There is a difference between the physicsof matter and antimatter. It's name is CP Violation
The LHC will study this by looking differencesbetween particles called B0 and B0 mesons

But.......
We might be looking in the wrong place....
The smallest, most insignificant (yet mostcommon) particle in the cosmos may just hold the reason!

A idea called “Leptogenesis” suggeststhat the asymmetry we see between matter and antimatter could have been generated by an asymmetry between neutrinos and anti-neutrinos at the beginning of things.

So what is a neutrino?
Neutrinos are the second most common particle in the universe. They are produced whenever something radioactively decays

The sun generates about 2x1038 neutrinos/s as byproducts of the fusion processes that make the star shine.

So why don't we notice?
n are almost ghosts. They interact extremely weakly with matter.
To a neutrino a planet is mostly empty space.

"The chances of a neutrino actually hitting something as it travels through all this howling emptiness are roughly comparable to that of dropping a ball bearing at random from a cruising 747 and hitting, say, an egg sandwich."

The Master Plan
Measure oscillations of neutrinos
Measure oscillations of anti-neutrinos
Difference between these two numbers indicates a difference between thephysics of neutrino and anti-neutrinos
Can help show that leptogenesis works
Experiment is starting now....

But we still don't know much about the neutrino itself!
What is the mass of a neutrino?
Why are they so much lighter than all the other massive particles?
Are neutrinos the same as antineutrinos?
Are neutrinos the reason we are here at all?

In experiments neutrinos are NEVER seen.
We can only detect them through the byproducts of their interactions with matter.

Things we still don't know
How much do n1,n2 and n3 weigh?
Why are they so much lighter than all the other massive particles?
Are neutrinos the same as antineutrinos?
Are neutrinos the reason we are here at all?
