Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Physics has been the cornerstone of the search for symmetry in the laws of nature for hundreds of years. In particle physics, symmetry is closely related to the fundamental forces and particles that make up the universe. In this Special Issue, we focus on experimental tests of the most fundamental symmetries in particle physics, including the symmetry between matter and antimatter, the conservation of charge, and the conservation of lepton and baryon numbers.
Papers in this Special Issue will explore the latest experimental results and theoretical developments in the field, covering a wide range of topics, including the following:
- CP violation in the leptonic sector (oscillation experiments DUNE, Hyper-K, NOvA, T2K, etc.);
- CPT violation in neutrino physics and/or atomic physics;
- Leptonic number violation: neutrino-less double-beta decay experiments;
- CP violation in the quark sector: mixing matrix unitarity (LHCb experiment).
We welcome submissions from researchers at the frontiers of particle physics, as well as from researchers exploring interdisciplinary linkages between particle physics and other fields and beyond.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
