  2. The starting point PDG fit ‘06 BR(K±p±p0) = (20,92 ± 0.12)% DBR/BR = 5,7x10-3 CHIANG ’72 BR(K±p±p0) = (21,18 ± 0.28)%DBR/BR = 1,3x10-2 N.B. This decay enters in the normalization of BR(Kl3) by NA48, ISTRA+, E865 Method: • Self-triggering K-m-n tag • Fitting the distribution of the momentum of the charged decay particle in the kaon rest frame assuming the pion mass (p*) • Global efficiencyeTRK+VTX from neutral vertex technique: • asymmetric p*(p0) cut (old method) • ~12% correction from mc_method/mc_true + 11% Kl3 contamination • d_fromClu cut (new method) • ~1% correction from mc_method/mc_true + 3% Kl3 contamination • The shape for the pp0 peak: old vs new method Neutral and Charged Kaon Meeting – 27 February 2007

  4. fit window p* cut The method • mn peak: p*(p mass) distribution from “m-cluster” sample • pp0 peak: p*(p mass) distribution requiring the p0 • 3-body decays: p*(p mass) distribution from MC tagb estimated from MC kpm04 Neutral and Charged Kaon Meeting – 27 February 2007

  9. The new pp0shape • Neutral vtx selection • d_fromClu < 28 cm • charged vtx from signal selection green = mc true red = selected p*(MeV) Smaller MC Correction needed Neutral and Charged Kaon Meeting – 27 February 2007

  10. Fit results (with 1/3 of first 100 pb-1 ) Consider the first 100 pb-1 and use 1 pb-1 every 3 pb-1  ~35 pb-1 (to account for different data taking conditions) With the new method for the efficiency and the new shape for the pp0 peak starting point of the fit window p*p+ = 180 MeV/c residuals p*(MeV) p*(MeV) normalized residuals Neutral and Charged Kaon Meeting – 27 February 2007

  15.

  17. New vs Old pp0Shape: output of the fit Looking at the 7 sub-samples of 25 pb-1 each of 2002 data With the new shape The number of pp0 increases The difference is larger in two sub-samples detailed investigation needed The number of mn remains stable sub-sample Neutral and Charged Kaon Meeting – 27 February 2007

  18. Conclusions • The quality of the fit on the peaks is poor • The disagreement on the pp0 and mn peaks signals • the difference between DATA and MC resolutions • The population of each bin of the p*p+ distribution used for • the extraction of the MC bin by bin correction is crucial • Several methods to improve the situation have been tried • but unfortunately without the desired result • Possible solutions: • smearing the MC true distribution of p*p+ with the resolution • measured on DATA (using the mn from EMC selection) • 2) increase the bin width for the MC bin by bin corrections • 3) ….
