Title: AN EXPERIMENTAL TEST OF THE SELECTION RULE AS $delta$S=$delta$Q*

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4819637

The selection rule DELTA Q = DELTA S means that leptonic decays of strange particles are allowed only when the difference in charge between the initial and final strongly interacting particles in the decay is equal to the difference in strangeness. The rule was tested by means of experiments on the leptonic decays of neutral K mesons in the exposure of a propane bubble chamber to a separated K/sup +/ beam. It is concluded that the DELTA Q = DELTA S selection rule is not valid. (D.L.C.)
