Summary

A difference between the behavior of a process and its charge-parity transformed process, observed in weak interactions and represented in the Standard Model by physical complex phases in flavor mixing.

CKM matrixCP violation

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

With three nondegenerate quark generations, a nonzero rephasing-invariant CKM phase permits CP-violating weak-interaction observables, while the measured magnitude remains process dependent.

How to interpret this relation type

A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.

CP violationKaon CP-violation experiment

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Neutral-kaon decay measurements established CP violation by comparing decay behavior and time evolution in the kaon system, while later measurements test its detailed flavor-sector description.

How to interpret this relation type

The source theory, law, entity, prediction, or structural claim is directly tested, supported, constrained, or established by the target experiment or observation. Experimental support is not final logical proof; the edge detail states exactly what was measured.
