Also notice that if K 0 L were the antiparticle of K 0 S , one would get from eqs. (1) and (2) the absurd result |p|2=−|q l |.
Quite clearly the antiparticles cannot be linear combinations of (1) and (2), since such combinations would not have unique lifetimes and masses.
The author would like to thank Prof.S. Okubo for pointing out that this condition has also been proposed from a completely different motivation, byS. H. Patil, Y. Tonozawa andYork-Peng Yao:Phys. Lett.,19, 601 (1965).

Actually what one requires is ImA 2=0.

The estimate of the phase angle depends on the optical model calculations of the K0 and K0 forward scattering amplitudes, whereby these amplitudes are essentially imaginary. See alsoJ. W.
