CP violation is essential to understanding the universe in which we live. Without it there can be no dominance of matter over anti-matter. New experimental facilities, such as the B-factories, and new experimental techniques promise the first real advances in our understanding of this phenomenon since its discovery in the mid-60's. The Workshop on CP violation brought together representatives of all the major experimental collaborations and key theorists. The result is an excellent introduction to the directions in which the field will move in the next few years.

This volume focuses on theoretical and experimental aspects of the η′ meson. The η′ pseudoscalar meson plays a special role in QCD as its mass is largely due to the explicit breaking of the axial U(1) symmetry by the quantum fluctuations of QCD (axial anomaly). The precise mechanism that gives the η′ its large mass is not yet fully understood, and also the current knowledge of the η′ specific properties is far from complete. This volume addresses both theoretical and experimental open issues of relevance in our understanding of this peculiar meson.
