    Description
    The lecture introduces basics on discrete symmetries and prepares the students to access the fundamental importance of the violation of CP symmetry for the understanding of the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. I discuss the experimental discovery of CP violation in the neutral kaon sector and its explanation in the framework of the Standard Model. The recent discoveries of CP violation phenomena in a system other than neutral kaons (the so-called B mesons) are presented and the conclusions of this discovery for the understanding of CP violation are drawn. We also introduce CP violation in the lepton (neutrino) sector, and CP violation beyond the Standard Model of particle physics.
