe-
nomenological phase angle in (2.1) by (2.4-5) and (5.7)
becomes

 (6.1)
Here, is identified with the product of a relative en-
ergy and a relative time, both finite. For the CP violating
L in Section 4, the phase angle
00
L in (4.8)
via (4.3) associated with
L
K
is real. This corresponds to
that the angle in (2.1) is also real for this case and is
related to
00
L, also a product of a finite relative energy
and a finite relative time.
Equations (5.4-5) show that it is the imaginary part of
the relative energy
0 in (3.3) and (5.2) that causes (5.6)
to deviate from unity and thereby causes CP violation in
the semileptonic decays, which takes place when the
relative time x0 between the s and d quarks does not ex-
tend to both  and  but is finite at one end.
This does not conflict with that in
(7.4.6b) via (7.3.16) to generate the MW mass. There, the
actions in (7.4.3-4) involve stationary K0 and
0
x
0
K
and
not their decay so that (A9) can and has been applied in
that stage. The phase factor
0
x here reduces to
1 there which allows for
 , similar to that
00 0 in (5.3) ff renders it to be . 0
02πK
0
For the CP violating L, the relative time x0
also does not extend to both  and  but is finite at
both ends as is shown in (4.3) with
L given in
(4.8).
Summarizingly, CP conservation is related to the
phase angle
0x0. The relative energy
0 gives rise to the
mass shifts for
L
K
in (4.4) and pions in (4.7) and to that
the large S decay rate in (3.9) is twice the
02πK0
L
K
mass shift in (4.5). These results are derived within the
frame work of the present theory.
The relative energy
0 is necessary but not sufficient
to account for the CP violating S in Section 4
and the semileptonic decays in Section 5. To achieve
these CP violations, bounds need be put on the values of
the relative time x0 so that it cannot run from
02πK
to
.
The values of these bounds, given in (4.8) and (5.8), re-
spectively, lie outside the present theory.
It not known how such relative time bounds can be
brought forth. One observation is that the relative time
I
000
II
x
xx must be shorter than twice the laboratory
time I
000
II
2
X
xx in (3.1.3a). Now this X0 is limited
by the finite decay time so that the relative time is also
limited. Another one is that the relative time 0
y has
been set to the finite 2/dm in the last line of §7.7.2. Fur-
ther, how the kaons are produced may also enter here. In
any case, the CP violations here are not related to the CP
violating phase in neutrino oscillation phenomenology [1
Neutrino Mixing].
In this connection, it may be pointed out that the
boundary condition of the wave functions
and
in
(A1), hence also in the action (7.1.8), at 0
x,
like
0 and
in (3.6-7), (4.3) and (5.3), has been assumed
to be the same as the corresponding ones (fixed) in the
laboratory time 0
x
, as was pointed out in Section 6.1.1.
The validity of this assumption has not been fully inves-
tigated and it is not clear whether this may impact upon
the above relative time considerations.
7.
00
BB Mixing
The 00
BB
mixing differs fundamentally from the
00
K
K
mixing considered above. In Table 1, the u, d
and s quarks have about the same mass. This leads to that
mpr in (2.4.1) differ by 12%, as was mentioned
above (2.4.5). Therefore, the kaons and pions are mem-
bers of an approximate SU(3) octet. In the limit of SU(3)
symmetry, the u, d and s quark masses coalesce.

and K0 belong to the same octet providing basis vectors

K
in (7.2.18) are also vectors in this
octet space on par with the pion vectors and represent
physical mesons suitable for describing some weak de-
cays.
The c and b qaurks are much heavier and the D and B
mesons cannot meaningfully be accomodated in SU(4, 5)
multiplets together with the kaons and pions, as was in-
dicated above (2.4.5). In the limit of SU(3) symmetry, B0
belongs to the triplet (B+, B0, S) providing basis vec-
tors of the first funda mental representation of SU(3). But
0
B
0
B belongs to the antitriplet (B
, 0
B, 0
BS) providing
basis vectors of the second fundamental representation of
SU(3) transforming differently [6]. Thus, B0 and 0
B
cannot be transformed into each other and linear combi-
nations of them of the type (7.2.18) do not have definite
transformation properties and hence are not members of
any SU(n) multiplet. They remain as physical mesons in
two different triplets. The D meson triplets behave
analogously.
As in Section 3, the null relative energy condition (A9)
is also relaxed for B0 and 0
B. The complex
0 in (3.3) is
due to the degeneration (A15) involving the complex
neutral gauge boson WU. Data [1] however show that the
semileptonic decays of B0 and 0
B proceed dominantly
via charged gauge bosons W charged leptons; the
branching ratio of


small. Therefore,
0 =
00 = real as in (4.2) for KL.
Therefore, a mass shift
B
E equivalent to E0L in
(4.4) also holds for B0. For 0
B, the lower sign in (A10)
is chosen. The laboratory time X0 dependent part of the
B0 and 0
B wave functions is

E = 3.337 104 eV [1]. With the B0 mass

value is 22.5 times greater than 29.44 eV in (4.6) for that
between the s and d quarks in K0. Note that the ratio be-
tween the B0 and K0 masses is 10.6, nearly half the above
ratio.
The mass difference 3.337 104 eV is somewhat less
than the B0 decay rate 0
B
= 4.43 104 eV [1], similar
to that the 00
L
S
K
K-
0
mass difference is about half of the
S

decay rate in (2.3). These mass differences, apart
from their values, are outcomes of the present theory,
irrespective CP violation. Analogously, CP violation in
the 00
BB- system is also attributed to relative energy
and time between the b and d quarks. Such a treatment
however requires the knowledge of the amplitudes of 5
specific decays [3] and is beyond the scope of this paper.
In passing, it may be noted that while mixings of d, s
and b quarks take place, the c and u quarks with charge
2e/3 do not seem to mix, as 00
DD
0
S
mixing is absent
in [1].
8. Conclusions
In the standard model, quarks in meson decay are treated
[3] largely as leptons are in QED. The effects of quark
confinement in the relative space and of the relative time
between the quarks are practically lost.
In the paper, the relative energy between the quarks
gives rise to the mass shift between 0
L
K
and
K
,
equalling half the S
0
K
decay rate, and 00
BB mixing.
Hadron spectra stem from the relative space [4] and the
relative time generates the W and Z boson masses [4]
without Higgs. Here, CP violation is achieved by limiting
the relative time to certain regions.
