Searches for CP Violation in Charmed Meson Decays A Study of D+ → K - K+ ∏+ at the LHCb Experiment

Our current understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the Universe, summarised by the Standard Model of particle physics, is incomplete. For example, it fails to explain why we do not see equal, or almost equal, numbers of particles and their antiparticle partners. To explain this asymmetr...
