Kaon System

The kaon system involves subatomic particles called kaons that can exist in different states and transform into each other through a process known as mixing. Kaons are unstable particles composed of quarks, and they can decay into lighter particles. Interestingly, kaons exhibit a phenomenon called CP violation, where the laws of physics behave slightly differently for matter and antimatter. Studying these behaviors helps scientists understand fundamental asymmetries in the universe, such as why more matter than antimatter exists today. Overall, the kaon system provides key insights into the underlying principles governing particle physics and the universe's evolution.
