Contribution of CPLEAR to the physics of the neutral-kaon system

Abstract

We report the results of the CPLEAR experiment on CP-, T- and CPT-symmetries in the neutral kaon system. CP-violation parameters are given for different decay channels. For the first time T-violation is measured by a direct method using semileptonic decays. The CPT symmetry in the kaons decays is tested through the parameters Im(delta), from the Bell-Steinberger relation, with a precision. of 10(-5) and Re(delta) with a precision of a. few 10(-4) (two order of magnitude better than the previous measurement). These two measurements allow us to bound the difference in mass and width of K-0 and (K) over bar(0) It to be equal within 10(-18) GeV. In the limit of CPT invariance in the neutral kaon decays, the K-0 and (K) over bar(0) masses are equal within 10(-19) GeV
