[a] {{note|quarkcontent}} Makeup inexact due to non-zero quark masses. 
[b] {{note|Lifetime}} PDG reports the [[resonance width]] (Γ). Here the conversion τ = {{frac|ħ|Γ}} is given instead. 
[c] {{note|strongforce}}[[Strong force|Strong]] [[eigenstate]]. No definite lifetime (see [[List of mesons#Notes on neutral kaons|kaon notes]] below) 
[d] {{note|Kaonmass}} The mass of the {{Subatomic particle|K-long0}} and {{Subatomic particle|K-short0}} are given as that of the {{Subatomic particle|Kaon0}}. However, it is known that a difference between the masses of the {{Subatomic particle|K-long0}} and {{Subatomic particle|K-short0}} on the order of {{val|2.2|e=-11|u=MeV/c2}} exists.<ref name=PDGK-long/> 
[e] {{note|Kaon}}[[Weak force|Weak]] [[eigenstate]]. Makeup is missing small [[CP violation|CP–violating]] term (see [[List of mesons#Notes on neutral kaons|notes on neutral kaons]] below).

[f] {{note|Lifetime2}} PDG reports the [[resonance width]] (Γ). Here the conversion τ = {{frac|ħ|Γ}} is given instead. 
[g] {{note|Lifetime3}} The exact value depends on the method used. See the given reference for detail.

===Notes on neutral kaons===
There are two complications with [[Electric charge|neutral]] [[kaon]]s:<ref name="Cronin"/>

*Due to [[Kaon#Neutral kaon mixing|neutral kaon mixing]], the {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-short0}} and {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-long0}} are not [[eigenstate]]s of [[strangeness]]. However, they ''are'' eigenstates of the [[weak force]], which determines how they [[Radioactive decay|decay]], so these are the particles with definite [[Mean lifetime|lifetime]].
*The [[linear combination]]s given in the table for the {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-short0}} and {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-long0}} are not exactly correct, since there is a small correction due to [[CP violation]]. See [[Kaon#CP violation|CP violation in kaons]].

Note that these issues also exist in principle for other neutral [[flavour (particle physics)|flavored]] mesons; however, the weak eigenstates are considered separate particles only for kaons because of their dramatically different lifetimes.<ref name="Cronin">J.W. Cronin (1980)</ref><noinclude>

[f] {{note|Lifetime2}} PDG reports the [[resonance width]] (Γ). Here the conversion τ = {{frac|ħ|Γ}} is given instead. 
[g] {{note|Lifetime3}} The exact value depends on the method used. See the given reference for detail.

===Notes on neutral kaons===
There are two complications with [[Electric charge|neutral]] [[kaon]]s:<ref name="Cronin"/>

*Due to [[Kaon#Neutral kaon mixing|neutral kaon mixing]], the {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-short0}} and {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-long0}} are not [[eigenstate]]s of [[strangeness]]. However, they ''are'' eigenstates of the [[weak force]], which determines how they [[Radioactive decay|decay]], so these are the particles with definite [[Mean lifetime|lifetime]].
*The [[linear combination]]s given in the table for the {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-short0}} and {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-long0}} are not exactly correct, since there is a small correction due to [[CP violation]]. See [[Kaon#CP violation|CP violation in kaons]].

Note that these issues also exist in principle for other neutral [[flavour (particle physics)|flavored]] mesons; however, the weak eigenstates are considered separate particles only for kaons because of their dramatically different lifetimes.<ref name="Cronin">J.W. Cronin (1980)</ref><noinclude>

===Notes on neutral kaons===
There are two complications with [[Electric charge|neutral]] [[kaon]]s:<ref name="Cronin"/>

*Due to [[Kaon#Neutral kaon mixing|neutral kaon mixing]], the {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-short0}} and {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-long0}} are not [[eigenstate]]s of [[strangeness]]. However, they ''are'' eigenstates of the [[weak force]], which determines how they [[Radioactive decay|decay]], so these are the particles with definite [[Mean lifetime|lifetime]].
*The [[linear combination]]s given in the table for the {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-short0}} and {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-long0}} are not exactly correct, since there is a small correction due to [[CP violation]]. See [[Kaon#CP violation|CP violation in kaons]].

Note that these issues also exist in principle for other neutral [[flavour (particle physics)|flavored]] mesons; however, the weak eigenstates are considered separate particles only for kaons because of their dramatically different lifetimes.<ref name="Cronin">J.W. Cronin (1980)</ref><noinclude>

[f] {{note|Lifetime2}} PDG reports the [[resonance width]] (Γ). Here the conversion τ = {{frac|ħ|Γ}} is given instead. 
[g] {{note|Lifetime3}} The exact value depends on the method used. See the given reference for detail.

===Notes on neutral kaons===
There are two complications with [[Electric charge|neutral]] [[kaon]]s:<ref name="Cronin"/>

*Due to [[Kaon#Neutral kaon mixing|neutral kaon mixing]], the {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-short0}} and {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-long0}} are not [[eigenstate]]s of [[strangeness]]. However, they ''are'' eigenstates of the [[weak force]], which determines how they [[Radioactive decay|decay]], so these are the particles with definite [[Mean lifetime|lifetime]].
*The [[linear combination]]s given in the table for the {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-short0}} and {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-long0}} are not exactly correct, since there is a small correction due to [[CP violation]]. See [[Kaon#CP violation|CP violation in kaons]].

Note that these issues also exist in principle for other neutral [[flavour (particle physics)|flavored]] mesons; however, the weak eigenstates are considered separate particles only for kaons because of their dramatically different lifetimes.<ref name="Cronin">J.W. Cronin (1980)</ref><noinclude>

[f] {{note|Lifetime2}} PDG reports the [[resonance width]] (Γ). Here the conversion τ = {{frac|ħ|Γ}} is given instead. 
[g] {{note|Lifetime3}} The exact value depends on the method used. See the given reference for detail.

===Notes on neutral kaons===
There are two complications with [[Electric charge|neutral]] [[kaon]]s:<ref name="Cronin"/>

*Due to [[Kaon#Neutral kaon mixing|neutral kaon mixing]], the {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-short0}} and {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-long0}} are not [[eigenstate]]s of [[strangeness]]. However, they ''are'' eigenstates of the [[weak force]], which determines how they [[Radioactive decay|decay]], so these are the particles with definite [[Mean lifetime|lifetime]].
*The [[linear combination]]s given in the table for the {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-short0}} and {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-long0}} are not exactly correct, since there is a small correction due to [[CP violation]]. See [[Kaon#CP violation|CP violation in kaons]].

Note that these issues also exist in principle for other neutral [[flavour (particle physics)|flavored]] mesons; however, the weak eigenstates are considered separate particles only for kaons because of their dramatically different lifetimes.<ref name="Cronin">J.W. Cronin (1980)</ref><noinclude>

[f] {{note|Lifetime2}} PDG reports the [[resonance width]] (Γ). Here the conversion τ = {{frac|ħ|Γ}} is given instead. 
[g] {{note|Lifetime3}} The exact value depends on the method used. See the given reference for detail.

===Notes on neutral kaons===
There are two complications with [[Electric charge|neutral]] [[kaon]]s:<ref name="Cronin"/>

*Due to [[Kaon#Neutral kaon mixing|neutral kaon mixing]], the {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-short0}} and {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-long0}} are not [[eigenstate]]s of [[strangeness]]. However, they ''are'' eigenstates of the [[weak force]], which determines how they [[Radioactive decay|decay]], so these are the particles with definite [[Mean lifetime|lifetime]].
*The [[linear combination]]s given in the table for the {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-short0}} and {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-long0}} are not exactly correct, since there is a small correction due to [[CP violation]]. See [[Kaon#CP violation|CP violation in kaons]].

Note that these issues also exist in principle for other neutral [[flavour (particle physics)|flavored]] mesons; however, the weak eigenstates are considered separate particles only for kaons because of their dramatically different lifetimes.<ref name="Cronin">J.W. Cronin (1980)</ref><noinclude>

[a] {{note|quarkcontent}} Makeup inexact due to non-zero quark masses. 
[b] {{note|Lifetime}} PDG reports the [[resonance width]] (Γ). Here the conversion τ = {{frac|ħ|Γ}} is given instead. 
[c] {{note|strongforce}}[[Strong force|Strong]] [[eigenstate]]. No definite lifetime (see [[List of mesons#Notes on neutral kaons|kaon notes]] below) 
[d] {{note|Kaonmass}} The mass of the {{Subatomic particle|K-long0}} and {{Subatomic particle|K-short0}} are given as that of the {{Subatomic particle|Kaon0}}. However, it is known that a difference between the masses of the {{Subatomic particle|K-long0}} and {{Subatomic particle|K-short0}} on the order of {{val|2.2|e=-11|u=MeV/c2}} exists.<ref name=PDGK-long/> 
[e] {{note|Kaon}}[[Weak force|Weak]] [[eigenstate]]. Makeup is missing small [[CP violation|CP–violating]] term (see [[List of mesons#Notes on neutral kaons|notes on neutral kaons]] below).

[f] {{note|Lifetime2}} PDG reports the [[resonance width]] (Γ). Here the conversion τ = {{frac|ħ|Γ}} is given instead. 
[g] {{note|Lifetime3}} The exact value depends on the method used. See the given reference for detail.

===Notes on neutral kaons===
There are two complications with [[Electric charge|neutral]] [[kaon]]s:<ref name="Cronin"/>

*Due to [[Kaon#Neutral kaon mixing|neutral kaon mixing]], the {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-short0}} and {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-long0}} are not [[eigenstate]]s of [[strangeness]]. However, they ''are'' eigenstates of the [[weak force]], which determines how they [[Radioactive decay|decay]], so these are the particles with definite [[Mean lifetime|lifetime]].
*The [[linear combination]]s given in the table for the {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-short0}} and {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-long0}} are not exactly correct, since there is a small correction due to [[CP violation]]. See [[Kaon#CP violation|CP violation in kaons]].

Note that these issues also exist in principle for other neutral [[flavour (particle physics)|flavored]] mesons; however, the weak eigenstates are considered separate particles only for kaons because of their dramatically different lifetimes.<ref name="Cronin">J.W. Cronin (1980)</ref><noinclude>

[f] {{note|Lifetime2}} PDG reports the [[resonance width]] (Γ). Here the conversion τ = {{frac|ħ|Γ}} is given instead. 
[g] {{note|Lifetime3}} The exact value depends on the method used. See the given reference for detail.

===Notes on neutral kaons===
There are two complications with [[Electric charge|neutral]] [[kaon]]s:<ref name="Cronin"/>

*Due to [[Kaon#Neutral kaon mixing|neutral kaon mixing]], the {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-short0}} and {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-long0}} are not [[eigenstate]]s of [[strangeness]]. However, they ''are'' eigenstates of the [[weak force]], which determines how they [[Radioactive decay|decay]], so these are the particles with definite [[Mean lifetime|lifetime]].
*The [[linear combination]]s given in the table for the {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-short0}} and {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-long0}} are not exactly correct, since there is a small correction due to [[CP violation]]. See [[Kaon#CP violation|CP violation in kaons]].

Note that these issues also exist in principle for other neutral [[flavour (particle physics)|flavored]] mesons; however, the weak eigenstates are considered separate particles only for kaons because of their dramatically different lifetimes.<ref name="Cronin">J.W. Cronin (1980)</ref><noinclude>

[f] {{note|Lifetime2}} PDG reports the [[resonance width]] (Γ). Here the conversion τ = {{frac|ħ|Γ}} is given instead. 
[g] {{note|Lifetime3}} The exact value depends on the method used. See the given reference for detail.

===Notes on neutral kaons===
There are two complications with [[Electric charge|neutral]] [[kaon]]s:<ref name="Cronin"/>

*Due to [[Kaon#Neutral kaon mixing|neutral kaon mixing]], the {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-short0}} and {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-long0}} are not [[eigenstate]]s of [[strangeness]]. However, they ''are'' eigenstates of the [[weak force]], which determines how they [[Radioactive decay|decay]], so these are the particles with definite [[Mean lifetime|lifetime]].
*The [[linear combination]]s given in the table for the {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-short0}} and {{Subatomic particle|link=yes|K-long0}} are not exactly correct, since there is a small correction due to [[CP violation]]. See [[Kaon#CP violation|CP violation in kaons]].

Note that these issues also exist in principle for other neutral [[flavour (particle physics)|flavored]] mesons; however, the weak eigenstates are considered separate particles only for kaons because of their dramatically different lifetimes.<ref name="Cronin">J.W. Cronin (1980)</ref><noinclude>
