This event is part of the HET Seminar Series.

Abstract:

I discuss a new type of CP violating observable that arises in three body decays that are dominated by an intermediate resonance.  If two interfering diagrams exist with different orderings of the final state particles, the required CP even phase arises due to the different virtualities of the resonance in each of the two diagrams.  Using momentum asymmetries, I demonstrate that CP violation can be seen in this way at the LHC and future colliders.
