The visible universe is composed of matter particles - protons, neutrons and electrons - rather than their antimatter partners - antiprotons, antineutrons and positrons.
The Big Bang should have created equal amounts of matter and antimatter. Why is there now so much of one and so little of the other?

CP (C: Charge conjugation - P: parity) violation -an effect seen only with certain kinds of elementary particles- could provide the answer.

Andrei Sakharov in 1967 laid out three conditions that would enable a universe containing initially equal amounts of matter and antimatter to evolve into a matter-dominated universe, which we see today.

• The first requirement was that the proton should be unstable. For example, it would be possible this process:

p → e⁺ + π⁰

(proton → positron + pion)

• The second was that there would be interactions violating C and CP (discussed below).
• The third condition was that the universe would undergo a phase of extremely rapid expansion: otherwise, matter and antimatter particles, having equal masses, would be fated to pair up with equal densities.

The favoured theoretical framework for CP violation was provided in 1973 by Makoto Kobayashi and Toshihide Maskawa (Nobel Prize in 2008, with Yoichiro Nambu), who pointed out that CP violation would follow automatically if there were at least six quark flavours. 
CP symmetry refers to the fact that physical processes in nature occur in precisely the same manner if all particles were converted to their antimatter opposites using the CP transformation.

Explicitly, Parity is a property important in the quantum-mechanical description of a physical system. In most cases, it relates to the symmetry of the wave function representing a system of fundamental particles A parity transformation replaces such a system with a type of mirror image. Stated mathematically, the spatial coordinates describing the system are inverted through the point at the origin; that is, the coordinates x, y, and z are replaced with -x, -y, and -z.

In general, if a system is identical to the original system after a parity transformation, the system is said to have even parity. If the final formulation is the negative of the original, its parity is odd. For either parity the physical observables, which depend on the square of the wave function, are unchanged. A complex system has an overall parity that is the product of the parities of its components.

The C operation reverses all additive quantum numbers such as electric charge, hypercharge, strangeness, etc. So, for example, under a CP transformation, a negative helicity proton becomes a positive helicity antiproton. 
It was first predicted - and subsequently confirmed by experiment (in the 1950’s) - that positive and negative helicity particles interact differently: a negative helicity electron will scatter off a nucleus and transform into a neutrino, but a positive helicity electron will not. However,a positive helicity positron will, just like the negative helicity electron. This is an example of CP symmetry.

If the universe would remain unchanged after being through a transformation, we say that it issymmetric, or invariant, under that transformation. The symmetry CP was believed to be exact until 1964.

In this year James Cronin and Val Fitch of Brookhaven National Laboratory discovered a slight anomaly in the decay of a particle called the neutral K-meson, or neutral kaon. That anomaly was the fingerprint of a failure of CP invariance – in other words, of CP violation.

For this work earned Fitch and Cronin the 1980 Nobel Prize in Physics.

The effects of the direct type of CP violation are extremely subtle to detect, and weren’tdiscovered until 1999, in experiments on K mesons at CERN in Geneva and at the Fermi National Laboratory in Illinois (USA).

Accurate measurements have taken place to determine the origin of CP violation in the K-meson system. However, with the K-meson effects due to the strong interaction are too large to draw any conclusion about the origin of CP violation. The expectation is that these effects will be less and better to determine in the case of a heavier meson such as the B-meson.

A B meson consists of a b-antiquark (called "b-bar") and either a u- or d-quark(these are the two lightest quarks). Its antiparticle, called the B antimeson or "B-bar" meson, is made up of a b-quark and a u- or d- antiquark (u-bar or d-bar).  Two experiments in the world have been carried out to measure CP violation in B decay: BaBar (PEP-II - Stanford, USA) andBELLE (KEK -Tsukuba, Japan).

The LHCb experiment is dedicated to study CP violation processes in decays ofB mesons. The LHC will be by far the most copious source of  BA variety of  b-hadrons, such as Bu, Bd, Bs, Bc and b-baryons, are produced at high rate. The experiment will be able to uniquely identify particles by means of (RICH) Cherenkow counters, electromagnetic and hadron calorimeters and a muon  detector. mesons, due to the high  cross section and high luminosity.

The experimental High Energy Physics Group at the University of Santiago de Compostela focuses its research activity in quark physics, trying to probe the limits of the Standard Model. The main current project is Flavour Physics and CP-violation at the LHCb experiment at CERN.

In RUN 1, the LHCb detector saw for B meson decay that the electron decay pathway occurring 25% more often, which could suggest the inuence of particles beyond the standard model. But further examples in RUN 2 are needed to confirm that this is not a statistical fluke.

In March 2019 (Rencontres de Moriond), the LHCb collaboration at CERN has presented for the first time, the matter–antimatter asymmetry known as CP violation in a particle dubbed the D0 meson. To observe this CP asymmetry, the LHCb researchers used the full dataset delivered by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to the LHCb experiment between 2011 and 2018 to look for decays of the D0 meson (this meson is made of a charm quark and an up antiquark and its antiparticle, the anti-D0, into either kaons or pions). CP violation is an essential feature of our universe, necessary to induce the processes that, following the Big Bang, established the abundance of matter over antimatter that we observe in the present-day universe. So far, CP violation has only been observed in particles containing a strange or a bottom quark.

“The result is a milestone in the history of particle physics. Ever since the discovery of the D meson more than 40 years ago, particle physicists have suspected that CP violation also occurs in this system, but it was only now, using essentially the full data sample collected by the experiment, that the LHCb collaboration has finally been able to observe the effect,” said CERN Director for Research and Computing, Eckhard Elsen.

T operation (Time Reversal)

T corresponds to the operation of reversing the direction of Time. If invariant under the T operation, a particle reaction which changes an initial state to a final state can also change the final state back to the initial state. 
Although it is now clear that the laws of physics are not invariant under C, P, or CP, scientists are still optimistic that the ultimate discrete symmetry CPT is not broken.

So, the mirror image of the antimatter world with time running backwards should look exactly the same as ours.
