| contents | We consider a class of nonlocal conservation laws with an interaction kernel supported on the negative real half-line and featuring a decreasing jump at the origin. We provide, for the first time, an existence and uniqueness theory for said model with initial data in the space of probability measures. Our concept of solution allows to sort a lack of uniqueness problem which we exhibit in a specific example. Our approach uses the so-called \emph{quantile}, or \emph{pseudo-inverse} formulation of the PDE, which has been largely used for similar types of nonlocal transport equations in one-space dimension. Partly related to said approach, we then provide a deterministic particle approximation theorem for the equation under consideration, which works for general initial data in the space of probability measures with compact support. As a crucial step in both results, we use that our concept of solution (which we call \emph{dissipative measure solution}) implies an instantaneous \emph{measure-to-$L^\infty$} smoothing effect, a property which is known to be featured as well by local conservation laws with genuinely nonlinear fluxes. |
