Huet, P.

I present a recent study made in collaboration with M.E. Peskin, on the time dependence of a kaon beam propagating according to the ``αβγ`` generalization of quantum mechanics due to Ellis, Hagelin, Nanopoulos and Srednicki, in which CP- and CPT-violating signatures arise from the evolution of pure states to mixed states. The magnitude of two of its parameters β and γ are constrained on the basis of existing experimental data. New facilities such as φ -Factories are shown to be particularly adequate to study this generalization from quantum mechanics and to disentangle its parameters from other CPT violating perturbations of the kaon system.
