CP violation is a necessary requirement to distinguish unambiguously between matter and antimatter. The shared primary objective of the two B Factory experiments was to determine the shape of the so-called unitarity triangle, an abstract triangle representing interactions of quarks, the elementary constituents of matter. The area of the triangle is a measure of the amount of CP violation associated with the weak force.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany other measurements have been performed by the B Factories and are also discussed in this work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adrian Bevan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3662525925\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783662525920\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/12\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 910\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.25w x 1.84d","brand":"Adrian Bevan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47424612532479,"sku":"9783662525920","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_548711fe-d6e2-407a-a123-009ec9bbf555.jpg?v=1761531387","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-physics-of-the-b-adrian-bevan-9783662525920","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
