5: Exploring matter–antimatter asymmetry with LHCb

Why does our universe seem to be made almost entirely of matter, with barely any antimatter in sight? Join us as we dive in this podcast episode of Early Morning Coffee at CERN (Emc2) into the fascinating world of LHCb, the LHC's beauty experiment, with two leading experimentalists, Yasmine Amhis and Patrick Koppenburg. We explore how the LHCb experiment is probing CP violation to studying hadrons containing b and c quarks and preparing for the High-Luminosity LHC era. Discover what makes LHCb unique—its asymmetric design and its remarkable success in identifying new hadrons.

Why does our universe seem to be made almost entirely of matter, with barely any antimatter in sight? 

Join us as we dive in this podcast episode of Early Morning Coffee at CERN (Emc2) into the fascinating world of LHCb, the LHC's beauty experiment, with two leading experimentalists, Yasmine Amhis and Patrick Koppenburg. We explore how the LHCb experiment is probing CP violation to studying hadrons containing b and c quarks and preparing for the High-Luminosity LHC era. Discover what makes LHCb unique—its asymmetric design and its remarkable success in identifying new hadrons.
