About The Book

Discrete Symmetries in Experimental Physics by Sozzi offers a unique and engaging perspective on the field of discrete symmetries, focusing on its experimental aspects and their connection to phenomenology. With 50 years of research behind it, the investigation of discrete symmetries—such as parity, charge conjugation, time reversal, and CP symmetry—remains a cornerstone of modern physics. This book emphasizes the intellectual challenge of experimental physics and provides a broad view of the subject, beyond the traditional theoretical approach.

The text is self-contained and suitable for graduate students, undergraduates (with some sections skipped), and young researchers who seek an in-depth, modern overview of discrete symmetries and CP symmetry. It covers both past achievements and the most recent developments in the field. The book includes detailed descriptions of key experiments, discussing their principles, challenges, and results. It highlights the elegance and ingenuity of precision experiments, offering valuable insights for those interested in the intricacies of experimental physics.

Written with clarity and depth, the book is an excellent resource for students who want to build a solid understanding of the subject while also grasping the experimental realities of the field. It also offers a wider perspective for researchers who wish to connect theoretical concepts with experimental outcomes.
