CP Violation has been officially detected in Baryons. This means there's a fundamental CP asymmetry. It is still not enough, but were getting there. CP symmetry implies that the laws of physics should remain unchanged if charges are swapped with their corresponding anticharges (charge conjugation, C) and their spatial coordinates are inverted (parity transformation, P). However, experiments have shown that CP symmetry is not perfectly conserved, which may help explain the observed matter dominance.

By providing the first direct evidence of direct CP violation in baryon decays and beauty meson decays to charmonium, the LHCb results open new avenues for testing the SM and searching for physics beyond it. Further studies at LHCb will explore whether the observed CP violation aligns with Standard Model predictions or points toward new interactions and particles. This result will also influence searches for lepton-flavour violation, tests of CP symmetry in other baryons, and analyses of exotic decay channels.
