The neutral K meson or neutral kaon K0 and its antiparticle Kbar0 form aremarkable quantummechanical twostate system that has played an importantrole in the history of elementary particle physics. Indeed ever since thediscovery of K0 half a century ago neutral kaons have been a rich source ofunique and facinating phenomena associated with their production decay andpropagation in both vacuum and matter. This overview conveys the unique beautyof a quantummechanical system that contains so many of the aspects of modernphysics. TOCFrom the contents BRIntroduction.
