Symmetry violation in the early universe - a book

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the topic of symmetry violation in the early universe, specifically focusing on C, P, and T symmetry violations. A Physics undergraduate seeks resources to deepen their understanding of these concepts and mentions difficulty finding specific literature. A forum member recommends a lengthy book that covers CP violations and suggests searching for articles on "Early Universe particle physics" for additional insights. The recommended book can be found at this link.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of C, P, and T symmetry in particle physics
  • Basic knowledge of early universe cosmology
  • Familiarity with quantum mechanics principles
  • Ability to navigate academic resources and articles
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Early Universe particle physics" articles for foundational knowledge
  • Read the recommended book on CP violations available at this link
  • Engage in discussions in high energy particle physics forums
  • Explore quantum mechanics forums for deeper insights into symmetry violations
USEFUL FOR

Physics undergraduates, researchers in particle physics, and anyone interested in the theoretical aspects of symmetry violations in the early universe.

Hi there,

I've done some searching around on the forums and in the library, but I haven't found what I was looking for - some information of symmetry violation in the early universe. I know some small pieces of information but I'm currently trying to consolidate that so that I have an actual understanding (even if basic) of the theories behind C, P and T symmetry violation in the early universe. I've been so far unable to find any book that particularly addresses the issue and so I was wondering if anyone here could shed some light or point me in the right direction?

By "early universe", I simply mean at the times when these asymmetries were first theorized to occur.

I'm currently a Physics undergraduate (between my first and second year), which I mention just so anyone reading this knows what kind of level I'm at - so if I'm way above my head here, then please let me know!

Thanks for the help! :)

welcome to the forum,

I have a book that is free for distribution. Its not specifically designed for early universe particle physics. By the way you can get numerous articles by typing "Early Universe particle physics." that goes into some aspects of CP violations.

the book I have is more on all forms of fields and does cover a bit on CP violations though its very lengthy and not for the faint of heart.

I would also suggest try asking in either high energy particle physics forum or possibly the QM forum. I would think you would have more luck in the former.
 
Hi, thanks for replying!

Thanks for the link, I'll post this in the High Energy part of the forum :)
