Topical Lectures "CP violation"

30 Mar 2026, 09:30 → 1 Apr 2026, 18:00 Europe/Amsterdam

Colloquium room (Nikhef)

Marieke Postma, Niels Tuning, Patrick Koppenburg

Organizers: Marieke Postma, Niels Tuning and Patrick Koppenburg

The aim is to focus on the theme “CP violation”, while remaining broad and inclusive across different approaches, energy scales, and communities. Various aspects are discussed where CP violation manifests itself:

• CP violation in the quark sector 
• CP violation in the electroweak sector
• CP violation at low energy
• CP violation in the lepton sector
• Cosmological implications
