Description

One of the big unanswered questions in modern particle physics is why antimatter is absent from the observable universe.

The  LHCb experiment at CERN aims to give an answer to this question by studying quantum effects related to the violation of the Charge-Parity (CP) symmetry in weak interactions.

It is well known that the violation of the CP symmetry is one of the key ingredients necessary for a dynamical generation of a matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe, starting from symmetric initial conditions after the Big Bang. However, the size of CP violation in the Standard Model of particle physics is by far too small to account for the observed baryon asymmetry in the universe.

This implies the existence of other sources of CP violation yet to be discovered.

This seminar will deal with status and perspectives of this important sector of research at the LHCb experiment.
