Constraint on the Matter-Antimatter Symmetry-Violating Phase in Neutrino Oscillations

K. Abe, R. Akutsu, A. Ali +332

The current laws of physics do not explain the observed imbalance of matter and antimatter in the universe. Sakharov proposed that an explanation would require the violation of CP…
