PARAMETERS FOR ${{\mathit K}_S^0}$ $\rightarrow$ 3 ${{\mathit \pi}}$ DECAY

Im($\eta _{000}$) = Im($\mathit A$( ${{\mathit K}_S^0}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \pi}^{0}}{{\mathit \pi}^{0}}{{\mathit \pi}^{0}}$ )/$\mathit A$( ${{\mathit K}_L^0}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \pi}^{0}}{{\mathit \pi}^{0}}{{\mathit \pi}^{0}}$ ))

${{\mathit K}_S^0}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \pi}^{0}}{{\mathit \pi}^{0}}{{\mathit \pi}^{0}}$ violates $\mathit CP$ conservation, in contrast to ${{\mathit K}_S^0}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \pi}^{+}}{{\mathit \pi}^{-}}{{\mathit \pi}^{0}}$ which has a $\mathit CP$-conserving part.
