Contents:

C, P, and T in classical dynamics -- C, P, and T in non-relativistic quantum mechanics -- C, P, and T in relativistic quantum theories -- Quantum mechanics of neutral particles -- The quest for CP violation in K decays : a marathon -- The KM implementation of CP violation -- The theory of K-L : [pi][pi] decays -- Paradigmatic discoveries in B physics -- Let the drama unfold : B CP phenomenology -- Rare K and B decays : almost perfect laboratories -- CPT violation : could it be in K and B decays? -- CP violation in charm decays : the dark horse -- The strong CP problem -- Quest for CP violation in the neutrino sector -- Possible corrections to the KM ansatz : right-handed currents and non-minimal Higgs dynamics -- CP violation without non-perturbative dynamics : top quarks and charged leptons -- SUSY-providing shelter for Higgs dynamics -- Minimal flavour violation and extra dimensions -- Baryogenesis in the universe.

Summary: Why didn't the matter in our Universe annihilate with antimatter immediately after its creation? The study of CP violation may help to answer this fundamental question. This book presents theoretical tools necessary to understand this phenomenon. Reflecting the explosion of new results over the last decade, this second edition has been substantially expanded. It introduces charge conjugation, parity and time reversal, before describing the Kobayashi-Maskawa (KM) theory for CP violation and our understanding of CP violation in kaon decays. It reveals how the discovery of B mesons has provided a new laboratory to study CP violation with KM theory predicting large asymmetries, and discusses how these predictions have been confirmed since the first edition of this book. Later chapters describe the search for a new theory of nature's fundamental dynamics. This book is suitable for researchers in high energy, atomic and nuclear physics and the history and philosophy of science.
