Abstract

The concept of discrete symmetries in classical and quantum physics is reviewed. An account is given ofCP violation observed in theK-meson system and of other experiments whereCP symmetry has been tested. The present theoretical ideas onCP violation within the standard model, and problems needing extension of the model are described. Finally, ideas and experimental approaches toCP violation beyond the standard model are reviewed in brief.
