  2. Outline • Data & MC samples • DATA / MC of final selection • Trigger Efficiency • Particle ID efficiency • Br results • K+ / K- • Error analysis • Statistical contributions • Inputs from PDG (pizero Br) • Systematic Errors, stability under variation of selection cuts, and form factor (λ+) • Final result • Conclusion

  3.

  4. Track Section (no extra tracks allowed): 1 track after excluding Ghost-tracks Hodoscope time window (-17. 20. ns) Track quality > 0.8 CDA < 2.5 , Beta, alpha corrections from database x,y vertex (-1.8,1.8) cm , z charge vertex (-500,8000) cm Blue Field correction applied Pi0 Selection (extra gammas allowed for both) Energy of gamma (3, 65) GeV Separation between gammas > 10 cm Time difference between gammas (-5., 5.) ns Energy scale Projectivity correction Calculate neutral vertex for each pair of gammas, and choose gammas based on best difference between charge and neutral vertex Use this neutral vertex in the blue field routine to correct the slopes of the track (reason: phi dependence studies of Alan) Common Selection for Ke3 and pipi0
