Limit on Quark--Antiquark Mass Difference from the Neutral Kaon System

Michael J. Fromerth, Jan Rafelski

We quantify the limits on quark-antiquark mass differences imposed by the neutral kaon mass system. In particular, we find that an upper limit to the mass difference of 10-3 eV exists if mass differences across quark flavors are uncorrelated. In the upcoming antihydrogen experiments this limit on quark mass difference would allow a measurement of electron-positron mass difference up to a relative precision level of 10-15.
