* An extensive discussion of how to consistently define a CP symmetry in gauge theories can be found in [[https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/9506272|Automorphisms in Gauge Theories and the Definition of CP and P]] by W. Grimus and M. N. Rebelo

<tabbox Why is it interesting?> 
A CP transformation transforms a particle into the corresponding antiparticle. A intact CP symmetry therefore means that particles and antiparticles are indistinguishable. However, we know from experiments that CP is a broken symmetry since, for example, there are more particles than antiparticles in the visible universe.
