The logarithms of (dashed line) and of (dashed-dotted line) plotted against the time t measured in units . We have used the values of and in eqns (8.2)–(8.3) and (8.17). Also, and are the (approximate) values relevant for the two-pion decay modes. For an appropriate scaling of the logarithms we have taken . For both curves approximately follow the simple exponential decay of ; for they both approximate the exponential decay of . The interference between and is maximal for , and has opposite sign in the decays of and of .
