CP symmetry and its violation
CP symmetry is the technical name for an almost, but not quite, exact symmetry of the laws of physics. It is the symmetry between the laws of physics for matter and those for antimatter. CP violation refers to the very small effects showing that this symmetry is not exact. The symmetry appears to be exact for strong interactions and for electromagnetic and gravitational interactions. Only in a few weak interaction processes is any violation of this symmetry found.
