Determination of the S-wave π π scattering lengths from a study of K ±→π ± π 0 π 0 decays

Abstract
We report the results from a study of the full sample of ∼6.031 × 107 K+- -> pi+- pi0 pi0 decays recorded by the NA48/2 experiment at the CERN SPS. As first observed in this experiment, the pi0 pi0 invariant mass (M00) distribution shows a cusp-like anomaly in the region around M00 = 2m+ , where m+ is the charged pion mass. This anomaly has been interpreted as an effect due mainly to the finalstate charge exchange scattering process pi+ pi− -> pi0 pi0 inK+- -> pi+- pi+ pi- decay. Fits to the M00 distribution using two different theoretical formulations provide the presently most precise determination of a0 − a2 , the difference between the ππ S-wave scattering lengths in the isospin I = 0 and I = 2 states. Higher-order ππ rescattering terms, included in the two formulations, allow also an independent, though less precise, determination of a2.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
