Abstract

We report the results of the measurement of T-violating transverse muon polarization in the decays K +μ + ν μ π 0 (K μ3) and K +μ + ν μ γ(K μ2γ) performed in experiment E246 at KEK. The preliminary results obtained for the entire data set taken in the period 1996–2000 are consistent with no T violation in both decays.
