The CP violation discovered by Fitch implied a lack of what in certain reactions?
Momentum
Energy Conservation
Charge Parity
Spin Correlation
Answer
Charge Parity (CP) violation refers to the difference in behavior between particles and their antiparticles in the presence of a combined charge conjugation (C) and parity (P) transformation. CP violation is crucial because it provides a possible explanation for the preponderance of matter over antimatter in the universe.
