3.6 Discrete Symmetries of the Dirac Theory 65 causes C'P violation. But the value of this parameter is no better understood than the value of the electron mass; the physical origin of CP violation remains a mystery. We will discuss this question further in Section 20.3. Parity With this introduction, let us now discuss the action of P, T, and C on Dirac particles and fields. First consider parity. The operator P should reverse the momentum of a particle without flipping its spin: yea mirror oo ee oa
