  3. Of�Kaons,�Flavour and�CP�violation Kaons:�the�lightest�kind�of�flavoured matter • The�birth�of�the�flavour physics�puzzle • The�first�failure�of�a�discrete�symmetry • The�matter"antimatter�asymmetry A�large�and�significant�part�of�particle�physics… TAM07 CP/T violation with K M. S. Sozzi

  5. CP�and�T�violation Even�more�intriguing� and�mysterious: the�interplay�of�CP�and�T� through�the�“rock"solid” (?)� CPT�theorem TAM07 CP/T violation with K M. S. Sozzi

  6. Kaons as�the� minimal�flavour laboratory Kaons remain�a�privileged�observatory for�flavour physics�phenomena • All the�features�of�flavour physics�are� present�(i.e.�all�kinds�of�CP�violation�– of�same�size�as�in�B) • Very� simple (minimal)�system • Very�nicely� accessible experimentally • Very� hard for�theorists… TAM07 CP/T violation with K M.
