Chiral pole model and nonleptonic weak interactions

II—Second-order KL-KS mass difference

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1971-1996)

Summary

We employ chiral symmetry in quark and in hadron language to show why theCP-conserving KL-KS mass difference Δm LS is about one-half of the KS total decay rate Γs
