Charge Conjugation [1]
C parity is conserved with strong and electromagnetic interaction :
but not with the weak interaction (will be discussed later). We will discuss only C-parity conserved cases.
26
The charge conjugation መ𝐶 is the operation which replaces all particles by their anti-particles in the same state.
The charged particles cannot be 𝑪eigenstate.
For particles 𝒂 (= 𝜋+, 𝐾+, 𝑝) which have distinctive anti-particles, wavefunctions are changed with መ𝐶operation as :
For particles 𝜶 (= 𝜋0, g,…) which do not have distinctive anti-particles are eigenstates of the መ𝐶 operation as a single particle :
𝑪|𝜶 ۧ𝝍 = 𝑪𝜶|𝜶 ۧ𝝍
In this case one can get a quantum number C, called “C parity”.
𝑪| ۧ𝒂𝝍 = | ۧഥ𝒂𝝍
መ𝐶, 𝐻 = 0
መ𝐶2 = 1, therefore 𝐶𝜶 = ±1
𝑪 ۧ𝒆+ = ۧ𝒆− ≠ | ۧ𝒆+
𝑪 ۧ𝝅+ = ۧ𝝅− ≠ | ۧ𝝅+
Clearly the charge conjugation operation satisfies: 𝑪| ۧ𝜸 = 𝑪𝜸|𝜶𝜸 ۧ𝝍
| ۧ𝜸 ≡ | ൿ𝜶𝜸𝝍𝜸
In case of multi-particle system, the C-parity is a multiplicativenumber:
If the multi-particle system are symmetric with the Ĉ operation, the system is an eigenstate of the Ĉ operation and has definite C-parity, for example:

C−parity of mulri−particle system is a multiplicative number.Therefore, 𝐶 | ۧ𝛾𝛾 = (−1)(−1)| ۧ𝛾𝛾 . ∴ 𝐶𝜋0 = +1
This agrees with 𝐶 ൿ𝑓 ҧ𝑓; 𝐽, 𝐿, 𝑆 = −1 𝐿+𝑆 ൿ𝑓 ҧ𝑓; 𝐽, 𝐿, 𝑆 , where 𝐿 + 𝑆 = 0.
