C and CP violation in effective field theories

Abstract: The quest for new sources of the simultaneous violation of

C

and

C P

symmetry was popular in the 1960s and has since been mostly neglected for more than half a century. In this work we revisit fundamental quark-level operators that break

C

and

C P

up to and including mass dimension 8 for flavor-conserving transitions, relying on the complete operator sets of the so-called Standard Model effective field theory and the low-energy effective field theory. With the formalism of chiral perturbation theory, we match these quark operators to light-meson physics, derive

C

- and

C P

-odd Lagrangians for several processes in the

e t a

,

e t a^{'}

, and pion sectors, and furthermore, as a proof of principle, give estimates for the respective observables in explicit dependence of the underlying high-energy scale for new physics.
