CP Violation in Omega^- Decays

Abstract

We estimate the CP-violating rate asymmetry for the decay Omega^- -> Cascade + pion. Within the standard model, we find that it could be as large as 2 x 10^(-5). This is significantly larger than the corresponding rate asymmetries for other non-leptonic hyperon decays, which are typically less than 10^(-6).
