Discrete symmetries tested at 10 precision using linear polarization of photons from positronium annihilations

Paweł Moskal, Eryk Czerwiński, Juhi Raj +38

Discrete symmetries play an important role in particle physics with violation of CP connected to the matter-antimatter imbalance in the Universe. We report the most precise test of…
