Description
The NA48 experiment at the SPS was designed in the early nineties
to solve the issue of the existence of direct CP violation, and to
measure it with high precision.
The developement of an intense beam, an ensemble of detectors
providing state-of-the art resolution, and a performant data
acquisition system, allowed to perform several other CP violation
measurements to be performed.
After the completion of the above program, the switch to a unique
configuration with twin charged kaon beams allowed accurate searches
for further CP violation effects, exploiting unprecedented statistics
and systematic control thanks to a highly CP-symmetric design.
The CP violation measurements obtained from almost a decade of data
collection will be reviewed.
