MEASUREMENT OF THE RATE OF THE DECAY KL-]E+E-GAMMA AND OBSERVATION OF A FORM-FACTOR IN THIS DECAY
- Abstract:
- A large sample of Dalitz decays, KL→e+e-γ, has been observed. The branching ratio is Γ(KL→e+e-γ)/Γ(K L→ all) = (9.2±0.5±0.5) × 10-6 in good agreement with theoretical predictions. We observe an enhancement at high masses in the distribution of the invariant electron-positron pair mass, compared to the distribution expected from QED. This excess is interpreted as being due to virtual vector mesons contributing to the photon propagator.
