Abstract

We study the

T

-violating transverse muon polarization in the decay of

K^{+} \to μ^{+} ν γ

due to

CP

violation in theories beyond the standard model. We find that the polarization asymmetry could be large in some

CP

violation models and it may be detectable at the ongoing KEK experiment of E246 as well as the proposed BNL experiment.
