Abstract

We analyze K0K0ˉK^0-\bar{K^0} oscillations in space in terms of propagating wave packets with coherent KSK_S and KLK_L components. The oscillation probabilities PK0K0(x)P_{K^0 \to K^0} (x) and PK0K0ˉ(x)P_{K^0 \to \bar{K^0}} (x) depending only on the distance xx, are defined through the time integration of a current density j(x,t)j(x,t) . The definition is such that it coincides with the experimental setting, thus avoiding some ambiguities and clarifying some controversies that have been discussed recently.
