CP Violation Problem

The strong CP violation problem has a long history emanating from its discovery 60 years ago in the decay of neutral kaons and the subsequent experimental and theoretical studies over several decades. We review herein experimental data that observe indirect CP violation of the order of ∼10^-3, as well as the discovery of direct CP violation of the order of ∼10^-6. The verification of CP violation in the decay of charged kaons was also observed. Data reflecting CP violation in the decays of B and D mesons have become very important and are also discussed in this review.
