Abstract
Symmetry under the discrete transformation CPT is a general theoretical condition holding for local relativistic field theories of point particles [1]–[7]. This symmetry has been investigated experimentally under different circumstances and to a high degree of precision [8]. The broad theoretical validity of CPT symmetry for particles and the availability of high-precision tests makes CPT violation an interesting candidate experimental signal for fundamental theories such as string theory [9, 10, 11].
