摘要:
Using its unique capability of strangeness tagging atK0production inpp¯→K∓&pgr;±K0(K¯0)and at decay with the lepton charge in semileptonic decays CPLEAR measured the semileptonic decay-rate asymmetryR(K¯0→e+&pgr;−&ngr;)−R(K0→e−&pgr;+&ngr;¯)R(K¯0→e+&pgr;−&ngr;)+R(K0→e−&pgr;+&ngr;¯).The asymmetry, fitted over the eigentime interval 1–20&tgr;S,yielded a non-zero result of(6.6±1.3stat±1.1syst)×10−3.A thorough phenomenological anaylsis identifies T violation inK0mixing and/or CPT violation in semileptonic decays as possible interpretations. A confrontation with world data on neutral kaon decays, however, excludes the latter with sufficient precision to establish the result as the first direct observation of time reversal non-invariance. ©2000 American Institute of Physics.
