The lifetime is in seconds x 10^-11
These results show the lifetime of a K0 particle, a neutral decay product of B0 particle.
To calculate the lifetime of the K0 particle, gamma was calculated using the velocity, and the time in the inertial frame of the K0 particle was calculated using its velocity and length. Gamma was then multiplied by the time to get the lifetime in our inertial frame.
From this data we can conclude that the life time of the particle is about .03 x 10^-11 seconds. The actual lifetime is 0.89×10^-10.
