Abstract

We show that

T

is not conserved in the

CP

-nonconserving

K^{0} \to 2 π

decays by direct data analysis (rather than inferentially via

CPT

) over a considerable range of values for the Wu-Yang parameters within the span of existent data. In particular, if

\frac{| η_{00} |}{| η_{+ -} |} <~ 1.0

, then

T

is broken. This result is independent of the final state

π π

interaction.
