he investigation of discrete symmetries is a fascinating subject which has been
central in the agenda of physics research for 50 years, in several fields, and
is 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 and 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. Discrete symmetries (parity, charge conjugation, time reversal and of
course CP symmetry) in microscopic (atomic, nuclear and particle) physics are
discussed, including the detailed description of some key or representative
experiments, discussing their principles and challenges more than the historical
development. The main past achievements and the most recent developments are
both discussed.The level goes from introductory to rather advanced; while mainly
addressed to graduate students, the book can also be useful to undergraduates
(by skipping some of the most advanced sections and profiting from brief
introductions to some topics in the appendixes), and to young researchers
looking for a wider modern overview of the issues related to CP symmetry.
