Kaon decay – asymmetry between matter & antimatter

 

Ground-breaking research could challenge underlying principles of physics

Dr Nicolas Garron, a Research Fellow in the Centre of Mathematical Sciences, has helped to devise the first theoretical calculation of how the behavior of kaons differs when matter – anything with mass, such as the world around us – is swapped out for antimatter – made out of similar particles with opposite charge.
