Abstract

Inequality of the rates for K 0 → π+ e − υ− and K 0 → π− e + ν transitions, reported by CPLEAR, and an asymmetry in the distribution of the dihedral angle between the π+π− and e + e − planes in K L → π+π− e + e − decays, found by KTeV, have been announced as demonstrations of T-noninvariance. These results are critically interpreted and compared as proofs of the failure of reciprocity.
