The observation of CP violation in meson decays is a testament to the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) quark mixing paradigm, and an integral part of the Standard Model (SM). The SM also predicts the existence of CP violation in baryon…

Top pair events provide a source of $b\bar{b}$ pairs, which can be used to probe CP violation in heavy-flavour mixing and decay. In events where one of the $W$ bosons decays leptonically to an electron or muon, the charge of the $W$ boson…
