“…The experimental situation on Re(ε ′ /ε) is unclear at present. While the result of the NA31 collaboration at CERN with Re(ε ′ /ε) = (23 ± 7) · 10 −4 (Barr et al, 1993) clearly indicates direct CP violation, the value of E731 at Fermilab, Re(ε ′ /ε) = (7.4 ± 5.9) · 10 −4 (Gibbons et al, 1993), is compatible with superweak theories (Wolfenstein, 1964) in which ε ′ /ε = 0. The E731 result is in the ball park of the theoretical estimates.…”
