Abstract
A very general local realistic theory of single B0dmesons and of correlated
pairs
is formulated. If these pairs are produced in
decay, the local realistic asymmetry for observing pairs with
like and unlike flavour at different proper times remarkably
differs from the quantum mechanical prediction. Asymmetric Bfactories provide a powerful tool for the study of the EPR
problem since the relative detection experiments can be shown
to be
capable of a time-dependent measurement precise enough to
discriminate between local realism and quantum theory.
