Includes bibliographical references (p. 465-477) and index. 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. Why did the matter in our Universe not annihilate itself with antimatter immediately after its creation? The discovery of CP violation may answer this fundamental question and this book presents information and tools necessary to its understanding. |
