CP violation at colliders

Abstract

The prospects of experimental detection of CP violation at e⁺ e⁻ and pp/pp̅ colliders are reviewed. After a general discussion on the quantities which can measure CP violation and on the implications of the CPT theorem, various possibilities of measuring CP violation arising outside the standard model are taken up.CP violation in leptonic processes, especially polarization effects in e⁺ e⁻→l⁺ l⁻ are discussed next. CP violation in tt̅ and W⁺ W⁻ production and decay is also described.
