CP Violation in Particle Physics Discrete symmetries in particle physics C – Charge conjugation,

CP Violation in Particle Physics Discrete symmetries in particle physics C – Charge conjugation, transforms particles to antiparticles violated by weak interactions P – Parity, changes left-handedness to right-handedness violated by weak interactions T – Time reversal, changes direction of motion (forward to backward) CPT – exactly conserved in quantum field theory CP – conserved by all gauge interactions violated by three-flavor quark mixing matrix v All measured CP-violating effects derive from a single phase in the quark mass matrix (Kobayashi-Maskawa phase), i. e. from complex Yukawa couplings v Cosmic matter-antimatter asymmetry requires new ingredients M.
