Abstract
Interference in the decay mode of the and mesons is discussed in terms of the mass-matrix formalism. It is shown that the measurement of the branching ratio can be in error by an order of magnitude if interference is not properly accounted for. Data from and reactions at 18.5 are used to determine the branching ratio using the known branching ratio and assuming a value for the coherence factor. We find .
