Abstract
The KS → γ γ decay rate has been measured with the NA48 detector using a high intensity short neutral beam from the CERN SPS. The measured branching ratio BR(KS → γ γ) = (2.78 ± 0.06(stat) ± 0.04(syst)) × 10^−6 , obtained from 7461 ± 172 KS → γ γ events, is significantly higher than the O(p4) prediction of chiral perturbation theory. Using a KL beam the ratio Γ (KL →γ γ)/Γ (KL →π0 π0 π0) = (2.81 ± 0.01stat ± 0.02syst ) × 10^−3 has been measured.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
