fig. 8.2.
 The logarithms of Γ[K0(t)→f] (dashed line) and of Γ[K0¯(t)→f] (dashed-dotted line) plotted against the time t measured in units τS. We have used the values of ΓL/ΓS,Δm/ΓS, and δ in eqns (8.2)–(8.3) and (8.17). Also, ∣ηf∣=δ/2 and ϕf=43.49° are the (approximate) values relevant for the two-pion decay modes. For an appropriate scaling of the logarithms we have taken ∣〈f∣T∣KS〉∣2=106. For t<6τS both curves approximately follow the simple exponential decay of KS; for t>18τS they both approximate the exponential decay of KL. The interference between KL→ππ and KS→ππ is maximal for t∼9−15τS, and has opposite sign in the decays of K0(t) and of K0¯(t).
