الملخص:For a long time after the discovery in 1964 by Christenson, Cronin, Fitch and Turlay that the long-lived neutral kaon decays both into three and into two pions, which has since been taken as proof of CP violation, successive new and more precise experiments confirmed the original evidence and provided results compatible with a phenomenological description confining the CP violation to the mixing between neutral kaons and antikaons. However, the Standard Model, with three generations of quarks, linking as it does CP violation to the presence of a single non-trivial phase in the Cabibbo- Kobayashi-Maskawa quark mixing matrix, implies that if CP violation exists at all, then it is a general property of weak interactions, appearing in transitions where amplitudes involving all three quark families interfere with each other, producing effects with a magnitude related to that of the CKM coefficients.This fact has stimulated an impressive amount of theoretical work, leading in many cases to precise predictions. In parallel with the progress in the theory, more refined and much more powerful experiments have been specifically designed and performed in laboratories around the world, culminating with the construction of ad hoc accelerator facilities and detectors at Frascati, KEK and SLAC.
