Violation of CPT and Quantum Mechanics in the K0 - Anti-K0 System

We reconsider the model of quantum mechanics violation in the K 0 -K0 system, due to Ellis, Hagelin, Nanopoulos, and Srednicki, in which CP-and CPT -violating signatures arise from the evolution of pure states into mixed states.We present a formalism for computing time-dependent asymmetries in this model and show that present data constrains its parameters significantly.In the future, this model will be put to very stringent tests at a factory.We present the theory of these tests and show the relation between particular decay correlations and the parameters of quantum mechanics violation.

Abstract

We reconsider the model of quantum mechanics violation in the K 0 -K0 system, due to Ellis, Hagelin, Nanopoulos, and Srednicki, in which CP-and CPT -violating signatures arise from the evolution of pure states into mixed states.We present a formalism for computing time-dependent asymmetries in this model and show that present data constrains its parameters significantly.In the future, this model will be put to very stringent tests at a factory.We present the theory of these tests and show the relation between particular decay correlations and the parameters of quantum mechanics violation.
