Definitions
CPT is a physics abbreviation standing for the combined symmetry operations of Charge conjugation, Parity transformation, and Time reversal. CPT symmetry is a fundamental principle in quantum field theory stating that physics should remain invariant under the combined application of all three operations simultaneously. It is an entirely technical abbreviation confined to theoretical physics and particle physics literature. No slang dimension; purely specialist scientific vocabulary.
The experiment was designed to test for violations of CPT symmetry at extremely high energy scales.
