Abstract
The best known and verified part of particle physics is quantum electrodynamics (QED). This theory is invariant under each of the discrete symmetries
-
P : Parity (space inversion)
-
T : Time reversal
-
C : Charge conjugation (particleantiparticle exchange)

1. General reviews
Much of the material is based on my article “Present Status of CP Violation” to be published in the Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle Science, Volume 36. I also refer to my 1968 Erice lectures published in “Theory and Phenomenology in Particle Physics (A. Zichichi, Ed.) Academic Press (1969).
2. Experimental Summaries
A good review of older experiments is given by K. Kleinknecht, Ann. Rev. Nuc. Sci. 26:1 (1976). A recent review of ∈′/∈ measurements is given by G. Gollin, Proc. of the Oregon Meeting, World Scientific (1986).
