Charge conjugation is a fundamental symmetry operation in particle physics that transforms particles into their corresponding antiparticles. For example, it changes an electron, which has a negative electric charge, into a positron, its antiparticle, which has a positive charge. This operation helps physicists understand the behavior of particles and their interactions. In theoretical frameworks, charge conjugation is often denoted by the symbol C. It plays a crucial role in the study of quantum field theory and is essential for understanding the conservation laws in particle interactions, such as those involving strong, weak, and electromagnetic forces.
