Observation of the different behaviour of baryonic matter and antimatter.
First observation of CP violation in baryon decays – an important milestone in the history of particle physics. Yesterday, at the Rencontres de Moriond EW, the LHCb collaboration reported the first observation of CP violation in baryon decays. The corresponding publication, submitted to Nature, appeared on arXiv. Differences in the properties of matter and antimatter,…
