Abstract
The feasibility of placing bounds on violation from experiments with neutral mesons is examined. We consider situations with uncorrelated mesons and ones with either unboosted or boosted correlated mesons. Analytical expressions valid for small - and -violating parameters are presented for time-dependent and time-integrated decay rates, and various relevant asymmetries are derived. We use Monte Carlo simulations to model experimental conditions for a plausible range of -violating parameters. The treatment uses realistic data incorporating background effects, resolutions, and acceptances for typical detectors at CERN LEP, CESR, and the future factories. Presently, there are no bounds on violation in the system. We demonstrate that limits of order 10% on violation can be obtained from data already extant, and we determine the reach attainable within the next few years.
