The discovery of antimatter in the early 1930s posed a new puzzle: at some point in the past, the universe contained equal amounts of matter and antimatter, which should have annihilated each other completely. However, the existence of galaxies, planets, and our own bodies demonstrates that some of the matter survived this primordial annihilation, while the antimatter did not. This indicates that there must be a small matterantimatter asymmetry in the laws of physics. Understanding these laws involves measuring the parameters governing them. The best way to measure a matterantimatter asymmetry parameter called gamma is with particular radioactive decays of shortlived particles created in dedicated particle accelerators. This thesis describes the 1998 discovery of these decays, which constituted the first step toward the subsequent measurement of gamma. The thesis opens with a laypersonfriendly introduction, using a simple analogy between particle physics and poetry. With this basic understanding at hand, the reader is led through the details of the measurement and its hitech apparatus, obtaining an insider's view of how cuttingedge particlesphysics experiments are performed
