Abstract
Relativistic propagators, the natural tools in field theory to describe the space-time development of a quantum system, are used to study correlations and interferences present in the neutral kaon system due to time-reversal violations. The method allows for a general wave-packet treatment of the problem. While standard results are obtained for singleK decays, quite different results are derived for the interference phase in two kaon decays such as those at DAΦNE.

A careful investigation along these lines in reference 7 has recently resolved a long standing discrepancy (see, T. Fujii et al. Phys Rev Lett 13 (1964) 253 between two methods of determining theK L K S mass difference. It has also led to new type of oscillation in the decay products recoiling against the kaons
