PARAMETERS FOR ${{\mathit K}_L^0}$ $\rightarrow$ 2 ${{\mathit \pi}}$ DECAY

$\eta _{+−}$ = A(${{\mathit K}_L^0}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \pi}^{+}}{{\mathit \pi}^{-}}$) $/$ A(${{\mathit K}_S^0}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \pi}^{+}}{{\mathit \pi}^{-}}$) $\eta _{00}$ = A(${{\mathit K}_L^0}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \pi}^{0}}{{\mathit \pi}^{0}}$) $/$ A(${{\mathit K}_S^0}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \pi}^{0}}{{\mathit \pi}^{0}}$)
The fitted values of $\vert \eta _{+−}\vert $ and $\vert \eta _{00}\vert $ given below are the results of a fit to $\vert \eta _{+−}\vert $, $\vert \eta _{00}\vert $, $\vert \eta _{00}/\eta _{+−}\vert $, and Re($\epsilon {{}^\prime}/\epsilon $). Independent information on $\vert \eta _{+−}\vert $ and $\vert \eta _{00}\vert $ can be obtained from the fitted values of the ${{\mathit K}_L^0}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \pi}}{{\mathit \pi}}$ and ${{\mathit K}_S^0}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \pi}}{{\mathit \pi}}$ branching ratios and the ${{\mathit K}_L^0}$ and ${{\mathit K}_S^0}$ lifetimes. This information is included as data in the $\vert \eta _{+−}\vert $ and $\vert \eta _{00}\vert $ sections with a Document ID “BRFIT.” See the note “$\mathit CP$ violation in ${{\mathit K}_{{{L}}}}$ decays” above for details.

1  This is the square root of the ratio $\mathit R$ given by BURKHARDT 1988 and BARR 1993D.
2  This is the combined results from BARR 1993D and BURKHARDT 1988, taking into account a common systematic uncertainty of $0.0014$.
3  We calculate $\vert \eta _{00}/\eta _{+−}\vert $ = 1$−3(\epsilon {{}^\prime}/\epsilon $) from WOODS 1988 ($\epsilon {{}^\prime}/\epsilon $) value.
