Abstract:
Very rare kaon decay (K à pnn) searches have been carried out in decades both in charged and neutral kaon system. Not only it may shed light on CP violation in quark sector, but also contributes to Flavor Changing Neutral Current in Standard Model or New Physics. In this talk I will discuss why and how we study such very rare processes in experiments, but also present interesting recent new results.
Brief Bio:
Prof. Yee Bob Hsiung received his Bachelor degree at NTU Physics Department and Ph.D. in Physics at Columbia University. The most important and devoted scientific contributions of Prof. Yee Bob Hsiung are discovery of “Direct CP Violation” in neutral K-meson decays, as well as discovery and precise measurement of the 3rd mixing angle (smallest one) in the neutrino oscillation. He was the co-spokesperson of KTeV experiment at Fermilab before he returned to NTU in 2002. He received the Outstanding Scholar Awards from the Foundation for the Advancement of Outstanding Scholarship (2003-2008), and he served as the Department Chair and the President of PSROC (now TPS) the Physics Society in Taiwan. In 2014 he received the 17th National Professorship of ROC in Taiwan from Ministry of Education. Also Sharing the 2016 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics at US. Recently he received NTU Chair Professorship from 2016.8.1 to 2022.7.31.
