Title
The Big Bang ABC: Antimatter, Bananas, and Charm
Abstract
The Big Bang created equal amounts of matter and antimatter, which subsequently annihilated, leaving just a tiny amount of matter: the visible universe. Why, we don’t know. Earlier this year, CERN’s LHCb experiment has discovered matter-antimatter asymmetry in charm quarks. The talk will describe how we made this measurement and how it fits in the bigger picture. So where do bananas come in? The clue is antimatter, come and find out!
