Abstract
We present the first observation of the decay KS → π+ π− e+ e− based upon the data collected in 1998 by the NA48 experiment at CERN. We have identified a clean sample of 56 events with negligible background contamination. Using KL → π+ π− π0D decays as normalization sample, the branching ratio is measured to be BR(KS → π+ π− e+ e−) = [4.5 ± 0.7(stat) ± 0.4(syst)] × 10^−5 . This result is in good agreement with the theoretical expectations from the mechanism of inner bremsstrahlung.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
