Abstract
A search for the decay K-S --> pi(0)e(+)e(-) has been made by the NA48/1 experiment at the CERN SPS accelerator. Using data collected during 89 days in 2002 with a high-intensity KS beam, 7 events were found with a background of 0.15 events.. The branching fraction BR(K-S --> pi(0)e(+)e(-), m(ee) > 0.165 GeV/c(2)) = (3.0(-1.2)(+1.5) (stat)+/-0.2(syst)) x 10(-9) has been measured. Using a vector matrix element and a form factor equal to one, the measurement gives BR(K-S --> pi(0)e(+)e(-)) = (5.8(-2.4)(+2.9)) x 10(-9).File in questo prodotto:
