 decays both into three and into two pions in 1964, confirming the violation of the postulated CP (charge conjugation-parity) symmetry of the laws of physics, and eventually earning a Nobel Prize in the process. Giorgi (physics, U. di Pisa, Italy), Mannelli (Scuola Normale Superiore, Italy), and Sandy (Graduate School of Science, Nagoya U., Japan) present a review of the theoretical and experimental research on the CP violation since that discovery. Seventeen contributions describe the early history of CP violation theory; discuss experiments on CP violation with K and B mesons This is a list of mesons; it is not comprehensive.this is a stub
