Phenomenology of the - System

Thomas Ruf

8 August 1996

Abstract:

The CPLEAR experiment measures , and violation parameters in the neutral kaon system through time dependent decay rate asymmetries of , and conjugated processes. The phenomenology used to describe the CPLEAR measurements is presented without any phase convention and without assuming from the beginning small violations of , or symmetry.
