Pion-kaon ($\pi K$) pairs occur frequently as final states in heavy-particle decays. A consistent treatment of $\pi K$ scattering and production amplitudes over a wide energy range is therefore mandatory for multiple applications: in…
It is considered the state of $K^0$ before the decay as that embedded into the vacuum of $+ \bar K^0 - \bar K^0$. Since the state of $K^0_S$ has the lifeitme $\tau_S$, and the state of $K^0_L$ has the lifeitme $\tau_L$, the vacuum of $+…
