Published Jan 30, 2009• 5 citations
Publisher

Abstract

This note addresses the issue of checking Bell's inequalities in elementary particle physics. A new expression for the Bell's inequality is proposed in terms of experimentally measurable angular observables. As an example, the degree of violation of the Bell's inequality in the decays [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] is studied.

Testing Bell’s Inequality using Charmonium Decays

Shion Chen, S. Komamiya

This paper discusses the feasibility of testing Bell's inequality with the charmonium decays |$\eta _{\mathrm {c}} \rightarrow \Lambda \overline {\Lambda }$|⁠, |$\chi _{{\mathrm {c}}0} \rightarrow \Lambda \overline {\Lambda }$| and |${\mathrm {J}}/\psi \rightarrow \Lambda \overline {\Lambda }$|⁠. We develop a new formulation of Bell's inequality represented with particles' orientations, which can be measured straightforwardly in experiment, and seek to ascertain if it is violated in these decay processes. It is shown that the ηc channel and the |$\chi _{c0}$| channel maximally violate Bell's inequality, while the |${\mathrm {J}}/\psi $| channel gives no inconsistency with it. Simulations dealing with experimental aspects are also implemented. The expected statistical fluctuations and achievable significance are estimated as a function of sample size.

Bell inequality is violated in charmonium decays

Marco E. Fabbrichesi, Roberto Floreanini B, Emidio Gabrielli A +1 more

The experimental data on the helicity amplitudes of charmonium decays allow us to measure entanglement in final state spin correlations and test possible violations of the Bell inequality. We find that the Bell inequality is violated with a significance of 5 σ or more in the decays η c , χ c 0 , J / ψ → Λ + Λ ¯ , J / ψ → Ξ − + Ξ ¯ + , Ξ 0 + Ξ ¯ 0 , Σ − + Σ ¯ + , Σ 0 + Σ ¯ 0 , ψ ( 3686 ) → Ξ − + Ξ ¯ + , Σ − + Σ ¯ + , Σ 0 + Σ ¯

A note on the violation of Bell's inequality

Thomas Schürmann

With Bell's inequalities one has a formal expression to show how essentially all local theories of natural phenomena that are formulated within the framework of realism may be tested using a simple experimental arrangement. For the case of entangled pairs of spin-1/2 particles we propose an alternative measurement setup which is consistent to the necessary assumptions corresponding to the derivation of the Bell inequalities. We find that the Bell inequalities are never violated with respect to our suggested measurement process.

New observables for testing Bell inequalities in W boson pair production

Qi Bi, Qing-Hong Cao, Kun Cheng +1 more

We show that testing Bell inequalities in W± pair systems by measuring their angular correlation suffers from the ambiguity in kinetical reconstruction of the dilepton decay mode. We further propose a new set of Bell observables based on the measurement of the linear polarization of the W bosons that can be used in the semileptonic decay mode of W± pair, and we analyze the prospects of testing the violation of Bell inequalities at e+e− colliders.
