leptonic CP violation

Leptonic CP violation refers to a difference in behavior between particles called leptons—like neutrinos—and their antimatter counterparts, antiparticles. Normally, physics treats particles and antiparticles as mirror images, but if CP violation occurs, this symmetry is broken, meaning neutrinos and antineutrinos might oscillate or behave differently. Detecting leptonic CP violation helps scientists understand why the universe contains more matter than antimatter, shedding light on fundamental physics and the origins of our universe's composition.
