The investigation of discrete symmetries is a fascinating subject
which has been central to the agenda of physics research for 50
years, and has been the target of many experiments, ongoing and in
preparation, all over the world. This book approaches the subject
from a somewhat less traditional angle: while being self-contained
and suitable to the reader who wants to acquire a solid knowledge
of the topic, it puts more emphasis on the experimental aspects of
the field, trying to provide a wider picture than usual and to
convey the intellectual challenge of experimental physics. The book
includes the related connection to phenomenology, a purpose for
which the precision experiments in this field - often rather
elegant and requiring a good amount of ingenuity - are very well
suited. The book discusses discrete symmetries (parity, charge
conjugation, time reversal, and of course CP symmetry) in
microscopic (atomic, nuclear, and particle) physics, and includes
the detailed description of some key or representative experiments.
The book discusses their principles and challenges more than the
historical development. The main past achievements and the most
recent developments are both included. The level goes from
introductory to advanced. While mainly addressed to graduate
students, the book can also be useful to undergraduates (by
skipping some of the more advanced sections, and utilizing the
brief introductions to some topics in the appendices), and to young
researchers looking for a wider modern overview of the issues
related to CP symmetry.
