Description
Totally unexpected violation of CP symmetry was discovered in 1964 in the neutral kaon decays. Although an elegant way to explain this within the framework of the Standard Model was proposed already 1973 by Kobayashi and Maskawa, we had to wait till 2002 to confirm this when the CP violation in the decay amplitudes was established in the neutral kaon decays (non zero epsilon prim), and CP violation in the neutral B meson decays into J/psi K-short final state was observed and confirmed the Standard Model expectation. Now the goal of the experimental effort to study CP violation has shifted to look for a sign of physics beyond the Standard Model. In this talk, we review the past and current experimental efforts to study CP violation and discuss future prospects.
