We report on a new measurement of the K L–K S mass difference Δm using the CPLEAR full data sample of neutral-kaon decays to e πν. The result is Δm=(0.5295±0.0020 stat±0.0003 syst)×10 10 ℏ/s. It includes earlier data reported in R. Adler et al., CPLEAR Collaboration, Phys. Lett. B 363 (1995) 237. A measurement of the ΔS= ΔQ violating parameter Re( x) is also obtained.
