                    TIME'S ARROW IN PARTICLE PHYSICS
                   (T-VIOLATION AND RELATED PHENOMENA)

We know very well that in our environment, time always runs in the same
direction. We can jump from a high place into the water but not out of it, 
glasses fall and break but never jump back on the table to reassemble
themselves, and every day we get older and not younger. But what do 
things look like on the sub-microscopic scale of elementary particles?

I will give an introduction into the current understanding of time
invariance and evidence of its violation in experimental particle 
physics. The connection between time invariance and other discrete
symmetries, in particular CP-invariance, will be explained. I will 
show the first experimental determination of T-violation and discuss 
recent experiments on CP-violation and T-violation.
