Searches for Cp Violation in Charmed Meson Decays: A Study of D+ → K - K+ ∏+ at the Lhcb Experiment

by Hamish Gordon

Book Overview

Our current understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the Universe, summarised by the Standard Model of particle physics, is incomplete. For example, it fails to explain why we do not see equal, or almost equal, numbers of particles and their antiparticle partners. To explain this asymmetry requires, among other effects, a mechanism known as charge-parity (CP) violation that causes differences between the rates at which particles and antiparticles...
