Abstract
The decay rate of KL → π0 γ γ has been measured with the NA48 detector at the CERN SPS. A total of 2558 KL → π0 γ γ candidates have been observed with a residual background of 3.2%. The branching ratio is determined to be (1.36 ±0.03(stat) ±0.03(syst) ±0.03(norm)) × 10^−6 and the vector coupling constant av = −0.46 ±0.03(stat) ±0.04(syst) . This result suggests that the CP-violation effects are dominating in the KL → π0 e+ e− decay. An upper limit for the KL → π0 γ γ decay rate in the two photon mass region m(γγ) < m(π0) is also given.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
