Matter-Anti-Matter Asymmetry Problem About to be Solved?

There is matter in the universe.
And that is nearly all that is there.
There can be anti-matter.
Anti-electron, called positron, for electron.
Anti-proton for proton.
Anti-quark for quark.
Anti-matter can be produced in lab.
In the universe it should have been there with the same amount as matter.
But it is not.
What is the reason?
This is the question that is being addressed in report presented on Monday in a meeting by LHCb detector team. This is one of the teams working at CERN.
The results are preliminary.
