dc.abstract.enPositronium is a suitable leptonic system to test Charge-Parity (CP) discrete symmetry involving the correlations of photons momenta originating from ortho-positronium (o-Ps) annihilation. The photon–photon interaction in the final state due to the vacuum polarization may mimic CP symmetry violation of the order of 10$^{-9}$, while weak interaction effects lead to a violation of the order of 10$^{-14}$ according to the Standard Model prediction. So far, the experimental limits on CP symmetry violation in the o-Ps decay are set at the level of 10$^{-4}$. One of the unique features of the J-PET detector is its ability to measure the polarization direction of the annihilation photons without the magnetic field. The J-PET detector can be used to explore discrete symmetry by looking for probable non-zero expectation values of the symmetry-odd operators, constructed from spin of ortho-Positronium and momentum, and polarization vectors of gamma (γ) quanta resulting from o-Ps annihilation. In this work, the J-PET detector experimental and analysis method to improve the sensitivity level at least by one order for CP discrete symmetry studies in the o-Ps decay via symmetry odd operator $(\vec{\epsilon_{i}} \cdot \vec{k_{j}})$, where $\vec{\epsilon_{i}}$ and $\vec{k_{j}}$ are reconstructed polarization and momentum vectors of photons from the o-Ps decays, respectively, will be presented.
