Abstract

CP violation leads to a difference between the parameters g+g^+ and gg^- describing the energy distributions of the charged pions produced in the K+π0π0π+K^+ \to\pi^0 \pi^0 \pi^+ and Kπ0π0πK^- \to \pi^0\pi^0 \pi^- decays. We study the difference (g+g)(g^+ - g^-) as a function of the relative contributions from the QCD-penguin and the electroweak-penguin diagrams. We find that the combination of these contributions in (g+g)(g^+ - g^-) is very similar to the corresponding one defining the parameter ϵ\epsilon' in the KL2πK_L \to 2\pi decays. This observation allows a determination of the value of (g+g)(g^+ - g^-), using data on ϵ\epsilon'.
