quantum field theory - Difference between "C-violation without CP-violation" and "C-violation with CP -violation"


Consider two possible decay channels of a massive particle as XA+B and XC+D with decay rates r and 1r respectively. Let the decay rates of its antiparticle into channels ˉXˉA+ˉB and ˉXˉC+ˉD are respectively ˉr and 1ˉr.




For a theory with C-violation but CP-conservation, although the decay angular distribution for X and ˉX would be different the decay rates integrated over all angles will be equal i.e., ΓX=ΓˉX. But for a theory with both C and CP-violation would ensure different absolute rates in the two channels i.e., ΓXΓˉX.



How can I understand/prove this statement? For the reference, see this.

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
